That Cardinal/Packer game was the best! Not just because I hate the Pack and believe Larry Fitzgerald is the greatest receiver ever. 5 reasons why that I found on a Facebook post......
1. The deflected pass to Fitz which bounced off and landed into Cardinal's Floyd hands for a go ahead touchdown. Fortuitous in and of itself without regards to other events.
2. Rodgers converts on a 4th and 20 (for 60 yards) from his own 4 yard line to position the Packers for their Hail Mary. Receiver Janis catches it.....
3. Rodgers converts the "Hail Mary" for the 2nd time this season to send game to OT. Cards rush 7 and a man who has only 4 career receptions(Janis) gets the touchdown. He also got more receiving yards in that drive than he got all season.
4. The coin doesn't flip! Try doing that all day long and you couldn't replicate that act. The ref and others who saw it were taken back with no flip of the coin, and we're so flabbergasted about it that Rodgers never got the chance to change his original call of "heads" on the 2nd attempt. This part of the game is pretty insignificant, but ridiculous.
5. Larry Fitgerald took over, and nearing his mid 30's he ran through guys 10 years younger than him. The guy looks to be in his prime, and is Hall of Fame bound! He is one of very few from his class that is still playing the game, and has done it all with one team, Arizona. Will probably retire as a Cardinal which is unheard of in this day in sports to stay with only one team.

B and H - so close to each other
Time to make my way to Chicago instead. With the markets taking a dive, dancers should be a little more, um, desperate.
So why the hell didn't the Packer's go for the 2-point conversation at the end and try to win it? Damn.
