This is not a recurring column in which I wrap up the previous day's football games. I am actually just hungover. I swear to fuck PBR and fried food seemed like a good idea at the time. Instead I'll just recap my favorite plays that I actually remember watching yesterday.
1. Super Mario Bros 3
Goddamn that game is fun when you're drunk and people are heckling you. I have a feeling this may become a weekly part of my football watching experience.

2. Hakeem Nicks 62 yard touchdown reception*
Elly predictably floats a pass over his receiver's head. Rather than letting it flutter harmlessly to the ground Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie attempted to bat the ball to the ground but instead popped it up in the air. A very alert Nicks adjusted his route, caught the ball, and scampered in to the end zone. High-fives ensued.
(NOTE: for some reason there's no picture of this so here's Elly looking goofy)

3. Adrian Peterson 29 yard catch and run
Sure it was a pretty play highlighted by Peterson absolutely pancaking the defensive back who tried to tackle him at the point of reception, but that's not why it made the list. Peterson tired himself out on this play and had to leave the game replaced by Chester Taylor. Two plays later Taylor lazily waved at a high but catch-able screen pass like a stoned kid trying to catch a butterfly. The ball went straight through his hands into the waiting arms of Keyaron Fox who returned the interception for the game clinching touchdown.

4. LaMarr Woodley 77 fumble recovery returned for a touchdown
What made this play great? Brett Keisel's awesome strip sack of Brett Favre. Not only is strip sack a great name for, well, anything, but old man Favre looked quite old on the play, and sadly his legacy has been reduced to everyone rooting against his waffling old ass.

*NOTE: I actually forgot all about this play until I saw a highlight of it on ESPN this morning. Again, PBR and fried food.
