1st and 10 (conference champs)


"no, YOU calm down!"

i'm torn about the AFC championship because of the two teams playing. i like the Patriots, but after 3 championships, the TomBridget thing, that erosion of class and a slowburn souring on Sith Lord Belichick ... i kinda wanted them to get eliminated prior to this. on the other hand, there's Peyton Manning, whose every single failure i whooped up with glee (same reaction with his grudgingly-funny commercials). hey, the guy has CAA toiling to make him more money. and winning a SuperBowl will mean a lot more Manning commercials in the next few years, so much that it would be annoying. a-yiaaaa.

the NFC ... has been inferior to the AFC for awhile now. so between the Bears and the Saints, i think i'll just pick the Saints, because i don't trust Rex Grossman beating anyone on the big stage. he's been lucky so far, and even with the Bears' quality defense, the Colts carved up the Baltimore Ravens D, so it really don't mean jack.

so let's say the Saints win the NFC ... and if they meet the Colts, they'll have a chance with the two-headed hydra of Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush. now, if the Saints meet the Patriots, you know as well as i do Sith Lord Belichick doesn't frakkin' care if this is America's Team, or if the Saints were composed of Katrina orphans - - - he's gonna stomp his foot down on their necks.

playoff prognostication record so far: 3-5

New Orleans at Chicago ... we believe!
New England at Indianapolis ... can we just blow them both up instead?
