NFC Championship: Second Half
Elisha has been solid, but he hasn't done quite enough to put his team in a good position. Favre is doing Favre-like things and Mike McCarthy still refuses to run the ball. One correction from the first half, it appears that Brady Poppinga has three tackles (not the six I estimated). I guess I'm ju...
NFC Championship: First Half
Sorry for the delayed start, but we're underway in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which I'm told is positively lovely this time of year.

AFC Championship: Second Half
They're underway in the second half and we've already seen Tom Brady throw an interception off of a tipped ball.

Favre Mad Libs > Brady Slash Fiction

Elisha's Special Lady Will Freeze With the Rest
If Abby McGrew wants to watch her boy-toy Eli freeze his nuts off in Green Bay then she's going to have to layer-up. Cooper-Eli's eldest brother-tells the New York Post (they get all the scoops!) that the quarterback won't have his woman sitting in a luxury box, because it's bad luck of course!...
Roy Knocks Tito Down, Wins Decision
Last night Roy Jones Jr. looked all of his doubters in the face and declared, "I am the king of all the fighters who should have retired years ago!" Well maybe he didn't say it, but I was certainly thinking it. Jones knocked Trinidad down on two occasions and won the decision going away. He even tau...
Trojans Fit Like A Glove
If somebody tells you that they have a read on this USC team then you should feel free to tell them that they are full of shit. Last night they came in to Pauley Pavilion and took care of business against a heavily favored UCLA team that couldn't get anything to fall (33% from the field). Aboya, Mb...

Who Wants It Less?
The New York Knicks were downright spectacular in their 88-84 win over the god awful Miami Heat. Isiah's bunch has now won three out of their last four games four out of their last five games and the boss is feeling pretty fuckin' good about himself. Check out the grin, the relaxed posture, and the ...
Dispatching Of the Swedes
Brad Guzan took full advantage of his opportunity on the big stage. The young American keeper was outstanding in America's shutout win against a fairly well-stocked Swedish national team. Eddie Robinson earned his first cap at the age of 29 and capitalized almost immediately with the match's first g...
