Throwing motion

The overall euphoria did not last long.
Let me reformulate that.
The overall euphoria did not last long.
Ah, what the hell.

It was second and inches, I was but sure to make the first down. Yet here I was, fourth and 9, and all but forced to punt the ball away.
How frustrating.
Great team effort though.

I am not even sad, or bitter. I'm surprisingly alright. Maybe even better.
I mean, I was disappointed for a moment, but when all is said and done, it allows me to focus on real things.
In the end, induced thought-euthanasia is not that bad an idea.
Let it become another cold case, stored on the shelf between the infamous sentimental suicides and the failed attempts to rekindle things that never were. At least this one is empty enough.

I am just back to the all-too-familiar square one. How come I don't get to earn the 20,000 USD whenever it happens? I would be filthy wealthy by now.

I think that deep inside, I wish I had gotten the first down. But after that, you have to travel another 10 yards, and it's getting harder as the defense is getting more packed and more alert. Mistakes are way more fatal. Defenses are tougher to read when you enter the red zone.
I got benched after the first drive, so I won't blunder the game away. No mishap, no fumble, no bad-decision making. No brutal interception.
I had an okay run, one good play, a questionable scramble, and a dropped pass.
Nobody can really blame me for 3 plays. And with so little playing time, my QB rating can't look too bad.
After all, I've come to grips with the coach's decision.
I'm a backup for life.
In this franchise anyway.

But gosh it has to feel good scoring a touchdown. I've long forgotten what celebrating in the end zone feels like but I think that, secretly,
I'd like to score at least one more time in my life.

So let's cheer to this guys
Until next game.


I tested my arm earlier tonight.
My throwing motion is intact. I am faster than ever it seems.
Well, talk about a bad omen...
