The NFL playoffs are back on Sunday with a pair of games for the AFC and NFC Conference Championships. For football fans in the northeast this is a great weekend because the Patriots are back on the field against that pack of yipping yorkies, the Chargers. That team reminds me of my brothers dog because neither of them will shut the hell up. And like my brothers dog a good smack with a newspaper and putting him in his room does the trick.
It’s also a great day for Giants fans because Elisha Manning has all of a sudden morphed into into a manly quarterback and the Giants are playing some very good ball. But they have to go into historic Lambeau Field and come out with a win to go to the Super Bowl. I kinda feel bad for Jets fans, I mean they’ll be drunk again which sometimes isn’t so bad, but their top division rival and the guys they share the back pages with are both still playing and that has to suck as bad as the Colts did last Sunday.
So here’s the breakdown:
