IDYFT NFL Playoffs Pick 'Em: Conference Championships

The visitors took 3 of 4 in the Divisional Round in defiance of published statistics. Ravens over Titans was the closest (and best) game, Cards over Panthers the most surprising, Eagles over Giants the most dramatically compelling. The Steelers took care of their home-cookin', roasting up some braised rump roast a la Nerfneck Turner.

Fire Nerf Turner! He sucks! Having that wrinkled neck in charge of a team as talented as the Chargers is a fucking crime. 77-95 lifetime record. Four playoff wins in eleven years? Fire Nerf Turner!

Why do I hate Nerf Turner so much? Because Nerf Turner sucks! Fire Nerf Turner!

He sucks!

There are only nine hours of football left. And then we'll go seven months without it. Soak up these last few games, ladies and germs. Because after football is over, we won't have anything to cheer for except this girl in the RC Cola Dash held in Bell Buckle, TN.
I'm serious, that really is a girl. WARNING: RC Cola contains testosterone. And fried cheese.

I also predict the Steelers will win via a questionable call by the officials. Poor Titans.

I desperately want the Buzzsaw to win, but I think Fitz will have a little more difficulty against the Philly d-backs and I'm really liking the Philly blitz against the obelisk that is Kurt Warner.

Desperately wanting the Cardinals to win is like pissing yourself to stay warm on a cold night.

Muumuuman said...

Sounds like you speak from experience.

Andrew Wice said...

Let me just say that if you poop yourself, it stays warm longer.

But not much longer.

Wow. You should have your own discovery channel show, Jew vs Wild.

Half-Jew vs. Half-Wild, perhaps.

For example, I could challenge a dog to chess.

Andrew's math is discounting both the draft and the Free Agent window, which are both more fun than watching The Bears and The Lions play, which I ended up doing a lot of this year.
