Psh, consider yourself lucky you weren't able to watch this god-awful game.

I was thinking about watching it, but decided to take a nap instead, when I woke up we were down 25, good thing I made the right choice.

What an ugly game. I watched the first quarter, wasn't able to watch the rest of the game. Looks like I saved myself a lot of misery.
