Conference Championships

Well, the Super Bowl is all set. A rematch of one of the best regular season games of the year, the NFL is certainly very pleased with the matchup. You have the undefeated New England Patriots, the most hated team in recent memory, and the New York Giants, playing in a huge market. Great ratings!

Thoughts from the weekend:

New England-San Diego
As I thought, it turned out to be a close game. The Chargers were pretty banged up, and they should be commended for a fantastic finish to their season after starting out 5-5. Maybe Norv Turner is the right guy to get this talented team to the promised land. LT didn't do much to add to his legacy, not playing the whole game. One thing that made me angry was when one of the Chargers, I think Cromartie, got an interception and then did Moss' weird little celebration. After LT ripped NE for doing Merriman's "Lights Out" dance last year, I guarantee that he won't go after his guy. But whatever. New England didn't play well, but they still were able to beat a very good SD team. They should be just fine against NY.

New York-Green Bay
A great game that GB gave away. Favre reverted to his pre-2007 bad Brett, throwing horrendous interceptions. I don't think they ran the ball as much as they should have, Grant was coming off a 200 yard game last week. Favre'll be back next year. Eli played well again, but since he hasn't turned the ball over at all this postseason, he probably has a lot of pent-up turnovers in him. Maybe 4 picks and a fumble? I still don't trust him. Should be a fun Super Bowl though.

Something irrelevant that I just noticed: All four teams in the conference games have two words in their name: New England, New York, Green Bay, San Diego.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???

Democratic debate on right now. Stimulus plans!
