Article Image for: Super Bowl 42 What a play. Forth quarter, Manning breaks free from what should have been a definite sack and makes the pass to his receiver down field who catches the ball in the middle of getting hit and holds the ball on his helmet to make the play...

Is there any doubt that it was the play of the game.

An amazing game, an amazing play, an amazing Super Bowl, at least in the last quarter.

But I lost a dollar on the game. How? Easy, the rules. My Dad and I bet a buck a game every game in the World Series and a buck a quarter in the Super Bowl plus a buck for the game win. He won the first three quarters with a unchanged score of NY-3 to NE-7. Forth quarter comes around and New York comes back to win the forth quarter and of course, the game.

So why is this under politics you might ask? Because it is the same thing that applies to the 2000 election of George W. Bush. It was and still is the way the rules apply. The popular vote is great and fine, but under the RULES it is the electoral college that makes the determination.

I won the bet on the game, but I still the winner of the bet overall.

I'm paying my buck because I accepted and agreed to the rules before hand. I really wish the left, 7 years after his election would realize that you can't change the rules in the forth quarter or eighth, or bitch about the results that are in the past. What you can do is change the rules in the future is you don't like them.

But what would I know; I'm just an Average American.
