NFC and AFC Championships

Alright, tomarrow is the NFC and AFC Championship games. First, at 3pm, we have the NFC matchup which places the topseed Chicago Bears against the underdog feelgood story of the year, second-seeded New Orleans Saints. Not only do I (and everyone else not in a city named Chicago) want the Saints to maul the Bears, I also beleive the can and will. The Bear's D is not as great as everyone has made it out to be, and has despratley stuggled in the last couple weeks, including last week's squeakby OT win against the Seattle Seahawks. Another factor that will lead toward a Bears loss is the fact that they have a random bum they pulled off the street in their starting QB spot. Rex Grossman won't kill them, though he will be a main factor in the Bear's loss. For the Saints, even though they are going up against a somewhat tough D, they have so many offensive weapons, they cannot and will not be stopped. When look at the fact they have shouldbe MVP Drew Brees at QB, then the best RB duo in the league with Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister, and on top of that they have WRs Joe Horn, Marques Colston and that Copper dude, you notice that they will not score less than 20 points. Personally, I think they'll go over 30. FINAL SCORE: New Orleans 34, Chicago Bears 27
Now with the AFC Championship game. Its that old great rivalry we've all grown accustomed to... the Indianapolis Colts against the New England Patriots. I honestly don't know why there is even a debate about this game. Tom Brady cannot and will not lose in the playoffs. His one belmish in his 12-1 record was completley because of a) the refs (calling that Champ Bailey fumble out on the 1 yard line instead of a touchback which would have given the Pats the ball back on their own 20. With the call they made, they setup a Broncos TD that would be scored on the very next play (Mike Anderson 1-yard rushing TD) and b) all of those freaking fumbles, I think there was like 4 of them by his retarded teamates. The only way the Pats lose is if 1) the refs cheat him out of it again 2)his teamates lose it for him, or 3) he gets injured. So, basically even if Peyton Manning has the game of the century, the Pats will still win because they are amazing, and completley unbeatable in postseason play. Plus, you have to acknowledge the fact that either (or both) Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy are cursed in the playoffs. Indy's only advantage is home field advantage, but that will be no where near enough. FINAL SCORE: New England 37, Indianapolis 27
Now, other than football, I went to the Wings game on Wednesday when the beat the Nashville Predators 5-3 at the Joe. The Pistons made an amazing move with signing Chris Webber for the minimum wage salary (veterans minimum). Though Chris probably doesn't really care about that because the 76ers have to pay him $39 million over the next two years even though hes on the Pistons. Carmelo only has one game left on his 15 game suspension that he got for sucker punching that Knick's guy during that semi-brawl. Once he gets back, its all over for the NBA because him and AI will take the Nuggets the distance. Also, I thought it was pretty funny last night in the Spurs vs Hornets game, that Chris Paul was sitting out on the bench in his suit and tie (due to injury) and he mouthed off to the ref and got ejected, even though he wasnt in uniform. The Tigers resigned Frenando Rodney, Omar Infanate and other Tigers to extensions. Jeff Simajirza, Norte Dame pictcher and WR, chose to sign a 5 year $10 million contract with the Chicago Cubs, rather than enter this years NFL Draft. Jeff was the Cubs 5 round pick in this years past amateur draft. Big mistake on Jeff's part, but eh, if thats what he wants to do than so be it. The Chargers (yes, back to the NFL) offensive coordinator Cam Cameron is now the Miami Dolphins new head coach. He did a good job with Brees and Rivers, but I just dont think hes ready for an NFL coaching job just yet. It has also been said that the Pittsburgh Steelers chose Minnesota Vikings Defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin to succeed Bill Cowher as the Steeler's new head coach. Even though he had the first ranked rush defense in the league, he had the 32nd ranked pass defense in the league, which makes you wonder....especailly when he had such great big names back there like Darren Sharper, Fred Smoot and Cedric Griffin among others. Well thats it from me, peace dude
