Three players are now up. Enjoy the Super Bowl. If one goes down just refresh your browser.

Game over. See you next time

First let me say this was the best game of the year.

WATCH HIGHLIGHTS OF THE GAME HERE:

I have stated many times that I believe Donovan McNabb chokes in big games. So let me first say in the interest of fairness this was not Donovan McNabb's fault. Down 24-6 he almost produced one of the greatest post season comebacks of all time. In the end though he had the opportunity to do a legendary thing and he came up short once again. The facts are the facts 1-4 in NFC Championships and 0-1 in Super Bowls. Without question he is one of the best Quarterbacks of the past ten years and he has a lot more years left, but the reality is that for whatever the reason he can't get over the hump.

I joked in my video about his taunting the Giants by picking up their telephone that the football gods would not look kindly on this. I was joking, but I do have a belief in karma and when you are a perennial choker you might not want to chance fate.

Honestly I don't know how to fully judge this Eagles team. They had no business even making the playoffs so in that regard they exceeded expectations, but in the end they lose as a favorite again. The only way I can describe it, is they are like a guy who scores the most beautiful woman in the club, but when it is time to perform lets just say they come up a little bit short.

Direct quote from Robert Littal after the Cardinals were destroyed by the New England Patriots:

"THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE IN THE PLAYOFFS. THERE SPOT SHOULD BE REVOKED"
I forgot one of my fundamental rules when dealing with the NFL:

"ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THE NFL"

Think back to April of 2008.

Everyone thought the mother of Arizona Cardinals' fullback Terrelle Smith was delusional. Here is a woman, wraught with breast cancer, with the cells spreading to her brain, fighting every day for life, and her son is playing on the only team that has not reached a conference championship game since the AFL-NFL merger. Yet, here she is, proclaiming she saw him playing at home in the NFC Championship game.

More after the jump...

Hmmmmmmm how can I say this nicely:

Five interceptions and one fumble. I have watched a lot of playoff football in my young life and I can not remember a Quarterback playing as bad as Delhomme. I remember "God" Favre throwing six interceptions against the Rams back in the day, but this seemed even worst than that.

The Carolina marched down the field easily on their first drive and I thought the game was over. Then Delhomme channeled his inner Quincy Carter. You know something that is an insult to Quincy Carter. If you have been watching the Panthers closely this year, you should have already known that Delhomme has been average at best, but no one expected this. I don't think Delhomme will be the Quarterback for the Panthers next year. How do you come back from this?

You want to hear something crazy? If the Eagles beat the Giants which is possible the Arizona Cardinals would host the NFC Championship Game. I think people who have told you that was more unlikely at the beginning of the year than us having a Black President.

It's the semi-final round of the 2008-2009 NFL Playoffs, so you know what that means. Yes, you guessed it, Peyton Manning and the Colts have bowed out after one game after being the best QB in the regular season and LT isn't healthy enough to play. But the QB Class of the 2004 Draft is starting to help us forget about Peyton and Brady. Eli, Ben and Philip are attempting to take over the league. Here are my picks, so get your ones out and ride with me this weekend, i'm good for it.

Ravens at Titans:
This will be the revenge of Kerry Collins. I understand that the Ravens have someone named Ed Reed looking like a young Willie Mays out in Center but with a healthy Haynesworths there will be nowhere for the Ravens to run, which puts the pressure squarely on Flacco. Both defenses will be up to the task but end the end Collins will make more plays on 3rd down than Flacco to pull out the win for the Titans. Titans 13 Ravens 6.

San Diego at Pittsburgh:
Philips Rivers vs. Big Ben. I get the feeling that this might be the AFC younger version of Peyton vs. Brady sometime down the road. San Diego was one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl this year, then they lost baby Lawrence Taylor and a great D became very average. Chargers had a nice win last week against really a ok Colts team. Chargers do matchup well against Pittsburgh but their season ends here. Heinz Feild is a tough play to play, the field is suited for defense and not offense which gives the Steelers a big advantage. The Steelers are basically the AFC's Giants without a run game. You have the be able to get to Ben to beat the Steelers because he will turn it over, but the Chargers can't do that. Harrison and the boys will cool off Sproules. Steelers 17 Chargers 10
