NFL Football Super Bowl 42: New York Giants vs. New England Patriots
January 21, 2008
On February 3rd in Glendale, Arizona the New York Giants will try and do the impossible by beating the undefeated New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
The conference championships on Sunday showcased some interesting match ups and unpredictable outcomes, especially in the NFC where the Giants were able to contain Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers’ running game lead by Ryan Grant.
It was another cold one at Lambeau field with the temperature being almost unbearable and near impossible to play in, but Giants quarterback Eli Manning wasn’t fazed one bit as he lead his team to the promise land and his first Super Bowl.
The AFC conference championship on the other hand ended with a the predicted outcome as the Patriots took the victory, but Phillip Rivers and the Chargers didn’t not go out without a fight; at one point it seemed the Chargers were in control and on their way to the big game in Arizona.
You would think if you can force the New England Patriots to make turnovers, you have a pretty good chance at winning the game, especially when you intercept 3 of Tom Brady’s passes. Even though the Chargers played arguably the best defense on what has become an unbeatable offense, it just wasn’t enough to end the Patriots Super Bowl campaign. Phillip Rivers was noticeably banged up (admitted he had surgery a week prior), Antonio Gates was a total non factor and LaDainian Tomlinson was only involved in 3 plays because of injury. With all this going on, I still got to give it to them; the Chargers gave the Patriots a run for their money.

NFL Playoffs: NFC Championship Green Bay Packers vs New York Giants
January 20, 2008
Last year around this time, everyone was wondering whether or not future NFL hall of famer Brett Favre should retire, most people said he should hang them up and go out as one of the toughest, passionate quarterbacks all-time, but man how he has proved everyone wrong leading his Green Bay Packers one game away from his third Super Bowl appearance.
Earlier in the NFL season, it was projected that Green Bay and the Dallas Cowboys would almost certainly be playing in the NFC Championship game, but with the impressive play by Eli Manning and his tenacious defense, the Giants are surprising everyone on their road to the Super Bowl.
Green Bay will be the obvious favorite to win Sunday’s game at a really, really cold Lambeau Field, but New York has been somewhat of an ultimate underdog by being underestimated the entire season from coach Tom Coughlin on the hot seat to questions on whether Eli could lead this team to the promise land, so you can never count these boys out, but with Brett Favre playing the best football maybe ever, it will be either an all out battle between these NFC powerhouses or a blowout much like Green Bay’s last game against the Seattle Seahawks last weekend.

January 14, 2008
Coming into Sunday’s two NFL playoff match ups with Indianapolis Colts against the San Diego Chargers and the Dallas Cowboys taking on the New York Giants, both the Colts and Cowboys were favored by at least a touchdown to win, but that was not even close to what happen in Indianapolis and Dallas when all was said and done.

NFL Football Week 12: Thanksgiving Feast for Two Elite NFL Quarterbacks
November 25, 2007
Quarterbacks Brett Favre and new comer Tony Romo were in top form once again when they took on their opponents on Thanksgiving Day. All season long, these two extremely talented quarterbacks have been going back and forth with great performances on a weekly basis with Favre showing that isn’t even close to being finished or washed up in the NFL and Tony Romo being more than ready to fill his shoes as the NFC’s top quarterback.
On Thanksgiving Day both Favre and Romo kept their winning streaks alive with Favre and his Packers going up against the Detroit Lions and Romo facing the New York Jets. Even though the Jets were coming off a big win against the Pittsburgh Steelers to play the Dallas Cowboys, Favre and the Packers definitely had the bigger challenge against the Lions and he didn’t not fail to disappoint by throwing for 381 yards and 3 touchdowns beating
Just a few hours later, Tony Romo set a team record by having the best start EVER by for the Dallas Cowboys by going 11-1 after easily putting down the New York Jets 34-3. Romo didn’t have the big day Favre did, but he still put up some good numbers throwing for 195 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The true test for both of these quarterbacks and their one loss teams will be next Thursday on November 29th when these two NFC heavyweights square off against each other. People said the Patriots vs Colts game was going to be, well I think this match up might be even better as one of these two teams will most likely be the one to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl in Arizona come February.
