Saturday’s Divisional Games
Before today’s games even started, in the CBS pregame show, it seemed like the primary topic of discussion had nothing to do with the Ravens/Colts or New Orleans/Philly games.

Before today’s games even started, in the CBS pregame show, it seemed like the primary topic of discussion had nothing to do with the Ravens/Colts or New Orleans/Philly games. Instead everyone from Charley Casserly to the studio hacks felt it necessary to discuss whether Rex Grossman will make it past the half tomorrow. I mean, I don’t like the quarterback situation either for Chicago but, come on. It’s hard enough to concentrate on today’s games without having to hear about Grossman. The Bears are favored to win although I am not sure how much comfort that gives me.
Colts @ Ravens
- Dan Dierdorf has got to be the worst color commentator in the NFL. I just cannot stand listening to that guy. I couldn’t stand him when he used to be on Monday Night Football and I still don’t like him. How many times does he have to declare something as “special”?
- Prince has apparently been assigned the task of playing the SuperBowl halftime show. I don’t really like or dislike Prince (or is that TAFKAP or that stupid symbol or whatever he calls himself today). But is Prince really the best choice for a halftime show for a football game? Wouldn’t he be better for the women’s soccer championship…in 1987?
- At least in the first half, the Colts really made the Baltimore defense look downright average.
- David Spade’s new sitcome, The Rules of Engagement, does not look funny. Do we need another married guy vs. single guy formula sitcom? I guess we do.
- I think Petyon Manning is in every other commercial.
- I’m not sure why I found myself pulling for the Colts, but I was. I really don’t like Ray Lewis (but I like Steve McNair) and maybe that plus the possible upset made the game more compelling.
- I can’t believe the number of interceptions and complete lack of touchdowns.
Eagles @ Saints
- I don’t know who Jay-Z is but, I have learned throughout this season that, he is back from wherever it was he went.
- The new UPS “whiteboard” commercials suck.
- I am glad that VW has been running the “Unpimp Your Right” ads–they are hilarious.
- Jeff Garcia is playing amazingly well and the Eagles really look like a much better team than I thought they were. I wonder, if they win, what they are going to do with Donovan McNabb?
- The Saints are clearly the feel-good story of the year. Now I need for the Bears to win so they can end the feel-good story of the year.
Well, today’s games were very entertaining and now I can really start to worry as the kickoff on the Bears game is only a matter of hours away!
