Birthday weekend, part one

Well. That was refreshing.
I watch every single playoff game every year. This time around I was really pushing for Jacksonville to shock the universe and upset the Pats. Close they came (as close as four other teams came this year after 16 weeks of play), but no “doobie”. Every week since November, every adversary to face the Pats have taken a tip (apparently thats all anyone can take) from the last team to face them and lose. Ever since the Eagles played them, everyone else has really been focusing on their “D” while their offenses have tried playing keep up. The Jags had them step for step until they left for the half, and Belichek broke out secret playbook “#1XPostseasonWeek2Delta” and that was that. Valiant effort nonetheless Jags.

If it wasn’t for the presence of the mighty, mighty Directv, I woulda thought the Seattle/Green Bay game was archive footage from the ‘70s (remember pre-global warming winters?). I see the Super Bowl matchup now, NE v. GB. Farve (as Leonidas) vs. Belichek’s Persians. A game that should be played in the snow, or some other harsh element.
“Pats vs. Packers Live at the Coliseum on the ice planet of Hoth!!!!”

A few friends of mine love their Chargers, none of them live in San Diego, but I was happy for them.

Dungy’s is a great guy & coach n’ everything, but I guess the football gods only have room for one Manning each year. Still, I wouldn’t bet on Eli if you paid me, but dammit if I wasn’t pleased they beat Dallass. It was definitely the more acceptable outcome.
Any Dallass win is unacceptable, unless it benefits the Eagles benefit somehow, and even then I’m uncomfortable with it.
And its a damn good sight to see them get bounced out on my birthday, some things just have to go right in this lifetime, dammit!

Oh, and Terrell’s weepy post game performance was just like him! I guess on your third (and possibly last) chance at being a good teammate you’d better start acting like you give a damn about team chemistry, but way to overdo it ya shumuck! Now he’s upset about the treatment of his QB? Jeezus, what a high-maintenance disaster he is. I always knew he’d end up in Dallass someday, even though I always got a kick outta his antics whenever he played against them, but he screwed up badly when he got kicked outta Philly. He, Westbrook and McNabb woulda been what the Pats are today. Philly fans woulda lost their damn minds watching them score every year. Super Bowl trophies lined up and down Broad Street for freaking years, man!!

May he never see another Super Bowl up close again.

What a Maroon.

Still, the Packers should roll this weekend. They’d better. This years Giants DO NOT belong in the big game anymore than Dallass did. They are the last, best hope to beat New England. Golden Boy Favre vs. Golden Boy Brady.

If its a Pats blowout, it’ll be a damn shame.
