Patriots-Colts: An Instant Classic
I thought the Patriots-Chargers divisional round clash was a great game. It had a lot of bizarre plays, an exciting ending, and plenty of star power. But yesterday’s AFC Championship was like that to the tenth power–an intense game with plenty of momentum changes, almost like an episode of “24.” The Colts’ 38-34 victory over their archrival Patriots was one for the ages, a game that any true sports fan who watched it will remember for the rest of his life.

Super Sunday
Super Bowl XLI is sure to be the most over-hyped event in history—that is, until next season. Every year the annual event swells in size not only in vewership, but in money and exposure as well. Add in a mix of uncommonly juicy storylines, and you’ve got a media and advertising giant on your hands. But before you get caught up in things like pioneers in African-American coaching history, superstars like Peyton Manning and Brian Urlacher making it to their first Super Bowl, and other issues of a trivial nature, first consider the impact of this event on important things like advertising and the opportunity to make a TON of money.
OK folks, here it is. Conference Championship Sunday. In so many ways it’s better than the actual Super Bowl. We all were wrong about the Colts last week. Will they get any respect against the Pats? And will the Bears defend their home turf? Chicago fans say that some fire in 1871 make them the sentimental favorites….
No podcast this week but check out the AFC and NFC Championship picks below.

Championship Week Preview
Last week’s divisional playoff games were an absolute riot. Like most years, those four games provided a weekend of football that is hard to top. Every game featured big-time surprises, and all but one had down-to-the-wire endings. Could anyone have predicted that both Peyton Manning and Tom Brady would have sub-par games, yet their teams would still win? This is what the playoffs are all about: discovering things about each team that the regular season could not show, answering all questions, and delivering an undisputed champion. The Final Four is set, and each team absolutely deserves to be there.

The Playoffs are a Cherry on Top
The National Football League playoffs give football fans a little bit of everything. Whether it be a botched snap on a field goal that would win the game, a game winning field goal, or driving down the length of a football field to win a game. This is the best time of the year for football fans, regardless if your team is in or out.
While the NFL season is rife with ridiculous comparisons and commentary, nothing has bothered me as much as the ludicrous assertion that the Philadelphia Eagles are a better team with Jeff Garcia than they are with Donovan McNabb. Look, I’ll grant you the fact that the Eagles are a team transformed – six straight wins leaves the current squad looking nothing like the team that even the most fervent of fans had left for dead following McNabb’s injury and a blowout loss against Indianapolis. Hell, I’ll even go so far as to say that the loss of McNabb is ultimately why the Eagles have seen such a change in their fortunes… but not because Jeff Garcia brings anything to the table that Donovan does not.
The New Orleans Saints have overcome many obstacles over the course of this season. Starting with Hurricane Katrina, the city of New Orleans was devastated. Hurricane Katrina truly put a sporting event out of perspective because of the innocent lives being proclaimed right before our very eyes.
Kevin Federline may have received more positive reviews for his debut album than Rex Grossman did for his play at quarterback this year for the Bears. But if you grade his season on a curve and focus on how he played in the Bears most meaningful games, you’ll find that Grossman should really deserve a lot more credit than criticism for his overall play.
