Happy Conference Championship Day!

Well, it will only be a happy day for you if you happen to root for either of the two teams who win today. For everyone else in America it means that there is only one game of football left until August, and your team sucked this year. So pop a Prozac, and crack a beer and lets get this thing started!

If you are Texans fans like us, then it also means that your team sucks at sucking. 8-8 is the worst record that a team can achieve in the NFL. Rooting for a team that has achieved absolute mediocrity is like being friends with Pat from SNL. You can’t figure out if she/he is a dude or a chick, and your mind just can’t rest until you know. Though in this case we spend our time debating “Are we good, or are we bad?” I would rather it be one or the other, even if it means losing. I mean if you are going to do something, you might as well be the best at it. Lions fans should be able to rejoice this year… They were the best losers ever! They took losing in the NFL to levels people never thought possible, and since this isn’t the NBA, They didn’t tank! (A phenomenon that we Houstonians originated by they way. You are welcome for your NBA draft lottery system.) I wouldn’t mind rooting for a bad team, because believe it or not you get a Superbowl Sunday too. It’s called the NFL draft, where suddenly your team is the best because they were the worst. Also, it would mean the Texans could fire Kubiak.

So first up today we see the unlikely matchup of the Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelpia Iggles.  I really hope this game ends up a tie, and Donovan McNabb can finally see how ties work in the playoffs. Although, I have say that the Buzzsaw that is the Arizona Cardinals has the advantage for 2 reasons. Kurt Warner has convinced Jesus to be a Cardinals fan until Tim Tebow is drafted. And Andy Reid still hasn’t figured out that it is hard to run a two minute offense, when no one can understand you because your mouth is full.   “Ok  lets run themumphrumphmumph Z out, and make sure arumphumphmumph bounds. Got it? Who stole my cheese fries Dammit!?”

Finally we have the Steelers-Ravens game. I hate the Steelers, except when they play Dallas.
