There Can Be Only One.............

..........


So we come down to one (meaningful) NFL game left, perhaps you've heard about it- THE SUPER BOWL- and there remains two weeks of every possible angle to the game dissected by every self appointed football expert in the world.

I will hold off on my thoughts for now, and let the results of the weekend sink in.

Philly is a better team than Atlanta, that much is not up for argument. I will write these words here so my bud can see it written in virtual stone- I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE EAGLES DEFENSE. They outplayed Atlanta and managed to hold Mike Vick to warp three instead of a nine or ten. Atlanta never really got the running game going, and their defense never managed to get a big stop or turnover when it counted. And Donovan McNabb put the naysayers to rest as he slayed the NFC Championship game demons, and put his team over the top and in to the Super Bowl. It really looked as if McNabb was in complete control of the game from the first snap on, and Atlanta never forced him in to making any bad decisions. Just wait until he meets a Belichick playoff defense....

Speaking of, The Pats MANHANDLED the Steelers, and as my previous prediction noted, Pittsburgh was forced to rely on Roethelsomthingburger to come from behind and things got ugly in a hurry. The Pats went up 10-0 in the first five minutes of the game, and then Big Ben began to self destruct as Belichicks defense kicked in. Pittsburgh made a few second half runs to get close, but were never able to stop Brady when they needed to, and Dillon was able to pound away while they ran out the clock.

More thoughts on the Big game to come later, but for now I will post a thought or two for my Mom and the other poor folks caught up in the blizzard of 2005 in the northeast.....

I. Don't. Miss. It. At. All.

This looks like fun, doesn't it?

It's supposed to reach the high 50's this week in Nashville. Just thought I'd share that.
