To quote the late great St. Louis Cardinal announcer, Jack Buck, "I can't believe what I just saw."
That quote aptly applies to what I and millions of others saw tonight on Monday Night Football. With the Seattle Seahawks down by five points against the Green Bay Packers with eight seconds remaining in the game, Seahawks QB, Russell Wilson, heaves a Hail Mary Pass into the end zone hoping one of his receivers catches the ball. Eventually, the ball comes down in the left corner of the end zone surrounded by five Packers and one Seahawk, Golden Tate. And a catch was made. But by whom?
As one tweeter succinctly tweeted, "it is the first time in NFL history that a quarterback was credited with a touchdown by throwing an interception."
If you did not see this final 8 seconds, find it online. Everybody will be talking about this for days and weeks to come. So you don't want to look stupid and be left out.
By the way, the scab referees for this game were instantly whisked carried away on the shouldertops of grateful Seahawk fans. An early Christmas present...if you will. Packer fans not so happy. Those refs will be in the witness protection program by midnight.
So much for the integrity of the Roger Goodell's National Football League.
What a JOKE!!!!
