After a week of drivel so repetitive that we were reduced to writing this, we finally land, inevitably, on the game itself. Whew. That took forever....
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. The Packers are starting with the ball and Favre comes out in a succession of naked bootlegs. Perhaps this morning's episode of the Mayne Event was actually trying to tell ...
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. Everybody but Phil wants to see Billy Volek but Marmalard is still getting plenty on his throws when he has time. They have a got a first down inside the the twenty and it looks like we'...
AFC Championship: First Half
In a matter of minutes the Patriots and Chargers will kick off Championship Sunday from the frigid confines of Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The winner is headed for Super Bowl XLII Pink Taco in beautiful Glendale. I'll be here providing updates on this here post throughout the fir...
Happy Championship Sunday!
Ladies and gentlemen, start your countdown. We're now just eight hours away from kickoff in the first game of the NFL's Championship Sunday. Things get underway at 3 pm eastern when San Diego will call the toss in Foxborough, and with any luck the game will still be competitive at 3:30. Once that's ...
NFC Championship Pants Party: Packers Vs. Giants
Eli Manning against Brett Favre. The debate about the relative attributes of these two quarterbacks has raged for a generation. At last, it will be settled on the field....
AFC Championship Pants Party: Patriots Vs. Chargers
Does anyone out there dare? Can anyone claim, with a straight face, that the Chargers are going to win this game? It's the AFC Championship, and we haven't found a single person who is taking the underdog. Sad state of affairs....
Are We Ready For A Rivers-Manning Super Bowl?
Everyone's all excited and a-twitter about the potential matchup of the Patriots and the Packers, Tom Brady and Brett Favre, that they're looking past the most enthralling quarterback faceoff of all: Eli Manning vs. Philip Rivers. Now that would be something to see....
Setting The Table For Two More Rather Important Games Of Foot-Ball
We'd actually forgotten about this, but now that both teams are meeting again in the AFC Championship Game, it's worth reminding everybody about: LaDainian Tomlinson totally hates the Patriots....

Giants-Cowboys, Second Half Live Blog
If New York wins this game, they're going to have to play in Green Bay, so Gibril Wilson seems game in case they have to play another Ice Bowl in Wisconsin. But the game's only 14-14 at halftime, and we are also 4-for-4 in evenly-matched first halves this weekend. Follow along after the jump to see ...
Giants-Cowboys, First Half Live Blog
Well, it's going to be hard to top the excitement on that Chargers upset, but there's only one way to find out: guesstimation. No it won't! It won't be as thrilling! But hopefully it's fun enough to sit through another live blog, because that's what's gonna happen....

Chargers-Colts, First Half Live Blog
Stan Humphries is in your face right now. He was quarterback of the Chargers the last time they made the AFC Championship game, back in 1994. If these Chargers can replicate their performance against the Colts earlier this year, they'll accomplish just that. Of course I am talking merely about San D...
Jaguars-Patriots, Second Half Live Blog
I'll give Boston the benefit of the doubt and assume that most New Englanders know how to spell "asterisk" correctly. But when Stephen Savoia took this picture for the Associated Press, he made it a point to ensure that Johnny West, the man holding the sign, was called out for the misspelling, and t...
