My team was down by 3 touchdowns early on in the game. It seemed like the game had just started and we were getting waxed. We were losing the battle on the field and were losing the support of the fans. We were hearing boos from the home team crowd we thought would support us. Instead of cheers for any play we made that was remotely positive we heard jeers. However, in the locker room at half time we gathered ourselves. We altered our game plan, made some position changes, and rededicated ourselves to getting back into this game and turning an embarrassing loss into a win. We were playing harder than we had ever played. This was the game of our lives. We started to win back the support of our fans. We cut into the lead. We made plays, forced turnovers, gained ground, and put the ball in the end zone. We tied the game in the 4th quarter with a big touchdown run. Our defense turned forced a turn over and we were driving for the winning score. We were in the red zone in a tied game and were looking like were were going in for the winning score. Then the call came from the sideline. "Punt the ball away" What? Punt the ball away? We are in the red zone. We are getting ready to score, if we are going to kick the ball, let's kick a field goal and win the game. "Nope, the next play will be a punt".
We punted, and we ended up losing the game, snatching defeat when victory was in our hands.
Does this sound like the dumbest thing you have ever read? Listen to Hilliary and Obama's plans for the war in Iraq and explain the difference to me, because their plan for Iraq is the dumbest thing I have ever heard...and their tax and trade policies set a pretty high bar for the dumbest things I have ever heard, but this one takes the cake.
