Good Point, Vol. 3

Poetry by Oliver Cassidy

The one game thing
In football.

Don't like it.

Just one game deciding everything.

Never liked it.

You've got the Vikings
Who were eight and eight
And the Rams
Who were eight and eight
Advancing
While the Packers
Who were ten and six
And the Seahawks
Who were nine and seven
Are done.
Finished.
Kaput.

I don't like it.

Not long ago
You saw the Dolphins
(One of the worst teams in football)
Beat the Patriots
(One of the best teams in football).

It was just one game, though.
Not a big deal.
Doesn't mean anything.
Because any team
Can beat any other team
On any given day.

Any team can overachieve for one game.

One game.

Unfair.

Baseball, basketball, hockey:
Four out of seven.

Tennis:
Two of three sets or three of five.

Golf:
Eighteen Holes.

Football:
One game.

You can take the worst team in football
(The 49ers)
And put them in the Super Bowl
And they might win.



The one game thing
In football.

Hate it!
