Weathersfield News Feb 4 #WeathersfieldVT #VT
February 4, 2015
After the Seattle Seahawks made this impossible catch, they
knew they had back to back Super Bowls in their talons. But for some reason, a
reason that folks will be Monday Morning Quarterbacking for years to come,
Coach Pete Carroll decides that on the one yard line, his quarterback, Russell
Wilson will attempt a pass to score the winning touchdown. Mind you, Marshawn Lynch-one of the leagues best
running backs is in the game. But a pass play was called in after timeouts by
each team. The pass is intercepted by a rookie free agent out of West Alabama , Malcolm Butler and the New England Patriots
win by four points. Folks in New England who
went to bed early missed one of the most exciting games I've ever watched. Line
up the duckboats.
My prediction Sunday morning. |
