It was another bland football weekend. The top ranked CFB teams were off. The NFL slate was pretty dull, with few good matchups and fewer exciting games. Who will rescue us from the midseasons blahs?
Why, none other than FOOTBALL CAT! Yes, Football Cat, with feline speed and agility, with pelt of black, making an otherwise dreary game memorable. Thank you, Football Cat, wherever you are.
And sorry, Giants fans. Either this black cat was bad luck only for you (and me), or even Football Cat couldn’t overcome the odds. For as Branch Rickey once said, “luck is the residue of design.” And boy, are the Giants designed badly.
