Favre Favre

So...let's talk about the great Brett Favre. Everything should be Farvin' talked about when he plays. The Farvin' Favre is Favrin' Favre IMO.

The Favrin' xyphedrine side effects, are only a short Favre away from a Favrin' Favre.

OK...enough Farvin' Favre. I guess we can safely say that Favre hooked up with a pretty amazing situation by signing with the Vikings eh? Favre has played as well this year as I think he has in any year of his career. Maybe not the offensive numbers we hav e seen,b ut the lack of mistakes have certainly been a pretty important change for him compared to recent years.

I guess we will see if he chokes again in the NFC Championship game, but I have my doubts. I think they may jhust be the best team in the league.

Anyone Know Who to Pick in the NFL Championship Games Anymore?

I thought that I had a good grasp on the NFL playoffs going in, but I have been completely wrong on quite a few of these games. I didn't expect Arizona to lay down this week. I actually thought that the Green Bay Packers might even make it as far as the NFC title game before losing to Minnesota. I was convinced that New Orleans just wasn't playing well enough to advance from their first game. LO @ me.

One thing I was pretty confident in though was that both Dallas, and the San diego Chargers were probably going to choke at some point. If you have watched th NFL for the last decade you have seen the San Diego Chargers with as stacked with talent as any team in the NFL. They seem to alway be there with a lot of regular season wins, and a ton of pro-bowlers. Then they blow it when the playoffs come. This year was no different when they ran into the NY Jets defensive buzzsaw.

Tony Romo...yeah...this guy is the definition of "choker". Dallas is just like San Diego. They have tons of All-pro athletes, and are always considered one of the most talented teams in the league. Then when it comes down to actually winning a big game, they are nowhere to be found. Romo is usually the reason for it. This time Minnesota laid a defensive whooping on them.

So...how do we go about this weekend in the Jets/Colts and the Vikings./Saints match ups? All I know is that I expect both games to be incredible. The Jets/Colts game I think may be a borefest if you aren't a big fan of Darrell Revis and the Jets defense. I have to go with the Colts though. Manning is good enough to tear them up, and funnily enough, if the Colts wouldn't have given up on the undefeated season in Week 16, the jet wouldn't even be in the playoffs right now. I'm sure J-E-T-S fans will CLAp at that silly mistake all week.

As for the Vikings/ Saints? Man this game could be really, really good. Both teams played outstanding this past weekend. Both put up big numbers on offense, and both played solid D. Great d in the Vikings case. I am leaning toward the Minnestoa Favre's, but anything can happen here. I just don't think that the Saints D is gonna be able to do as much as they did against Arizona with the superior Minnesota O-Line, but they are a team of takeaways. Anything can happen when you have the USC Reggie Bush playing at his best though.

Darrell Revis Shouldn't Have Been Defeensive Player of the Year?

I know everyone has seen his hit list of superstar WRs he has shut down this year by now, but I doubt many have seen him actually play until yesterday against the Chargers in the Jets 2nd playoff game. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE me some Charles Woodson from my favorite college team the Michigan Wolverines, but Darrell Revis was just way too good not to win.

Look at this list of victims:

andre johnson - 4/35 7 targets
moss 4/24, 5/34/1 8 and 11 targets
ochocinco 0/0, 2/28 4 and 6 targets
wayne 3/33 7 targets
s. smith (Carolina) 1/5 7 targets
TO 3/13, 3/31 8 and 9 targets
r. white 4/33 10 targets
colston 2/33 6 targets

I will admit that I was as shocked as anyone to see the Chargers have such a hard time scoring against the Jets. I knew their defense was amazing, and that Revis was just a flat out stud, but damn I expected the Chargers to get some points and Sanchez to be the reason the Jets lost due to lack of scoring. Boy was I wrong.

So...who made the biggest play in the game? Obviously, it was the Revis INT that turned the game around. Revis won't make the no xplode reviews list anytime soon because he is always blowing up on the field.

Oh boy...That Arizona New Orleans Game Sure Was Let Down

New Orleans came out and put a 45-14 whoopin' on the Cardinals last night. Even with Tim Hightower taking the opening offensive play of the game 70 yards for a TD, the Cardinals never looked like they were in the game after about 3 minutes in.

New Orleans came right back and marched down the field to tie it up on the ensuing drive with no problems. Then Arizona and Kurt Warner settled in for a vicious beating. Warner even had to leave the game for the end of the first half after getting his head bashed in. Some say it will be his last game. He is getting up there in age and ready for best wrinkle treatments by now, but after his 5 TD game against Green Bay last week many don't think he will hang them up.

The best thing about the game I think was the re-emergence of the great Reggie Bush. HE looked like he was locked in for the first time in a very long time. He ran hard and north/south. His 40+ yard TD was a classic run the second you saw it. Then he proceeded to do it all even returning a punt for a TD. USC Reggie Bush was in the house and my dreams of the Saints cutting him and the Lions signing him in the off season were dashed.

Anything Better Than NFL playoffs?

I usually consider baseball my favorite sport, but football, and the NBA aren't too far behind. I am not much of a college football fan, but the NFL is where it is at. Even though the World Series has many great moments, I don't think the thrill of the NFL playoffs can be matched by any other sport for me.

Especially the first couple rounds. The match ups are always so much better in my mind. Seeing amazing games like the Arizona/Green Bay game last week was just another reason to solidify my view of this. Teams that are more closely matched show up in these rounds typically from my experience. Teams that have more variety in their winning than the typical well-rounded teams that come later, or the defensive forces that make games into borefests as we get deeper. Rather be shopping for some Stuart Weitzman shoe than watch these games. Well...no I wouldn't, but you get the point.

This week it is definitely the Arizona @ New Orleans game that is the one I want to see. Two of my favorite QBs in the league in Kurt :The Immortal" Warner, and Drew Brees squaring off in a point-fest.

Let's just get this out of the way too: If you don't think Warner is a HOFer you are an idiot. End.

Packers Rolling the Seahawks

The way the weather has been the last few days I didn't think anyone would be able to put up this many points. Especially at Lambeau of all places. In the 4th quarter with over 9 minutes left still and the Packers have already put up 42 points! It's snowing like crazy too. Thought this would be a pretty close game, but I guess Green Bay came to lay down the law today. Up by 22 against the washed up Alexander. Doubt anyone went out and got a computer rental for a game at the stadium this week...lol
