Today, I was glued to my chair (er....bed) watching football. Actually, I had the Bills/Colts game on. But my eyes were layed to the bottom of the screen. I was always awaiting the score of the San Diego Chargers/Cincinatti Bengals game. Sure, I look at the bottom a lot, but this was for, reasons at school.
Last year, we had a football project, a scrapbook. I got the Chargers, and in November, during the monthly class seating changeup, I took seat in front of the bragger of the class: I shall not mention his name.
He got the Bengals, and he loved to rant about his Bengals were better than my San Diego Chargers. He also said about how if the two teams met, the Bengals would own them, and how Chad Johnson would own LaDanian Tomlinson. Anyway, the only time I got respect from him was when the Chargers beat the Colts (on the day of my B-day party, how memorable that was) to end the Colts bid for a 16-0 season (the Colts were 13-0 at that point).
Well, so came today, and how excited I was. I was already preparing my bragging speech to him on Monday (he is in my English and Geography classes). But when I saw that the score was 21-0 for the Bengals in the first quarter, I thought I'd just shut up tommorow. By halftime, it didn't look much better, as it was 28-7.
But then something changed in the second half. The Bengals rejuvinated their 2003 season (they went 2-14) when they let the Chargers come back. I was extremely excited when I saw that the score at the beginning of the forth quarter was a mere 38-35 for the Bengals. And then the Chargers scored a TD for a 42-38 lead. Then Shayne Graham scored a field goal for the Bengals to make it 42-41. How tense that was. Then, the Chargers scored another TD to make it 49-41!!! Then the Bengals pulled a tense last minute drive, that ended with a turnover on downs with seconds left. Then the clock ran out, and the Chargers managed to win 49-41:D.
How excited I am for tomorrow.......................
