2013 Playoff Blunders: Manning Double-Duty Play Leads To Double-OT: Broncs Lose To Balt Birds.

Denver 35 - Baltimore 38

IMO Bronco's HC John Fox was too conservative during the final minutes/seconds of this all-too important game to not allow Peyton to be Peyton and perhaps throw the ball to avoid o.t. For sure the Denver defensive team screwed up and failed at deep coverage when it counted the most; sloppy play all day long but allowing Flacco and co. that final touchdown was heart-breaking followed by sheer indignation and disbelief. I am making reference of course to Flacco's game-tying touchdown to Jones on third-and-3 from the 30 with 31 seconds left in regulation and no timeouts. Did the Broncs forget 'Football 101' which dictates that however deep the receivers are you as the defense make certain your cover-man is deeper. Don't get me wrong...Manning did his share of screwing up their chances of advancing (hosting three turnovers) to the AFC title game and perhaps reaching the Super Bowl (XLVII) but enough finger-pointing and accountability goes round this ball club starting from whomever agreed that Manning would not get one or two finals shots towards the end-zone in regulation. Was Manning hurt or what? Only that excuse would suffice in the decision for Denver to take a knee and try for a win in o.t. Stupid!

MAGIC MIKE: #GolicThong: GOLIC OF ESPN'S "MIKE AND MIKE" LOSES BET AS TIDE BEAT IRISH 42-14!

ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE BEATS NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH 42-14

(READ MORE HERE:)

Mike Golic of ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning

loses bet to co-host Mike Greenberg (a.k.a. "Greeny"):

must wear thong (#GolicThong).

Golic is ND alumni so naturally he was insistent of an Irish victory
as any fan/alumnus would be or should be.
Despite the majority of the naysayers that the Irish would lose and most likely
get slaughtered by Nick Saban's team,

Golic made a friendly 'on-the-air-wager' that he would wear a thong if the

Irish indeed lost to the Tide.

' Guess we shall see - but in the meantime, please enjoy (or not)

my caricature rendition of what Golic might look like in such a thong!
*** All in loving fun, Golic, loving fun! ***
