Vendetta


MIAMI GARDENS - VENDETTA, sounds like a really cool X-box game (could be already I don't know), but it was actually the best word to describe Daunte Culpepper's performance on Sunday.

Culpepper's numbers weren't spectacular, but as Bruce Willis has shown us in many Die Hard movies, you don't have to be glamorous when getting revenge. Culpepper gritted out his most impressive performance in years on what looked like pure hate. Yeah he only threw for only 75 yards and ran for a pedestrian 28 yards, but he scored all five Oakland touchdowns.

You knew from the start of the game that Culpepper was ready to play, he lead his team on the field by sprinting 10 yards in front of his team with his hands in the air welcoming the boos. After one of rushing touchdowns, Culpepper danced across the end line pointing at his knee and giving the O.K. symbol to anyone who would look.

Sunday was like something out of a first rate action flick, the only way this story could have ended better would have been Culpeeper driving away in his black SUV saying arrivederci bastardo's.
