Two For The Money Page #12

Right now. Let's go let's go.

They come from New York

and Kansas City in this match-up.

The opening kickoff is coming up next.

We are under way in Super Forty. It's

a high end-over-ender. Down the middle.

Jackson gets it, a short one for the 15,

tries to angle over to the right side,

stripped away from...

- Kansas City comes up with it.

- Ah man.

Harris getting to the outside, turns,

clear path. Boy, does he have blocking.

- Touchdown, Kansas City.

- Sh*t.

- Sets out for the pocket. Simpson.

- He's open.

Guns one over the middle, Simpson

on the completion. It's second and 15.

- Setting up, he's got time again.

- Go go.

Looks down field

and the slam intercepted.

- What the f*** is that?

- Dawkins finds a wave of blockers.

Over to the near side, he's going to go

the distance. Touchdown, Kansas City.

New York's got it now

for the third time in the game.

Back to throw once again,

pocket collapses and down it goes.

Oh man. You better hold on

to that coin you flipped

because this game keeps up like this

I'm gonna have to borrow it.

Well it's not over yet Walter.

I wouldn't change my bet. Hm?

And second and long,

second and about a dozen.

Can they get something started?

What are they counting on today?

Do they have to get away

from the balanced attack

we've seen all season?

Will they lose the ground game now?

Will they go over to the pass?

Well, there is no way they'll be able

to run when they're 14 points down.

Handoff goes to the second man through.

It's Jones, fullback, off the right side.

He's got room, downfield he goes.

Will anybody catch him?

Deep into the secondary now.

Touchdown, New York.

Extra point makes it 14-7, Kansas City.

Kansas scores on the eight-play

drive, capped with Rogers's 32-yard run.

And that's the end of the third quarter.

It's Kansas City, 21, New York, ten.

Back to throw once again.

Post available...

- Let's go!

... beats the safety down the right side.

He's in!

All right!

It's Kansas City, 21, New York, 17. What

a final four minutes we're going to have.

- Where's Brandon?

- I don't know.

Where's Brandon?

We're back in it babe!

New York touchdown

and we win both bets!

Hey!

- Hey Brandon?

- I believe this'll be their final possession.

Can they do it? Can they get it done

like they have all year long?

They're trailing by four. Don't forget,

the new rule doesn't apply here.

They've gotta get into the end zone.

- He left.

- I know.

You didn't tell me?

How about that?

No goodbye no... no nothing.

- I'm sure it's all there in the letter.

- I'm sure it is.

I wonder what's not in here.

What do you mean?

- What do you mean what do I mean?

- He had enough. He wanted his life back.

He said that to you?

Well loud and clear by leaving.

- I think it was something else.

- Yeah? Tell me.

You know.

No.

You have no idea?

- You're missing the game Walter.

- Oh no. This is the game.

On first down,

the handoff is to Jones.

He's on the right side.

He's got a blocker. And a first down.

- But he's dropped inbounds.

- Nice.

I guess Brandon was homesick.

I don't know.

Or maybe he had

such deep feelings for me

that he couldn't face saying goodbye.

Wait a minute.

I just got an idea. Just came to me.

I mean out of the blue.

What about this?

Brandon didn't tell me

he was gonna leave because...

you let him f*** you.

Back to pass, rolls under the left side.

Guns it over the middle, it's complete.

Edwards has it, all the way

down to the 44, Kansas City.

Oh God.

- You deny it?

- Oh my God.

Do I have to Walter?

You know you did.

Oh you...

Another lock of the year?

I saw you Toni.

I saw you and him that night.

I never went to Vegas.

You mean you lied to me about the trip.

Oh don't talk to me about lying.

- I guess you had the whole thing set up.

- Oh don't make this about me.

- Just put me out there on a tray?

- I put a tray out there.

You didn't have to shove a f***ing apple

in your mouth and sit on it!

He's looking for his hot receiver.

Edwards, again, got it! Kansas City, 23.

Admit it!

You played me Walter.

You're f***ing-A I did.

It worked. Didn't it?

With eight seconds left, New York

has to spend their final time-out.

Brandon was right.

- But you don't deny it?

- It's the best pick he ever made.

I don't know what that means.

Deep drop sets up in the pocket. Fires

over the middle. Batted down at the line!

So after everything,

it all comes down to one final play.

You were gambling with me that night Walter.

With me!

Brandon knew it

because he knew you.

He told me he was sure

you were watching somehow.

So he asked me in to spend the night

and put on a little show for you Walter.

But I didn't believe him Walter.

Oh God I didn't believe him.

I mean after all we've been through.

So I figured you know "What the hell?"

He slipped out the back no big deal.

He never even stayed here.

And you.

You were in such a good mood

the next day.

I figured "Thank God

because he must've been wrong. "

"Otherwise why wouldn't he confront us

confront me?"

Oh Walter.

So it all boils down to this.

Can New York find the end zone?

This is what players dream of.

The chance to win it on the final snap.

You wanted to lose! Like I was something

you could just toss on the table!

Only we booked your bet Walter

Brandon and me

who evidently love you

more than you love yourself.

Spreads the defense.

Drops back to throw.

Here comes the pressure.

He bounces to the right side.

Your fantasy is to end up alone

with nothing!

I won't let that happen.

Understand?

I will never let that happen to you.

This is it.

He's on the run,

picks up a big block downfield.

This is real Walter.

You and me and Julia we're all that's real.

One man to beat.

This is it Walter.

He goes airborne from the five.

- Does he get in?

- He's in! He's in!

Touchdown, New York!

Apaches win this game a-whoosh!

Giants with me! Over here with me!

This side this side

this side right in front of me right here.

Take a knee take a knee take a knee.

We got a tough team we're playing today

y'all know that. Toughest on our schedule.

Now most important thing

we're gonna do today is have fun.

I mean have some serious fun.

We're gonna play loose and enjoy ourselves.

We're gonna play

this wonderful game of football.

- Do we wanna win?

- Yeah!

- What are we gonna do play?

- Play!

- Huh?

- Play!

Ah let's go do it!

What's going on chief?

Coach do you really think

we can win today?

Ho!

I'd bet on it.

Standing on the top of the edge

It feels like it's going down

Everything stays in my mind

Feeling in a daze on the ground

Feels like it's gonna give

Life's too hard to live anymore

I think I've had enough

Things too tough

I'm out the door

All in all it'sjust another day

Now you're falling down

what you gonna do?

Standing on top of the world tonight

No one's looking back at you

Stand tall, it's going on, it's going on
