Attempt #1 into the coveted "Mailbag"

Bill Simmons is a sports writing genius. Whatever he writes is epic. He writes for ESPN and has a Mailbag that fans can write to him and he give his hilarious responses to. So my buddies had an idea to see which one of us could be included in this select group of readers. Here is my first attempt to make the bag...

Best play call of the year: Week 14 Saints up 26-23 on Atlanta. 4th down and Saints line up for a chip shot field goal. Instead, they run a fake and have 64 year old Mark Brunell roll out and look for G Carl Nicks in the end zone. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing watching Brunell roll out like he was back in his Jacksonville days and seeing Nicks wave his arms in anticipation of the pass. Instead the pass was incomplete and the next shot you see is Brunell slamming a cup of Gatorade like he just completed the Iron Man. Classic. Are the Saints that good where there toying with the rest of the league? I know they dismantled your Pats on MNF and they get a bye against Dallas, but c’mon!
