I feel like an idiot this morning. A big fat idiot. See, I live in New York. I live in Jets country. That means I’m in one of the two markets that broadcast last night’s game somewhere besides NFL Network. In my case, that would be the CW. The home of Gossip Girl.

Of course, I’m an idiot. So I wasn’t aware of the Thursday night game being shown in the markets of the two teams involved. I didn’t have a clue until this morning when I read a passing reference to it on FanHouse. So why didn’t anyone say anything? Is this blog not based out of the New York area? Are most blog readers not New Yorkers? What the hell, man? I missed an overtime game that featured Matt Cassel driving the Patriots down the field with just over a minute to go and scoring on 4th and 1 with a second to go?

Am I that big of an idiot? How did I miss this? Why didn’t anyone tell me? And why in the Hell was the game on the CW? I just can’t believe I was watching the game like this…

When I could have been watching like this…

The lesson, as always, is that I don’t spend enough time online. If I did, I would have figured this out less than 9 hours after the game ended. Fuck.

Your Week 11 Pigsplosive Video of the Week (11)

——————–

Matt Cassel had a pretty blah line last week: 22-34, 234, 0 td, 0 int

I was *this* close to giving him the plainest girl I could think of and then… 31 of 50 last night. 400 yards! Three touchdowns and zero picks! This man deserves the moon – especially since I wasn’t matched up against anyone who was starting him in fantasy. Seriously, that stat line is good enough to break up a marriage. Sorry Berg. Cassel gets Scarlett. Top of the line. Keep it up and Tom Brady will become trade bait.
