362. Wild Card Weekend 2009
I slept through most of the Eagles game. I only saw the first 3 minutes of the first quarter and the last four of the fourth quarter.
I missed Chris Clemons’s awesome block on Tarvaris Jackson (in the 2nd quarter) that let Asante Samuel score a touchdown (after Samuel intercepted Jackson’s pass). I also missed the screen pass to Westbrook that resulted in a 71 yd run for a touchdown. I’d love to add video of these plays to this blog post, but can’t. NFL.com has video for both of these plays, but doesn’t allow for embedding videos. The NFL also doesn’t let YouTube show clips of games, so no embedding from there.
Non-embeddable video makes me sad. But an Eagles win makes me happy, so I guess I feel just right.

361. Stupid Eagles.
Sigh.
