"By words we learn thoughts, and by thoughts we learn life."

So, that's what I'm doing. Hi...my name is Keenan. Welcome to my thoughts! I found out recently that I am slowing, but surely losing my memory. Don't ask me how, or where, or why, just know that it involves a really long line and pregnant Mexican women pushing a stroller. Anyways, this brings us to here. I wanted to share my thoughts and ideas with the world. I welcome all who want to read, thank you, and hola. So with that....

Maurice Jones-Drew
So this weekend we saw an odd occurrence in the NFL: on a fourth-quarter drive while trailing by one point, Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew rushed up the middle toward his team's end zone. Strangely the star running back truncated his run by taking a knee a couple of feet away from the goal line. With time running down and wanting to avoid the possibility of a Jets comeback, the Jaguars coaching staff had instructed Jones-Drew, though trailing the Jets, to run all but a few seconds off the clock allowing them to kick a field goal as time expired.
After all was said and done, Josh Scobee ran out the clock on a chip-shot field goal and the Jaguars won the contest by two points. However the second-guessing had just begun. Within minutes of minting their fifth victory Sunday, Jags head coach Jack Del Rio was the subject of sportcasters' scrutiny and fantasy owners' ire.
Allow me to speak from experience. It just so happens Maurice Jones-Drew is owned by the league-leading Hate City Rockers. It just so happens that my team, Rhymes... Wut Rhymes?, played the Rockers this weekend and came out on the winning side of a 94-87 decision. So did the kneeldown have an impact? Merely mentally, I imagine. Had MJD scored he would have had six points more leading into Ray Rice's performance on Monday Night Football (Rice ended up with 17 points, 7 less than he needed to best me).
Ultimately the Rockers came up seven points short so the point is moot as it concerns my match, but I am sure that there are others out there who were affected by the kneeldown. Were you affected adversely? Positively? Do you agree with the decision?
Share your kneeldown story with us here and we will continue this discussion in the near future...
