Who knew the onside kick was coming?

Right before the 2nd half kickoff I yelled out "Onside kick right HERE Right NOW! Onside kick right HERE!"
Then it happened.
They all looked at me like I was Nostradamus. Then they all jumped up and hi-fived me saying "you called it man, you called it!".
So, did I KNOW it was coming? No.
Was it a lucky call on my behalf? Absolutely.
But it made sense for 2 reasons. 1) I know Sean Payton is a gambler, and 2) The best way to keep Indy from scoring is to keep it out of Peyton's hands.
Calling the onside kick before it happened will always be an extra special memory for me.

3. Freeny wasn't prepared to go on the field. The Dolts thought they had time to prep him. Oooooops. That is what a dolt gets for trying to think.

I agree with breesfan.

I agree with Saintsfan 1976. You said it much shorter than I did.

All I am saying (and I am an attention whore) I called it before it happened in the chat room, during the halftime show!!

I said at half it would be funny then some friends pointed out the insanity of it. Your right but SP is a nut. All I could do was think about the dallas game a few years back but to be honest I never thought SP was that crazy. Gotta love him he keeps you guessing

It was mentioned in the chat room. It appears that it crossed everybody's mind...just nobody thought he'd actually do it.

I didn't see it coming, but I sure reacted a lot quicker than Hank Basket!
