I do not think the ball was over either. I think it should have been the Cards ball on the 1/2 yard line from where I think they score 90% of the time. Certainly no fumble.
I went to one of my favorite places to watch games up here in NorCal this weekend, but it's a notorious Rams/Raiders place. Classic bar, though, been around for over 30 years and always shows every game on their many TV's. Best part is, cheap (and good) food and drinks. The owner just replaced his old TV's with 11 40-something inch HDTV's and new HDTV receivers. 8 of the 9 early games were in HD, which rocked.
I rolled in a little late (game tied 3-3) and spotted a friend, sat down. Just happened to be right behind a table of 3 Rams fans, one wearing an old school Dickerson jersey.
As usual, I was polite. I clapped and reacted accordingly when the Cards would make a play, and Dickerson noticed that the enemy was in his midst. He had been quiet and cool up to that point, but started getting vocal and was clearly trying to annoy me. OK, time to turn into a-hole mode.
I made every effort to piss this guy off once he started it. Yapping about their lousy players, how far they had fallen since their "Greatest Show on Turf" era, made endless fun of Gus Frerotte, did the old "slow clap" very loudly on every positive Cards play, etc. It was a joy. I was absolutely incessant, which isn't my style.
Then the Rams boys get a little hope with the late TD. I yell at them, "Larry Fitzgerald's going to recover the onside, no use in trying!". And you know the rest.
I walked out clapping, mocking, just a great time, really. Although I wished the Cards could have beat the Rams more decisively, this was pretty fun.
