I have to write a little something about yeterday's championship games because they were just too good for me not to. If you hate sports just scroll down to the news links below.
Bears/Saints was great for two reasons. Snow and great defense.
The Bears provided the great defense and Chicago provided the snow (almost if on cue). I don't know if I've said this before but all championship games should be played in bad weather. It's just so awesome. And snow being the greatest of them all, in HD, is like a perfect ice cream sundae. Makes me happy. Anyway the minute Reggie Bush went 88 yards on that pass and pointed to Urlacher on the way in, THEN somersaulted into the endzone I was like oh shit, no he didn't !! That certaintly woke up the entire Bears defense and they just took it from a 8 (which is pretty good) to a 98. I mean they really turned up the dial on Brees and made him look very bad for very long (half the 3rd quarter, all of the 4th). I said on LOV blog how hard it is for a dome team to go into a cold weather stadium with a Super Bowl on the line and play well. Yet every single retarded pundit/analyst/sports whiz picked the Saints. They are so foolish. Dome teams are now 0-10 when trying to advance to a super bowl on the road. And I hate to say I told you so but I did.
Colts/Pats. Wow. What a game.
Colts fell behind early and it seemed as if they would just fold. But Dungy didn't let them. He's as cool as Snoopy himself. Never panicked, kept the team focused and had them ready to come out in the second half like something fierce. And they did. Scoring 35 points in the second half. Once they tied it on a nifty catch by Harrison for two points it was a scoring see-saw battle. They traded Td's, Fg's and great plays. With two minutes left it came down to Peyton and his offense. And he performed. Strike to Harrison, strike to Wayne, Wayne again (the fumble in the air, but grabbed it back--who didn't hold thier breath on that play?) then 30 yards to Fletcher and this was all capped off by a Joseph Addai run straight up Broadway. Crowd was delirious and so were the Colts. But wait, there was 56 seconds left. Did Peyton leave Brady too much time? NO! says Marlin Jackson (mich alum). He will have none of it as he steps in front of Watson and picks the ball off, slides to the ground to secure the ball and the Colts go to Miami.
Great game, one of the best in my short lifetime.
Few observations on both games:
Two black coaches going to the Super Bowl, first time ever.....couldn't be happier on who though.
Great guys, great coaches.
Reggie Bush is fast, but dumb.
Urlacher is better than Ray Lewis. I will have none of it.
Lance Briggs is just as good as the highest paid LB in the league, whoever that may be.
Great story, great ride but New Orleans was way over their head yesterday.
Thanks for the Snow, God.
Peyton with the head down when Brady got the ball back = ultimate respect for Brady.
If Belichik wears that sweater while coaching the AFC in the pro-bowl I'm cutting my eyes out with a steak knife.
Stud rookie Colston didn't look good at first, but gained some composure and reeled in some nice catches, he's going to be great.
Dalls Clark = money in the bank & sleeper prop bet for Super Bowl MVP.
Thomas Jones....Cedric Benson crushed McCallister/Bush combo.

i like snow games.
reggie, dont celebrate prematurely or anything....
Nice post. I couldn't be happier here! Way to pick the Super Bowl, too, btw.
thanks
snow games rule
snow on hd is the shizzle...nice focker footy ball reference...focker out!
snow games are to football as peanut butter is to jelly. I totally agree with you about Urlacher over Ray Ray.
After watching a special on Joseph Addai's paralyzed high school teammate on Saturday, I definitely was rooting for the guy. I just hope he stays healthy long enough to get a mad dollar contract, good people like him deserve it. He helps pay for his friend's medical bills.
yeah saw that, great story
Reggie Bush angered the spirit of Papa Bear Halas.
rev funny
Reggie was a moron ... hopefully he learns from this. Don't f*ck wiht Urlacher.
Cut that meat!!!! all the way to the Super Bowl trophy! It's your time, Peyton.
