I Won't Quit My Day Job

So now you know why I'm not a betting man. Of the eight wagers that I prognosticated in my post from Saturday, I only got two of them right. Thanks to David Givens, I made good on the uniform jersey wager, as that was one of the easier lines. I was also correct in surmising that T.O would have a productive game, but not even I thought that he'd be that good. It was a Schilling-like performance, but as I wrote last week, one man alone cannot win you a Super Bowl.

As for the ones that I got wrong, I'm most surprised about the sack total. McNabb was sacked four times and Brady two- these quarterbacks did not have their running game on. McNabb in particular- what were the Philly coaches thinking not calling a few draw plays and naked bootlegs?

The one wager that I'm not sure on was the length of the national anthem. I tried and tried to find it online, but I guess we'll never know whether the anthem actually clocked in at under 1:53. It sounded like a relatively straightforward, concise rendition to me. But let's just call it push and we can call it a night.
