Can't help myself

It's a football game between two teams not from Kentucky or Philadelphia or anywhere I've spent more than a day in, but I've gotta mention the play that just happened in the Broncos-Patriots game.

Broncos 10-6, Patriots inside the red zone and looking really polished. Tom Brady throws into the end zone, not even really a horrible pass, but Champ Bailey makes a very nice interception and takes off in the other direction, down the sideline. He wriggles free from a running back's tackle at midfield and is staggering toward end zone glory when Patriots tight end Ben Watson introduces himself, leveling Bailey at the 2 yard line and popping the ball out. Officials said the ball went out of bounds at the 1, leaving Denver with possession, but it looked every bit as likely that the ball actually went out of the end zone, which would have given the Patriots possession at their 20 and left Denver pointless.

Anyway, Belichick challenged, the call stood and Denver punched it in on the next play, but Watson's effort was unbelievable. Try and watch video of this play somewhere if you can, it's so impressive for a tight end to chase down somebody as fleet as Bailey over 100 yards, and it's all the more impressive that after running 100 yards he composed himself enough to separate Bailey from the ball, two yards from the end zone.

Anyway. Watch it.
