Titolo: [NFL] Tuck Bowl II (lungo ma divertente)

So here's how it will go when you watch the Patriots and the Raiders in Tuck 
Bowl II on ESPN Sunday night:
Mike Patrick: ''Well, here we are in Baghdad by the Bay, folks, and things 
are not going well for the defending Super Bowl champion New England 
Patriots. They're trailing, 16-0, with a minute to play and this time it 
looks like the Raiders will finally prevail. The Raiders have a first and 
goal on the New England 1 and look ready to go in again. Rich Gannon's over 
center. He hands off to Tyrone Wheatley and Wheatley breaks into the end 
zone for a touchdown! That makes it 22-0, Oakland. That should do it.''
Joe Theismann: ''Wait, Mike, officials Bob McElwee and Walt Coleman have 
their heads together and are calling upstairs for replay.''
Paul Maguire: ''I can't imagine what this is about, but I'm sure it will go 
in favor of the Patriots. Here comes the verdict.''
Coleman: ''After reviewing the play, there is no touchdown. The replay shows 
that Al Davis was in the Oakland huddle. The Patriots are awarded the ball 
at the Oakland 1-yard line. First down.''
Patrick: ''There it is, folks. The rarely invoked `tuck-it-to-Al' rule. So 
now the Patriots line up at the Raider 1. Brady takes the snap ... and drops 
it! The Raiders recover!''
Theismann: ''Wait, Mike. Coleman and McElwee are talking again. Now 
McElwee's under the curtain, reviewing the play.''
McElwee: ''After reviewing the play, we discovered there was a mild 
earthquake at the time of the snap. There is no play. Patriot ball. First 
down.''
Maguire: ''He's right, Joe. Everyone is supposed to duck for cover during an 
earthquake. It's the `duck rule.' They made the right call again.''
Patrick: ''Brady scores on a quarterback sneak! Now they're going for 2 and 
Antowain Smith crashes into the end zone to make it a 16-8 game with 30 
seconds to play. The Patriots are still alive! There's also a flag on the 
play and Charles Woodson has been called for roughing the passer on the 
touchdown play. Apparently, he tried to stop Brady from crossing the goal 
line. The penalty will be assessed on the kickoff. They've also added a few 
seconds to the game clock because Johnnie Cochran is here and demanded more 
time for the Patriots. It takes a lot of courage to make that call. That's 
why we call it the `pluck rule.'''
Patrick: ''Adam Vinatieri's short kick is fumbled by Tim Brown! The ball 
scoots between his legs, but he's able to recover. Wait. Coleman and McElwee 
have their heads together. Now Coleman is going behind the curtain again.
Coleman: ''After reviewing the play, it was determined that the receiver of 
the kick recovered the ball after it bounced between his legs. The receiver 
was an ineligible player at that time. The ball is awarded to the Patriots. 
First down, New England.''
Maguire: ''He's right. That rule was put in after Bill Buckner lost the 
World Series for the Red Sox. It's the rarely called `Buck rule.'''
Theismann: ''I wish I had all this stuff going for me when I played. But the 
Patriots have the ball and another chance to tie this football game. And 
McElwee has added more time to the clock, citing the `chuck rule,' the `muck 
rule' and the `puck rule.' It's all good for the Patriots. There's Billy 
Beane applauding from a luxury box.''
Patrick: ''Brady drops back to pass, seven seconds on the clock. He throws 
down the right sideline and it's complete to David Patten. Patten runs down 
the right sideline and is hit by Woodson. Patten appears to be unconscious, 
but he's lying on the ground in the end zone and the football is caught in 
his facemask. Officials are signaling touchdown. This is certain to be 
reviewed and there is no time left on the clock.''
(ESPN shows the upstairs replay official communicating with the crew on the 
field. A man who looks remarkably like Jonathan Kraft peers over the 
shoulder of the upstairs official.)
Coleman: ''After reviewing the play, it is a touchdown. Patten is out cold, 
but the ball is stuck in his facemask and that is possession.''
Maguire: ''It's the `truck rule,' as in, `Did you get the plate number of 
the truck that just hit me?' Ha ha ha.''
Patrick: ''New England goes for 2 and fullback Marc Edwards scores easily to 
tie the game. Incredibly, we're going back to overtime. Here come the 
captains for the coin toss.''
Coleman: ''You know the drill, boys. Heads, New England wins; tails, Oakland 
loses. New England, make the call.''
(Flips coin in air.)
Coleman: ''New England has won the toss. And we will play this game until 
New England wins - even if it means Lobel's `Sports Final' goes until 2 a.m. 
back in Boston.''
Patrick: ''The Raiders try an onside kick - they know they're never going to 
get the football anyway. Tebucky Jones scoops it up and runs to the Oakland 
20. He steps out of bounds a couple of times, but Coleman and McElwee don't 
even notice. Now here comes Adam Vinatieri out for the winning field goal 
attempt. He lines it up from the 37, kicks, and ... it's good! Patriots win! 
Patriots win!''
(Lonie Paxton does imaginary snow angels in the end zone as Hell's Angels 
come out of the stands and begin to pummel the long snapper. ESPN rolls 
credits over the victory scene and the audience hears a cut from Hootie and 
the Blowfish: ''I can't help it if I'm lucky ...'')
