Championships!!

I have things to say about all this primary business, but it can wait until after...
FOOTBALL!!!!

AFC: Will Rivers play? He's "optimistic." Is that enough? Probably not. The Chargers played their asses off last week in what turned out to be an awesome game (both sunday games last week were infinitely more exciting than the saturday blowouts). I think this is New England's game to lose. I hope Volek/Rivers can make it exciting though. NE wins either way, barring some horrendous Brady/Maroney/offensive line injury. But wait, what about LT? He's feeling "good". After last week they have some momentum.

NFC: Who, at the beginning of the season would have predicted this NFC championship game? I had the Cowboys pegged early in the season to take the NFC. But the might New York football Giants showed they have the guts to go all the way. Their obstacle? An amazing GB team. Seriously, it's going to be below zero in Wisconsin tonight (as it is in Cleveland right now). I don't know who will take it. I'd say GB has the weather edge, but seriously, when was the last time it was this friggen' cold? I look forward to an awesome game, no matter who wins. Although Michael Strahan is a wonderful human being. And Bart Oates was a mighty Giant. Strahan vs. Favre, too close to call.

Edit: I forgot to add...Both games are outdoors! In cold-ass weather! Fantastic! This is better than the Superbowl...indoor wimps.
