Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa and pass me the Samuel Adams!!! :-)
It was a banner day for *me* - my two favorite teams in the NFL are going to
meet in the Super Bowl!

Even though Tom Terrific had his worst game of the year, the outcome of the
AFC Championship Game was never in any doubt ;-)

Props to the San Diego quarterback for playing the full game when it was clear
he was having problems getting much on the football.

Many more props to the offensive and defensive lines for the Patriots, who
provided the ground game to make up for the off-day passing attack, and for
taking the run offense totally away from San Diego. Fantastic work in the
trenches!

As for the NFC Championship Game: The score doesn't reflect it, but anyone
that watched the entire Ice Bowl game knows damned well the New York Football
Giants took it to the Packers hard and often, and dominated that game!
Fabulous victory - even though it took three field goal attempts to finally
hit the one that ended it. Stats are lopsided in favor of the Gi'nts,
reflecting how they controlled the game nearly from the jump.

The odds aren't up yet, but I expect to see the Pats favored by somewhere
around 12 points. I'll be rooting for my home boyz, certainly, to make even
more history than they've already done this year. But I'm very happy for the
Giants for going the distance.

Lastly, if Favre puts himself out to pasture as the result of this game, it
will be a sad day for football. The guy is a lion of a competitor...
