Like over a 100,000,000 other people in the US, I watched the SuperBowl last night. Really great game. Both offenses were awesome. But the game was really won in the trenches. Both quarterbacks had a tremendous amount of time to retreat, focus downfield, move left or right, feel the pressure coming, and make a decision right at the last minute to dump off a pass because the downfield receivers were covered. Yet, over and over the quarterbacks had 4,5,6 seconds of protection from those fast, massively strong linemen. Pushing, pulling, twisting, and battling for advantages over and over during those repeated 5-6 seconds of protecting/attacking the quarterback.
Well, I can promise you that after this game, these guys were sore. Their muscles ached liked nothing they have ever felt before. All they wanted to do was go to the locker room and take a long hot sauna, or get a massage, or repeat their pre-game stretching routine. Yea, right! For the Saints it was a time to celebrate and join in spirit fans and supporters from New Orleans who have braved so much in the past 5 years.
OK, enough football to draw you in. Now it's time for WHEE. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME STRETCHING!
