Conference championships
Jan/090
I saw a quote on Deadspin about how this is the last weekend for true football fans and I think that is pretty true. The Super Bowl doesn’t even seem like a real game. Two weeks to prepare for eachother, endless TV timeouts and a halftime show that lasts an hour. To hardcore fans the conference championships are THEIR Super Bowls, if only for the competitiveness and familiarity of the games. I don’t really know who I want to win these games. The Steelers are right up there with the Cowboys and the Yankees, I don’t root for murderers, the Eagles are a joke of a team and the Cardinals are… exactly. In the end I think it has to be the Cardinals. The NFL is screwy and has been for years. World Champion Arizona Cardinals would be the absolute icing on the cake and if it means that we have to put up with Kurt Warner doing a Joel Osteen impression during the trophy presentation so be it.
