My entire roster was boom or bust, Buckeyes or bearshit, but it was enough to get to the finals.

Man, the final is just going to be a crapshoot of who is sit and who isn't, huh?

Holy crap - I knew i was still in the game, I didn't realize I was THAT MUCH in the game. Wow - 27 points from the Cincinnati DEF? Really? 27?

If anyone's interested, nfl.com does a Playoff Challenge involving teams that made it to the postseason. 8 teams, 4 rounds. The key is to predict those teams that are going to go all the way and snag their players. We got seven other folks who haven't got enough?

So it looks like the key game is going to be the Chiefs vs Bengals. Modern Guilt's QB, WR and TE play for the Chiefs, while I have the Bengals DEF along with an RB. I hope they're happy that their game is going to matter to someone. I've scratched my TE and RB, since one is out and the other is doubtful (in a game that's meaningless for his playoff-bound team). Currently the Guilt holds a five-point advantage over me.

No Monday Night Football this week, and neither of us have a Bronco or a Charger on our squads, so we'll have this wrapped up by 8:00.

Well-played, Sex Traction, well-played, all.

I wear my crown humbly, knowing that if Destiny's Manchild had ever made any changes to his roster at all, the DMs would'a creamed us all.

There but for the grace of Matt Hasselback go I. Oh and Philly's D going titsass batshit fuckballs nuts this week. That helped too.

A fun season of pretend football indeed.

Congrats, LFM.  Yeah, the Iggles D just went OFF yesterday.

Good season, all.

Indeed - my joy at watching the Cowboys get their asses handed to them came with a price, knowing that it was shooting me in the foot. Oh well. It was a fun season. Bring on Pretend Baseball 09!

WTF, Cardinals.

Seriously.

If you beat the Eagles I shall be quite cross.  YOU ARE NOT A FRANCHISE THAT DESERVES A SUPER BOWL.

However, their quarterback is very very religious.

So this might be Christ's fault.

I don't know... apparently, until Sunday, the Cardinals are the only team in the NFC that has never been to a conference championship game. That includes three expansion teams. The case could be made that no one deserves it more.

The last time the Cardinals played in a championship game was for the NFL Championship in 1948, back when they were the Chicago Cardinals and played at Comiskey Park.  That game was also against the Eagles, who beat them by a final score of 7-0.

That's almost as long as the Cubs have gone without playing in the World Series.  Granted, the Cubs kept the same fanbase that whole time, while the Cardinals relocated twice, but it does put things in perspective somewhat.

On the other hand, the Eagles have a pretty big drought of their own.  Also, the Cardinals were still playing at Sun Devil Stadium when I was at ASU.  Having two teams play at your school's stadium means campus parking gets fucked up twice as often, so I didn't care too much for them back then.  I guess I'll just wait until the Super Bowl and root for either of them over the AFC team.

Well, shit.  Now, part of me wants to root for the Cardinals in two weeks.  Warner and Fitzgerald are going about as well as any QB-WR tandem I have ever seen.  And I always have a soft spot for long-suffering fan-bases.  Make all the jokes about non-existent Cardinals fans you want, but however few there may be, you know there are people out there who have had season tickets since the day Cardinals moved to the desert, and they've stuck with the team through years of terrible play.  THOSE people deserve to see their team win a championship.

The other part of me wants the Steelers to beat them by like 30 points.

Larry Fitz makes me happy because there's a giant receiver other than T.O. to watch now.
