What if...
There are a few things
I've missed out on in my life-
time. The initial public of-
fering of Microsoft, the last
four deer gun openers, a
1969 GTO Judge and most
recently, the amazing come-
back that took place during
Sunday's Super Bowl. Yeah,
I'll admit it, I checked out
early in the second half. But
I'm probably not the only
one. The score had just turned
28-3. Atlanta's looking good
and New England looks beat-
en. To the hot tub for us and
deep inside I was glad that
the Patriots were finally go-
ing to lose badly.
But in the time it took to
wrinkle our fingers and toes
up real good, something pret-
ty amazing must have hap-
pened in .Houston. Mary got
out first and in a couple sec-
onds, opens the door and
tells me I better get out here
because the game's about to
go into overtime! What? No
possible way! Way.
For those of you that
watched it, it must have been
great. For the Patriots, it
must have been better than
great. For the Falcons, a lot
of what ifs. Yes, there have
been some good Super Bowls
and over the years there's
been some bad ones. This one
will go down as probably the
greatest. I hope I've learned
my lesson. Never give up on
a game in which Tom Brady
has something to do with it.
In a few days I'll look on-
line to see the highlights.
Maybe I'll check out a
Mecum auction docket to
see if there's a bright orange
Judge for sale somewhere
(just to see it mind you). I
guess it's always sort of fun
to wonder what-if. Unless
you're an Atlanta Falcon fan
this week.
