A stupid statement, of course. But how stupid am I? Well, I'll tell you all...
Was following the game the only way available to me, it not being on TV in Australia, on the NFL Game Center page. I was waiting for a friend to drop in with some video files, including last week's game, which he scarfed off the Usenet. When he arrived, Baldwin had just scored the touchdown to put us ahead 14-10, with 1:40 to play.
As we hadn't seen each other for a while, I did not follow the rest of the game... and yes, I STUPIDLY assumed we'd WON!
Of course I got a terrible shock when he left, 30 minutes or so after the game, when I went back to the Game Center page.
I've watched this wonderful sport for over 30 years - how could I be so stupid as to assume 1:40 left on the clock is "always" going to preserve a four-point lead?
