Did anything go the way you wanted it to? Most of the NFL playoff

2 went the way I really didn't want them to, 1 went the way I wanted
it to, and the remaining 1 I didn't care too much about -- but I did
care about that winning team being defeated at the next level.
You know what bugged me the most? The games were lousy, boring, sleep
inducing crap. Didn't the playoffs used to be the most exciting games
of the year?
Then there was the officiating.
The officiating was the most annoying thing.
Then again, I'm used to being annoyed at the officiating in the
playoffs. I won't go into it right now, because it's not a good idea
for me to raise my blood pressure this soon before I ought to go to bed. :)
IMO, if we just had a bunch of Ed Hochuli clones, we'd be in better
shape there. (Yes, I have a crush on an NFL ref. I think that
particular one is more justifiable than the one on Nicholas Cage, which
I've been seriously trying to get over since I found out what he named
his son.)
I prefer nail-biter games. Like the last 2 Rose Bowls. Or those games
when Adam Vinatieri wins the game in the last minute. Those are good
games. Blowouts are boring. (Unless you're actually in the stands and
the drunk people around you are happy drunks and it's the home team
that's winning. Not that that's happened to me more than twice.)
