The Riley Factor #28

The Riley Factor

Fort Plain, NY, January 11 -- A beautiful morning greeted Riley to start his work week, with warmer temperatures and snow showers expected throughout the day.  Riley slept-in until 7:30AM on Monday, and then took a brief walk around the back yard.  Then, Susan cuddled with Riley in the rocking chair next to the fire -- a true Norman Rockwell moment.

Yesterday, after spending the afternoon in the greenhouse with Susan, in balmy 65 degree temps, Riley settled-in to watch the Packers/Cardinals NFL Playoff game.  In summary ...

Ode to the NFL's Smallest Market Team
The vaunted young team from Green Bay
Went out to the desert that day.
When the teams had both met
And the footballs were let
The defenses had forgotten to play.

The Packers, they scored 45.
The Cardinals remained still alive.
With the overtime ready,
And both offenses steady,
Arizona stood tall and survived.

The coin, it was tossed, and was tails.
Green Bay's offense was riding on rails.
The ball, it was snapped.
Rodgers face, it was zapped.
And Cardinals danced like a bunch of females.

A Final Thought >>> It is never good when the game is over and the team you were playing against has thrown more touchdown passes than incomplete passes.
