Well at least there were no commercials immediately prior to the 
*actual* last play of the game. It would be *really* annoying to find 
out later, exactly what had happened on that play and then find that 
myth had chopped it as if it were a commercial. (And that is why I have 
commercial marked but not deleted!)

Rogers to Rogers... 62 yards in the air!  Hell, most punts don't travel 
that far! AMazing ending. And I picked GB to win too!
