Nothing is impossible

Dateline, Tokyo 1945. The Japanese surrender to the Americans, even though they enjoyed a 4 year head start that began on December 7th, 1941.

In 1980, a bunch of college kids primarily from Boston University and the University of Minnesota beat the juggernaut known as the Soviet hockey team on their way to an unlikely - but not impossible - Olympic Gold Medal.

1985 NCAA Basketball Championshp Game. Villanova, despite 2 losses in the season to the mighty Patrick Ewing and Georgetown, shot a perfect 10 for 10 from the field, and hit a perfect 12 for 12 in foul shots in the 2nd half to nip Georgetown and shock - well - everyone.

2004. The Boston Red Sox, despite trailing 3 games to none to the NY Crime Family Yankees, became the first team in the history of all sports to ever to win all four remaining games in a 7 game series, which led to their first World Series win since Charlie Chaplin was a young boy acting in his 5th grade nativity play.

And last night, Ron Howard's illegitimate son, Opie Manning, defeated arguably the finest football team ever assembled in one place and time, sending New Yorkers into a frenzy and making them chant things like, "Yo" and "Yo....I'm taaaawking to you's".

And "Yo".

Take heart out there. Nothing is totally impossible; just sometimes improbable.
