History was made today. For the first time in 32 years and 1,865 tries, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned a kickoff for a touchdown. The futility marked by the Tampa special teams over the past 32 years is absolutely mind boggling. Think of all the things you could do if you had 1,865 tries to do it. In honor of their success today, I offer several other streaks I would love to see come to an end, and several things I would like 1,865 attempts at.
Let’s hope that this also means and end to the almost endless streak of consecutive weeks where evangelical leaders do something horrifically embarrassing in the name of Christ.
How about a shout out to Todd Collins who is starting an NFL game tonight for my beloved Redskins. He is starting for the first time in 10 years and 2 days. I was 21, unmarried, and baby faced the last time he started a game.
Maybe this will mark the end of 483 consecutive weeks where the lead sports story is something involving drugs, cheating, court, crime, death or a team from Boston.
I would like to have 1,865 attempts at throwing an NFL touchdown pass, I know I could do it.
I would like to have 1,865 attempts to raise my kids. I think after about 100 tries, I could do it pretty well.
It will probably take me 1,865 attempts to break 220 on Wii bowling, even though the neighbor kid who is 4 threw that the other day.
Here’s hoping that streak of Bobby Petrino lying, searching for a new job, hiding his job search from his employer, and deceiving his players each year, every year, for almost 20 years, will come to an end now that he is heading to lovely Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Hey, if TB can score on a kickoff return, maybe ten years of hair loss will naturally begin to reverse itself.
If TB can score on a kickoff, Cubs fans should starting buying World Series tickets today.
I would like to have 1,865 chances go back and wrestle that guy in the first round of the state tournament my senior year in high school. 2 points kept me from destiny! I want a rematch, I coulda beena contenda!
Well, there is some randomness for you tonight. Congrats to Tampa and remember, don’t stop believing…..

I’d like 1,865 chances at hitting off of Roger Clemens, without the steroids. At some point, I would at least get a base hit.
I’d like 1,865 chances to go back and tried harder on my ACT. Perhaps I wouldn’t be paying for school and going to school at the same time.
I’d like 1,865 chances to go back and not make some of the mistakes I made in college. Things perhaps might have different.
And … I would like 1,865 chances to be the best son, friend, and student I can be each day. At some point, I would have to do well on each at the same time … at least once.

Okay, those jeans are just creepy tight. Yuck. I am now having flashbacks of ’84 when a wiseass, burnout ran for class prez out of spite and then won…overwhelmingly. Are there still highschools with smoking courts out there? SSHS…Go blue streaks! Images of my senior pic are rolling through my mind…flash dance days and oh, yes…I had a perm at 92lbs…and then enter the days of the tour of sin. You want to talk about chances? Thank you, JESUS!
