Sunday night around 21:15 I sit on the couch, remote control one hand, beer in the other fresh. On ESPN against the Minnesota Vikings are in Chicago with six minutes remaining and need to recover. I spend a moment on Sky1, thinking I do not remember what the postponement of series A 'I confess, a moment of morbid curiosity. Here it is: Inter-Milan 0-1, have scored just before, framed Gattuso lying on the ground waving. I'll be back on ESPN. Part of the Vikings drive, Favre tries to recover and start to put a spin after another. Peterson runs and receives, takes a few hits hard but gets up running to lose no time. Minnesota mill area and get a few yards from the Bears.
Tour on Sky1 during a time-out. Inter-Milan 0-1 always, Ibrahimovic gestures towards the referee.
ESPN: twist, the Vikings goes wrong and the ball back to Chicago. Minnesota's defense, however, the miracle, Jay Cutler takes crushed on his goal line, forcing the Bears to punt from inside the end-zone, but he can not get a breath away. Less than three minutes at the end, there is still plenty of time to recover if it is tempting to Brett Favre.
Sky1: Inter-Milan 0-1, before pulling someone breaks out a punishment, no one takes the ball on the bottom. A commentator explains excitedly praised the Inter goalkeeper has not done anything yet and we're near the end of the first half.
ESPN: no one does anything for more than 40 seconds, this is football. Favre starts to run while taking some risk, time out of two minutes the Vikings are once again close, but at the climax of a Bears cornerback pulls in the right place at the right time, intercepting the ball. Chicago can keep him for the last eighty seconds (it must mean in football a couple of real actions) and wins.
Sky1: in eighty seconds I can enjoy a distinctly Ibrahimovic sputazza the ground a few times, close tight, enthusiasm of the reporter.
ESPN: the direct additional changes to the game between Jets and Browns: it's over and you go 20-20 in overtime (who will score first wins). The defenses held, then drive right and Cleveland Gill arrives almost at a distance from field-goal when something goes wrong: the launch of McCoy, fumble of the receiver, New York recovered the ball. Just a few minutes and it seems an incredible balance (equal to the last in the NFL dates back to 2008, the last time the Jets have drawn is 1988, for the Browns is instead of 1989). New York manages to get in field-goal distance, but the ball is far away, almost 50 yards, and football goes out. Cleveland wakes up again but the Jets defense, which held. Sanchez back on the field again and New York advancing. Then on a seemingly harmless receiving close to 20 a Browns defender misses the tackle, and Santonio Holmes jumps in end-zone: NY won 26-20 away to a few seconds from time.
Sky1: Inter-Milan 0-1 always, they are all still and chat. Ah, the range is (I understand why no one is insulting the referee).
ESPN: The link goes to New York where the Giants host Dallas, which last week suffered a real massacre in Green Bay (45-7). Bryant, who was left unconscious on a stretcher against the Packers because they suffered a tough tackle, is in the field, and it shows: When the connection part of the Giants, favored, are up 3-0 and in the field there is an attack Cowboys, with the "old" Joe Kitne instead of Romo. It does not seem to Dallas last week: Maybe there's wanted revenge, but all give 110%, especially Bryant who is elusive and can to mark the end catching a ball with a spectacular dive. The coach challenges the touchdown NY, the officials review the action and instead confirm. Dallas also manages to miss something as trivial as the transformation from a point, we're 6-3 in the first quarter.
Sky1: Inter Milan still 0-1, Eto'o sitting on the ground is messed up nose. You will probably start the second half.
ESPN: Manning pushes and shoves her out a couple of runs for spectacular Manningham, the Giants are first in their division and want to stay, but the Dallas defense is unrecognizable and stop everything that moves. With much effort (and not a few threats) Manning comes close to the area of \u200b\u200bthe Cowboys, try a launch in end-zone on the left but the receiver runs the wrong track: McCann catches, snaps on the other side, and marks ran for 101 yards (a record of all time for the Texans).
Sky1: Inter-Milan 0-1. In a couple of minutes watching a replacement.
ESPN: NY in a couple of minutes again on offense, playing four measures but is stopped and the ball back to Dallas. The Giants defense is no joke and James hits hard every time I try to run a station, but tonight Kitne looks like a boy (for more of the good ones), with a throw after another, and at half-time Dallas is ahead 19-3.
Sky1: Inter Milan ended 0-1.
probably we were a few thousand to cool beer and enjoy the evening on ESPN, while millions of people have done nothing in anesthetized by monovision. Well, few but good. And we're sorry for the others ...
Epilogue. Last night I
the phone rings, is responsible for the marketing of Sky asking me if I'm just me, and it is really me, shocked me says it all: "We have seen that she does not have the football package active! If you want to activate him 29 euro per month. "
