I don’t have a whole lot to add to todays NFL Championship games.  I’ll have more spin on things tomorrow, I just wanted to get a quick results post in.
The Bears took advantage of 4 Saints turnovers to route the New Orleans Saints, 39-14.  Glad I didn’t stick with the Saints, they just didn’t have it this afternoon as the unthinkable has happened….Rex Grossman has led the Bears to the Super Bowl, well, not really.  Rex only completed 11 passes, as the Bears defense, run game, and weather dominated the Saints.

Well, America asked for it, and now you have received it.  Peyton Manning and the Colts are heading the the Super Bowl after a 38-34 victory over Tom Brady and the Patriots.  Honestly, I have to give it up for Manning, the guy was all balls in the 2nd half, leading the Colts back from a 21-6 deficit, and 32 2nd half points.  I still think the Colts got a slight gift on that last drive with the roughing the passer call that put them on the 11 yard line.  Only one very quick replay was showed, I have to figure that’s because of the intense man crush that the league and media has for Manning.  They didn’t want to taint his victory in any way.  Looked to me like a D-lineman sorta fell down and grazed Manning’s facemask with with his hand, but again, I only saw one replay.  I hope you are prepared for 2 straight weeks of Manning lovefest.

Well, I’ve taken all week to give this game lots of thought and still haven’t really come to a conclusion as to who I think will actually win.  I want to pick the Saints, but winter weather has me wondering if that offense can produce.  Oh screw it, I’m picking New Orleans.  Ya know what, I’m not picking New Orleans, but I’m gonna leave all the “I’m picking New Orleans” text on the page.

Here is the New Orleans Promo:

It’s all just too appropriate.  The downtrodden Saints are destined to go to the Super Bowl.  They have the better quarterback and the better offense.  The Bears defense is not what it was during the regular season, heck, they should have lost to the Seahawks.  Also, I spoke to our West Coast Correspondent Ruben Romero today, and he believes that the Saints will win because George Bush is behind the whole deal.  Something along the lines of Bush wants them to win so everyone will forget about the Katrina screwup.  Honestly Ruben, if Bush can fix the NFL playoffs, why can’t he fix our country?

Yeah, all that stuff is great, but after I watched that Bears Youtube video I can’t help but pick DA BEARS.  I know the Bears have issues, but come on, it’s in freakin Chicago, 20 degrees, possible snow.  This is the Bears moment.  It will be a good game, a defensive struggle early, but both teams will find some offense in the second half.  Grossman leads the Bears on a game winning drive late in the game, giving us a 1985 rematch, Bears/Patriots.

The following video is a Saints video from GotSaints.com  complete with catchy lyrics.  How exactly did all the millionaire Saints players survive Katrina? 

New Orleans Saints number one on the field,  Katrina couldn’t stop us and that’s real, beatin these teams is no big deal, big deal, big, this is the way we live-

And now for the Bears, a really well done video with the Al Pacino speech from Any Given Sunday.

Gotta thank Jeff for finding this one. Fitting that we follow the Manning videos up with this:

Classic:

Brady, your balls are the only balls I need

and my end zone is where I want you to be

Cause Brady, there’s a touchdown I want you to throw

Your the QB of my…..your my Brady

Also, if you get a chance, check out the other youtube videos from BradyFan83. He does a fantastic job of creating lyrics for NFL players set to popular 80’s songs….he’s as good as the Real Men Of Genius ads, and better than Weird Al.
My personal favorite is He’s Always Houshmanzadeh To Me:

But he’ll be my hero long as he plays the game, this T.J.’s no hooker, he’s always Houshmanzadeh to me

Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports toys with the idea that running back by committee seems to be taking over the NFL….and championships as well. Those of us that play fantasy football are all to aware of the rising usage of the dreaded “running back by committee. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to pick out backs that get the majority of their teams carries….and even when you do, they often have a goal line hawk waiting in the wings to steal touchdowns.

Is the stud running back becoming obsolete? Will there come a day when even a guy like L.T. gives way to a touchdown vulture? It used to be you only had to be weary of the Denver Broncos…..now you have many NFL teams employing multiple backs.

Time will tell, but trends are an important thing in the NFL. Teams copy what wins. I believe this is just the beginning of the RBBC. In a few short years, every team will rotate backs in and out of the game as the NFL becomes more and more situational. Remember, there was a time when the 11 guys on defense were simply the 11 guys on defense. There were not dime and nickel packages. You did not have linemen that only played on passing downs. Mark my words….Guys like Tomlinson and Larry Johnson are a dieing breed in the NFL.

As we start getting ready for Saints/Bears…….

For some reason I don’t think I’d use rap music if I wrote a song about Peyton Manning.

This was Dr. H’s Peyton video for the Ravens. He actually compares Manning to Jesus in this one. “number one eight turns me on!”

I found this over at NBX.com.  I think the editing on this video could have been much better, but the idea itself is fantastic.  Dr. Phil is out to save our two favorite quarterbacks!

Lyrics (For those that enjoy the artistic side of music)

We want our Rexy back

Where is that top rated quarterback?

Don’t wanna qb who gets sacked

We hope you still can beat the Pack

Just throw it long

Go Rexy go

You can’t be wrong

Go Rexy go

Play to thrill

Go Rexy go

Some teams you kill

Go Rexy go

It’s first and ten

Go Rexy go

Let’s win again

Go Rexy go

We want to see

Go Rexy go

Some more T.D.’s

Go Rexy go

New Orleans, You Haven’t Seen a Devastating Flood Until You’ve Seen the Sex Cannon in Action (Kissing Suzy Kolber)

I came across this video thanks to Deadspin. Watch the entire thing and you’ll see the frizzy haired guy running up to Eagles fans and openly taunting them. If the Hurricanes are able to make the playoffs this year, I’ll be doing this at the RBC Center.

The Eye of the Crazy Frizzy-Haired Saint (Deadspin)

Remember this girl?

Well, it appears she has drawn the scrutiny of this guy:

Well, the AFA (American Family Association) has sprung into action over this incident and is urging folks to send complaints to the FCC. I get where they are coming from, it’s offensive to air the ‘F’ word on television. However, I don’t understand what their goal might be in actually perpetuating the experience. An actual link to a photo of the offense is included on the FAA website, and they go on to describe what the shirt said….with dashes of course. To be sure this was the 1st time many children ever saw the 4 letter ‘F’ word, as it certainly isn’t used in television, movies, schools, songs, parents and the such.

I would also like to send out a call to figure out just who the F–K Da Eagles girl is.
