What a Hail Mary! Unbelievable, sports fans! If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it! (Okay, that’s a little contradictory, but I’m all excited.)

There he is! Theseus! That lil’ Greek kills me!

i bet the gods dont have cassandra on their tactical bench…too bad

@niaje: They probably do, but nobody ever listens to her anyway.

Miracles? In a Gods vs Heroes game? I’d be disappointed if there weren’t any.

Isn’t it about time for a deus ex machina?

…and it goes into Overture. TIME! goes into OverTIME!

Overture? Why not? Otherwise, why are all those fans in the stands chanting, “Kill the wab-bit! Kill the wab-bit! Kill the WAB-bit!”

(well, you know how irrelevant and rowdy fight songs can be at football games)

@Johanan Rakkav, I always liked the use of “We will rock you” in A Knight’s Tale (2001)–an anachronism, but somehow it suits the spirit of the event perfectly.

Oh, yes–love the apple on Billy Tell’s helmet!

Did you know that William Tell and most of his family were avid bowlers? Unfortunately, a fire some centuries back destroyed their records–so we will never know for whom the Tells bowled.

@boo-monk

You OW for that one!!!

Are the Heros going to win? I think Quasimodo has a hunch.

Orgelspieler, only if the gods are cheating.

In any case, The Gods Must Be Crazy.

If the heroes tied the game with a TD, they can win the game with the extra point kick.
