can't wait to hear the explanation of why no flag was thrown after Bryant ran onto the field without his helmet...  3 blown non-calls on the same play.

Twitter's ablaze...

Congratulations, NFL.  Your dream of Dallas and Jerry being in the Superbowl is proceeding as you desired it to.

They still eill not make it.

and here they admit making yet another mistake in that same game:

supposedly the officials were told to give the Cowboys all these breaks for ratings . . . dubious here of that, but then I think the Packers will do away with them this weekend anyways.

The Lions got the short end for sure.

Disgraceful.  I can't even write about it. 

Go Pack Go!

Wow.

The NFL got what they wanted...  Romo vs. Rogers.

Wind-chills into the minus teens...  It'll be a stone-handed, foible-ridden affair, with virtually nothing happening.  Ballys is giving Dallas 6... with the over/under at 52.5, which is too high.

That's ridiculous.

Agreed.  The smart money is walking-away from it.  Especially since game-time temps are now forecasted to be 15-20 warmer...

Patriots beat the Ravens yesterday, 35-31.  It was not a boring game. 

Seahawks beat the Panthers 31-17.  That game never got interesting.

The first half was close.

Green Bay beat Dallas 26-21

Indianapolis beat Denver 24-13

Just so you young people know.   

LOL, the GB head coach finally won a challenge today against Dallas on a key call - that was just sooooooooo karmatic or something.

Meh, I'm biased, but I think either team would've had hell to pay facing the Seahawks next week, but I guess now it's going to be Green Bay facing the hell up here.

The *other* game next week - Colts at Pats, I'm leaning toward Indy but not sure enough to make a pick yet. Anybody else care to speculate?

Colts are a 20/1 right now.  Their D is just too weak.  NE is a toss-up with me.  I can't see Seattle getting beat.
