Championship Weekend
We are now down to 4 teams left. This is the Championship weekend.
The divisional weekend was crazy exciting, can’t wait for the recap. I went 2-2
on my picks, which I’m ok with, being that I refuse to pick the Pats and I’m
glad that the Panthers won. Let’s jump right into the recap.
Chiefs @ Patriots 20-27
The score makes it look like it was a close game but it
really wasn’t in my opinion. I’m sorry the Chiefs weren’t able to knock off the
Pats but I’m not surprised either. I’m beginning to the think that Gronk isn’t
really human, not like I actually believe in greek gods but the guy reminds me
of Thor… Just wish he played for the Giants, that’s all.
Packers @ Cardinals 20-26 OT
This game though… wow. I mean, where do I start? This was a
GREAT game especially if you didn’t have a dog in the fight. The Cardinals
thought they had it won but then Aaron Rodgers, for the second time THIS
SEASON, threw a hail mary pass for a touchdown to tie the game at the end of
regulation. Then the coin didn’t flip
during the coin toss so the ref flipped it again and the Cardinals got the
ball. Larry Fitzgerald then pretty much played like Larry and won the game.
Epic game. Super tough to watch if you are a Packers fan, but a hell of a game
regardless.
Seahawks @ Panthers 31-24
Before this game came on I had decided to root for the
Panthers even though I had picked the Seahawks to win. I put my Panthers
t-shirt on and settled in. the first half was ALL Carolina. At one point I
thought every child in the stadium was going to get a ball just because they
seemed to be scoring at will, and whenever the Panthers scored a kid would get
a ball. The first kid’s face was priceless, google it. (I’d probably make the same face as an adult
if I was in the same position). The Seahawks mounted a pretty epic comeback but
ran out of time, which was pretty great news for the Panthers.
Steelers @ Broncos 16-23
I had a wardrobe change after the Panthers game and put on
my Peyton Manning jersey for good measure.
So glad Peyton is back and so, so glad the Broncos beat the Steelers. It
was a great end to a great weekend
CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND
Sunday January 24th
Patriots @ Broncos [3:05pm CBS]
MANNING VS BRADY for what may be the last time in football
history. In listening to sports radio all week they are saying the Broncos
don’t even stand a chance at beating the Patriots. I have the dumb and dumber
mentality in saying “so you’re telling me there IS a chance” I’ve painted my
nails (they are orange and blue with little broncos on every finger), and I am
wearing my#18 Manning jersey and my Broncos hat. I’m ready for this game. I
just hope the Broncos are too. My friend Mike (who is a Patriots fan) says that
the Patriots are going to win 28-27. I
don’t have it in my heart to pick against Peyton in which I hope it’s not the
last game of his career. I’m going with the Broncos, even though I’ll be more
surprised if I’m right. GO DENVER!!!!!
Cardinals @ Panthers [6:40pm FOX]
This is the first time in NFL history where two QB Heismen
trophy winners will head off in a championship game, Palmer and Newton. I’m pulling
for Carolina for obvious reasons, the only question I have is do I wear my
Panthers t-shirt or my Jake Delhomme jersey? GO PANTHERS.
Thanks for the edit Mom!!!!!
