I'm not going to comment on the 49ers game. For a few reasons...
- I was in Texas. TEXAS. The Skins game was on at the same time as the Dallas vs. Eagles game. What do you think is going to be on in a bar in Texas? They don't really care for Redskins down there. (although they were very nice to me)
- It was over a week ago.. I can't really remember what I did last night. Events that happened a week ago are doomed to be forgotten.
- We lost.
- I cried.
- We could have won. Just like every other game we've lost... we should have won it. ugh.
- It was the last game. So depressing.
The Superbowl.
San Diego Chargers
Who would have thought that they would have pulled that off?? Honestly I love the Chargers. If I had been born on the west coast I would be a huge Chargers fan (I do have my allegiances though, being born on the east coast and pledging my football love the the Redskins) So just say the Chargers are my number 2 team (and if you're curious I also love the Broncos... and for some reason I started to like the Jets this year but we all know how farve they went. I know, bad joke. Damn). Annnyways. The 8-8 Chargers just took Peyton and the 9 game winning streak Colts out of contention. And although I've read that Sproles (whose new nickname should be mighty mouse or something more creative along those lines) was exhausted and will be sitting in a tub of ice all week, they looked amazing doing it. They looked tireless and unstoppable. and they did it all, even overtime, without their star LaDainian for the whole second half. I think this deserves a Wow; maybe even a Whoa (think like Joey from Blossom). This is not a one dimensional team. Even their 25th ranked defense looked good. It was the Colts who were getting frustrated and making the flags fly. The Chargers kept their cool and because of that they also kept their hopes alive for the ring all players yearn for.
But the big question now is... Can they beat the Steelers? Not only that but can they beat them without home field advantage (I cringe at the thought of the terrible towels that the wretched Pittsburgh fans love so much. Actually I cringe at the thought of Pittsburgh fans regardless of towels, I hate them). Will the Chargers offense be enough against the impenetrable Steelers defense? The answer... I have no idea. I know, what a shitty answer. But anything can happen (also an obvious) and I cannot WAIT for this game this Sunday. I know I'll be cheering for Rivers, Sproles, Gates and LaDainian to come through in the clutch because if they can put points on the board, I personally don't think that the Steelers will know what hit them. The Chargers have always been underrated. I just hope they can keep it together. I would love to see this team in the Superbowl.
Honorable mention
The Philadelphia Eagles. Well freagin done Eagles. I was rootin for them to win and win they did. The interceptions and blocks were incredible and there were a lot of them. The Eagles defense was ridiculous. Their offense was amazing too. McNabb was definitely in the zone and (side note) he is so adorable when he's giddy like a 5 year old. I hope they can stay healthy and take another Manning out of contention on Sunday. They are completely capable of beating the mighty mighty G-Men (I hate that name) and yes I do think that the Eagles have the look and feel of the Giants of '08. Meaning (what else?...) Superbowl contenders. In honor of the NFC East, I hope they do it. I believe that our conference was the most difficult and talent ridden conference this year and it would be nice to have one of us in the Superbowl. Another side note: Thank God it's not Dallas. I could never cheer for those Cowgirls.
