I fell asleep with last night's game well in hand with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. My bucs had a 35-14 lead. This morning, I hear they lost! In OT!
How is this even possible?
My awful sports year continues.

What happened? The Football Gods decided to punish the Bucs for firing Tony Dungy. He returns to Tampa on his birthday, and Lisa Guerrero was wearing Bucs colors, so how could they let him lose?
More specifically, they smote the impious Tampa Bay Buccaneers via injuries. The starting corner for the Bucs (not Tiki's brother, but the other guy) was hurt, and in the second half, Peyton and Marvin beat the poor rookie who stepped in like he was a gong in a kung fu movie. Meanwhile, on offense, Alstott and Pittman (who was having a great game) were hurt, so the home team couldn't run effectively to chew up the clock.
It was truly an amazing display -- other than Frank Reich's playoff miracle of a few years ago, it was the most exciting comeback I have ever seen in a football game. NFL Films will have a blast doing the show on this one.
