Well, looks like the Patriots will be the champs again. Yes, it looks like a done deal. Many thanks to both the Colts and the Chargers.
Frankly, the most exciting football game left in the year is the NFC Championship Game next week. There's just no way that the Patriots will lose in the next two weeks. Based on storylines, I prefer a Chargers / Giants (Philip Rivers vs Eli Manning) Super Bowl because of the QB draft histories. Obviously if Favre reaches the Super Bowl, it's a big story as well. Two weeks of whether or not how much the Patriots are the best team ever is going to make me want to vomit.
Briefly - the Jags vs Pats - I thought the Jags had a chance at the half. They had played a decent game in the first half but were by no means perfect. On the other side, the Pats were statistically perfect and missed a FG, and the game was tied. Usually when teams have the Pats close / tied at the half, the Patriots have had a sloppy half while the other team has played perfectly. In this game, I thought it was a bit of the opposite, and the Jags were tied, so it gave me hope. But the moment they faltered and had to kick a FG, it was clear the game was over. Amusing graphic of the night? Putting "10-3 as a starter" under David Gerrard's name. Second most amusing? "QB rating: 3rd overall in NFL." They never put "16-0" as a starter, "1st overall" or "MVP" under Brady's name.
I missed the Seattle vs Green Bay game but wished I had watched some. I love NFL in the snow. I also slept through Indianapolis and San Diego. I'm glad I did.
I'm happy for the Giants, who have now won 9 road games in a row. There is still no way that they can beat the Patriots. I've always liked Tom Coughlin as a coach, so it's particularly nice to see him get to another championship game.
In a day of upsets, the biggest upset wasn't even in the NFL! I had to read the score about five times - New York Knicks 89, Detroit 65! I thought for sure the teams were mixed up in the scores on that one. No, not true.
Good recap on Spider-Man's recent goings on by this column. So the marriage never happened but Peter and MJ dated for a while and were close friends. None of the previous stories that have happened since the wedding ever happened with them married but they still happened. Harry Osborn is alive somehow. On the one hand, comics makes changes like this all the time (see the DC Universe for re-writing origin stories over and over) but on the other, it's completely maddening. So what happened? What didn't? So confusing. Count me out.

Why are you glad you slept through Colts-Chargers? Regardless of how you feel about either team, it was probably the most exciting game of the weekend. Lots of big plays on both offense and defense, and some no-name backups putting together the game-winning drive.
I was rooting for the Colts, as I believe them to have a far superior chance at beating New England than the Chargers. So I'm glad I missed the way they botched things up because it would have made me even more disappointed than I am already.
