Thoughts on the Weekend

I'll avoid a rant.

ARI @ NO

You can't blame people for picking Arizona. Well, actually, you can. But the Saints showed what I think many knew all along: they're the best team in the league. They didn't even need to try during the second half. I will enjoy their rampage over the Vikings with relish.

BAL @ IND

I really feel bad for Ravens fans. Indy is that incomprehensible thorn in their side. You could do everything right and still lose to these guys, somehow. I think the biggest challenge in the AFC Championship will be for the commentators to suck off both Manning and the Jets, as they did for the entirety of the two AFC games.

DAL @ MIN

I love how there's an attempt at making a "running up the score" controversy. NO ONE CARES. If I get paid millions to tackle a guy holding a ball, and I fail, I can't complain about the final score. Maybe in college sportsmanship matters. In the NFL? When was the last time the league had an iota of class? Plus, now Favre may have angered the football gods. And I couldn't be happier.

NYJ @ SD

Playoff choke job aside, Phil Simms needs to be arrested for public pornography after his 3.5 hour blowjob of Darrelle Revis and Mark Sanchez. I had impartial friends tell me how bad he was. When the NY Post says he's doing a good job, you know he's bad. In summation, the Chargers need to get out of their own heads. Kaeding needs support from the fans, not to be shunned. Oh, and draft a goddamn RB.

I can safely say I won't watch either Championship game next week. But I will be rooting for New Orleans for all it's worth. If anyone in the world deserves to be a Super Bowl MVP, it's Drew Brees. Biased as always,
