Well I stopped watching Morphy's on the fantasy channel and switched to the reality show called NFL Super Bowl tournament.
So far two exciting finishes and one blow out. Amazing loss of composure in Cinci to give Pittsburgh the win. My favorite sight in the Viking Seattle game was watching Bud Grant, at 88 years of age, come out in a golf shirt to do the coin toss at -6F as if it was the 1960's in the old Met stadium. When Bud Grant moved his coaching staff in 1967 from Winnipeg and the CFL to the NFL so did my football viewing habits. Tough loss for the Vikes. Should be more good games to come.

Well next week should be good for entertainment. Any news on Roethlisberger's shoulder? If he is not playing, Denver gets a free pass.

Some interesting injury developments will make for closer games this weekend. Gronk is out I hear and Ben has his sore throwing shoulder. Carolina is looking good. Arizona and Seattle should be the closest game I think. Get your drinks and chips and have a good football weekend. Its too cold to be outside here, so i am watching the games.

My oh my that has got to be the most exciting last quarter of any game-ever. Well you would never expect two games in one season to end favorably on hail Mary throws for GB and it didn't. But what drama. Hopefully tomorrows games are as good.

That certainly wasn't the packer team from three weeks ago. Wow what a game, wish the outcome would have been different but that is why they play the game. Hats off to both teams , definetly one for the record books!!!

I was at the Patriots/Chiefs game yesterday, another good game. I have to say the many Chief fans in attendance were very colorfully dressed with full headdress and all, what a classy bunch of fans and very friendly. Wish some of the Patriots fans were that classy.
I never thought I'd say this, but GO PITTSBURG!

I love KC,but couldn't believe how open Gronkowski was. All KC defenders looked like lil boys in size next to him. Go Denver!.

Broncos and Carolina would be a great match up. Go Broncos since the Bears have been DOA

Well the w/e is here. My prognostications, since my Raiders like the Bears, are dead in the water, can be said without bias. Well OK I like the Patriots too. NE beats wimpy armed Manning and gets revenge, sort of, on the other Manning. Even the threat of snow confuses Carson Palmer and Carolina gets to sing like Neil Diamond all the way to Super Bowl Sunday. But most of all hopefully both games are as interesting as GB vs Arizona was.

Gotta go with Denver as Cold Pizza says. Also can't believe the points given NC. Somebody in LV must know something I don't know.
