We all have that one friend - that one obnoxious mofo who quotes stats in the form of insults and contentiously trolls haters on Twitter who throw shade at their precious team. We’re friends with him, but we seriously hate that guy to his very core and silently wish swamp flesh eating parasites get a hold of his nether-region. Well, on Sunday night, the New York Giants decided to award that nuisance by giving him even more ammo to shoot you in the eye with.
Now, I’m not saying that guy is ALWAYS a Cowboys fan, but…
With seven seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, and go-to fall guy, Tony Romo, threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to his favorite tight end, Jason Witten, in order to push past the Giants 27-26. Minutes before as they grasped onto their 23-20 lead, Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw the ball away on third down from the Dallas 1 instead of taking the sack that would have ripped away 40 seconds off the clock. Just as maddening is the report that Eli told Rashad Jennings not to score on the previous two downs. Instead, it forced Josh Brown to kick his fourth field goal of the game, pushing the score to 26-23 with 1:34 left on the clock.
Apparently, that’s all Romo needed.
“It was bad clock management,” the lesser Manning brother muttered. “It was definitely an option to take a sack and run 40 seconds off the clock and give them less time. That’s 100 percent on me.”
Thanks Eli, for allowing that one cockeyed stats spewing wank-tard to continue his lip for the next week. That’s 100 percent on you, buddy.
