Now that's how they should play football in January.

That was certainly an eventful first half. 2nd half's been pretty boring.

I knew the second it started snowing Seattle would screw it up. They can't do **** in the snow. The whole city shuts down when they get one inch of the stuff.

In fairness to the players, I think Holmgren has been a major downer lately. Maybe it's all media hype (in which case - does the local media have some sort of ties to Wisconsin I'm not aware of.) In the last week, all I've heard is about how he wants to retire ASAP and open a bookstore. What, he couldn't hold off on the "I've lost the drive" speech until the season was ACTUALLY over? If it's had my brain pondering his motives this week - and I try to avoid football news whenever possible - I just wonder what it did to the team.

Oh, and it doesn't take an inch around here. We just need to smell it in the air and panic sets in.

I knew Green Bay would win. I didn't see any football today as I had a game of my own. Seattle has always sucked in the cold, and Green Bay wins at Green Bay in the playoffs.

They need to bring the Hawks back to Spokane for spring training, only make it happen in early February. We'd whip their asses into shape- they'd be able to play at the North Pole by the time they were finished.

And get a motivated coach.

Running backs were definitely the story of the day yesterday.

And me thinks perhaps Jacksonville spent too much of their defensive effort covering Moss. Sure, you shut him down, but...

Two home team lost today? Unheard of in the playoffs (well, almost - I think the home team wins around 75% of the time).

Even though I despise Eli Manning, I'm glad the Giants won - it gives Green Bay the home field next weekend, where it will be tough to come in and win. I want to see Green Bay go. How can you not love Favre?

Should be good football next week. The predicted high for Green Bay is 4. In Foxboro, it's 15.

O'course, I remember the old Viking games at Metropolitan Stadium back when Bud Grant wouldn't allow heaters on the sidelines. Now, that was football.
