Cowboys lose, draw the short straw.- The Chiefs finish the year as the best team NOT to make the playoffs, the only 10-6 team left peeking through the knothole
- The Houston Texans were the only 2-14 team, thus "winning" the Reggie Bush lottery. They somehow managed to blow a lead against the 49ers, in approximately the same way I always used to finish second in the Aztec games in my earlier incarnation. *
- Da Bearz got very lucky. They drew a first round bye with the second seed in the NFC, even though their record was only 11-5
* I was an Aztec Warrior in an earlier life. As you may know, the winners of the annual Aztec Games got their hearts cut out, because only the finest specimens were considered worthy sacrifices to the gods. Although I always won in practice heats, I set the record of finishing second in The Games for 22 consecutive years, consistently disappointing the people who bet on me. One year I blew a 50 yard lead when I pulled up lame near the tape in the 100 yard dash. I told the reporter for the Aztec Times, "I'm disappointed, but I'm just going to have to train harder so I can get my heart cut out next year."
