A Random Play-By-Play Log of Drew Bledsoe's Sunday:

AT THE FOOTBALL GAME
3rd and goal. Bills threatening at the Baltimore 6-yard line. Bledsoe in the pocket. He holds. Holds. Pumps. Holds. Holds. Holds. SACKED!

3rd down Buffalo at the Ravens' 46. Bledsoe drops back. Good protection. Holds. Holds. Holds. Finally throws. INTERCEPTED!

Another big 3rd down for the Bills. Bledsoe drops back. Pressure coming. He holds. Holds. Still holding. Throws. INTERCEPTED!

1st down for the Bills. Bledsoe drops back. Holds. Holds. Holds. Pump fakes. Holds. Holds. Holds. Pumps. Holds. (Commercial break) Bledsoe still holding. Holds. Holds. HIT FROM BEHIND! THE BALL IS LOOSE..... BALTIMORE HAS IT!

1st down Buffalo. Ravens up 2 touchdowns in the 4th quarter. The Bills are still alive in this game. Bledsoe drops back. Holds. Pumps. Throws. INTERCEPTED!

ON THE DRIVE HOME
Bob: Hey, Drew, pull over real quick. I gotta take a piss.
Jon: No, Drew, there's a rest area a mile up. Let's stop there.
Bledsoe in the driver's seat. He pauses. Thinks. Holds. Analyzes. Considers. Holds. Swerves right! Swerves left! Holds. Holds. Holds. CRASH!

LATER, AT HOME
Bledsoe at the dinner table. Sees the green beans. Reaches out, grabs, and he's got them!
Son: Hey, Dad, can you pass the green beans?
Wife: Honey, I'd like some, too.
Bledsoe freezes. He looks left. Looks right. He holds. Holds. Holds. Still holding. There's pressure coming from the outside!
Son: Ummm, Dad? The green beans?
Wife: Honey, will you hurry up, please?
Bledsoe pauses. Panics. Still holding. Holding. Holding. Can't decide who gets the green beans. Under duress! He's stripped! He loses the green beans! The wife has possession!

BEDTIME
Bledsoe lays on his bed. Bledsoe realizes he has to pee. Bledsoe considers his options. Sleep or pee? Sleep or pee? Sleep or pee? He holds. Holds. Holds. Holds. Still holding.......

Memo to Drew Bledsoe: Just make a damn decision. And quick.
