PLAYOFFS!?!?!? Round ONE!

My purely emotional, please do not be offended, Round One, play-off picks.

Cardinals over Falcons
I am still not sure about the Cardinals over the Falcons. I am not ready to give up my football crush on Matty Ice but Kurt Warner is a former Giant and how many more chances is he gonna get? I still love you, Matt. Promise!

Vikings over Eagles
If I ever root for the Eagles, it'll be from a padded cell. Go Vikings!


Dolphins over Ravens

Miami is my Cinderella team. I am also not ready to stop believing in "happily ever-after!" Plus, I can't root against the home team!

Colts over Chargers
This was the easiest game for me to pick. Colts are a clrealy superior team. I wanna see a Manning Bowl and if that isn't reason enough, this is....




I've gotta save some for ROUND 2! When the Colts play the Titans. :P

MIA is MIA

Oops! Looks like I overlooked the Miami Baltimore game in yesterday's post. While Chad Pennington's Chad Pennington's career completion percentage continues to rank best of all-time, the Dolphins' "Wildcat" offense was crushed by the Ravens. (Total of 71 yards rushing). The Raven's had a nice "pick-6" of poor Chadwick and won the game, 27-13. The Baltimore defense deserves a cookie for this game.

I have no pictures for this game. However, I can bestow some completely random knowledge up on you, if you like:
*Chad's name isn't really Chad, its James(his middle name is "Chadwick").
*Miami's only win last season was over the Baltimore Ravens.
*Since 1999 the Ravens have returned 26 interception for touchdowns (obviously a record).
*Dolphins are the only team to ever go undefeated. In 1972 they had a perfect season and unlike the Patriots, went on to win the Superbowl.
*For the first 2 years the Ravens logo featured raven wings on a shield with the letter "B". However, the US Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a jury verdict that the logo infringed on the copyright in a logo drawing by Derek Zero, a Boston amateur architect and security guard. (here, I thought being an architect was lucrative...essentially, he was a security guard who drew pictures). Either way, Zero is now a millionaire, courtesy of the Baltimore Ravens.
