NFL Championship Sunday

In my opinion, today is likely the best football day of the entire year. You have the NFC and AFC championship games on back-to-back. It seems that year after year these are the best games of the NFL playoffs.

Here are some thoughts:

Vikings vs. Saints:
Old Man River (Favre) versus Captain America (Brees). This has all the ingredients of an amazing game. Potent offenses. Solid defenses. Tons of speed and two teams use to playing on turf in domes. High scoring and lots of offense! Over-under of 60 points, which I think they'll hit. Brett Favre on the cover of SI this week....

Advantage: Saints.
I can't stomache having 2 weeks of Favre coverage and people talking about how great he is at 42. Six months ago the press was bashing him for his inability to make a decision (for what seems like the 20th time in the past 4 years). Now, they love him. Me, I am sick and tired of Brett Fav-ruh.


Colts vs. Jets:
Young upstart Mark Sanchez versus Peyton Manning. There was a great article in the local paper this morning about Mark Sanchez and his best friend relationship with CU wide receiver Scotty McKnight. Pretty cool that these two guys have been friends since 2nd grade and are still close to this day despite busy schedules and distance apart.

It will be too hard for the Jets to come out of Indy with win, but some how...

Advantage: Jets.
Here's to long time friendships and the under dog prevailing. Peyton Manning's sponsors will be bummed he's not around for the Super Bowl. We'll still see plenty of him, just not playing.

** Enjoy the games today!
