9/17/2018 2 Comments Composing a Present SceneFor this weeks blog. I am creating a scene about a moment in my life. My scene is about me watching the Saints game against the Browns. It was a very good game overall but watching the games in public or anywhere else but my bedroom is very difficult because i have to listen to everybody criticize every play about my team and its annoying. Have fun reading my scene everyone !!!
This weekend was very interesting for me.The New Orlean Saints are playing the Cleveland Browns in 20 minutes @1 pm Eastern Time. If you haven’t noticed i’m the biggest Saints fan ever. I defend my team in every and anyway possible. So before the game starts i do my pre game rituals. I watch the “I believe that we will win” video from the 2014 Fifa World Cup . So when the game started my uncle walked in and said “Yall ready to lose“. I didn’t expect him to come because if I had known i would’ve brung my headphones. He’s a trash talker and a good one at that. He’ll get inside your head and make you wanna punch him.” That’s what i’m talking about baby “ my uncle yelled. I knew this was the beginning of a long game. The reason he said that is because the elite #13 Michael Thomas tried to reach for the first down (which he already got) and the ball slipped out of his hands and it was a ball just rolling towards the sideline until the browns corner came and scooped it. They score 3 points after the turnover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leRrF20YiD. Then we scored a field goal 1 offensive drive later. This was probably the most boring i’ve seen in 2 years.The 4th Quarter is when it got real. It was 12-3 in the 4th with 9 minutes left. Drew Brees throws a touchdown pass to Michael Thomas with 8:41 left. So now it’s 12 -10 Browns up 2. “ Don’t let them bums comeback “ the trash talker said. I replied with “ these bums won more games in the last year then yall did in the last 3 “. He just doesn’t be quiet at all and it’s sad. “ LETS GO DREW “ i yell loudly for the 2nd straight touchdown in the 4th Quarter for my team. Then Alvin Kamara sneaks in for the 2 point conversion. With 2 minutes and 40 seconds the saints are up 18 - 12 . My uncle just as quiet as he’s been the whole game. I heard crickets outside, that’s how you knew it was silent. Then the Browns drive down the field and score with a tired Saints defense. “ THIS GAME IS OVER , ITS F’N OVER “ my annoying uncle yelled. As i’m sitting down losing faith in my team with 1 minutes and 16 seconds left in the 4th. The browns kicker misses the extra point so the game is now tied 18-18. As we drive down the field with the game tied , im just so anxious to see what actually happens next. The game on the line # 3 Will Lutz practicing his kicking motion , he kicks it right down the middle of the goal post and the kick is good. The unthinkable happens at the last moment , with a few good catches from Juice Landry and Antonio Callaway. The Browns are in field goal range with 8 seconds . They kick and miss badly and the Saints win the game. “ That game was bs man and you know it “ my uncle sounding disappointed in his teams lost. “ No , the simple fact that you thought they were gonna win is sad but it was a good game” i proudly said. “ Whatever man” my uncle said. That was the end of the trash talk until the Saints play the Eagles in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Week 11.

Thanks for sharing this post. The writing provides details about your football fandom and game-watching process. Would you say this scene focuses on the game, you, or both?

Personally, I'm not really that into sports. But this post really had me engaged to see if the Saints had won or not!
