I really hate the Pats...(Part Duex)

Well the jagoff Pats beat the Bolts 21-12 this afternoon in the AFC Championship, sending them to the Super Bowl...again...

God do I hate these guys...

I figured that LT was a man and wanted to play football in the biggest game of his life, but apparently I assumed wrong. Unless his knee was falling apart at the seams, there is absolutely no excuse not to play. His replacements did admirably but let's face it, none of them are LT.

The sideline kept reporting that the coaching staff was keeping him out - if that's the case, someone needs to take Norv Turner out back and get rid of him...Old Yeller style...

Anyway, Brady played like crap and still managed to win, mostly because the Chargers couldn't find the endzone with a flashlight and a map...4 field goals against the Pats just ain't gonna do it.

In the NFC, the Giants stunned the Packers at Lambuea Field, 23-20 in OT. The Giants' kicker, Larry Tynes did everything in his power to blow the game for the G-Men, but in the end, it was his leg that carried them to the Super Bowl. He nailed the game winning 47 yard field goal in OT, just minutes after missing two much closer chances pretty badly.

It's a shame Favre had to end the season throwing a pick like he did (his pick lead to Tynes FG), but something tells me the old man will be back for one more go round next season...

We also had a reader (actually a family of readers) at the game in Green Bay, and they snapped a few pics for us from their vantage point...one was on the sidelines (thanks Mr. D.) and one was in a luxury box (thanks Deez)....

Enjoy!

So it's the Pats vs. the Giants in the Super Bowl. Not exactly who I expected, but I guess the G-Men have as good a chance as any of those poopy NFC teams...

I can't believe what is about to spew out of my mouth, but because of my disdain for the Pats here it is -

Go Giants...

Snack's Pick of the Week...

So who will be Snack's first Pick of the Week?

I like our Steelers against the Bengals giving them 3-4 points depending on who you ask, however I never like to bet with or against them so for now we'll leave them out of this discussion.

I also like the Giants giving 10 to the Dolphins. With Brandon Jacobs running well and what seems to be a new-and-improved Eli Manning, they should run all over Joey Porter and his cumps in London. But with all the travel and time changes and whatknot I don't feel comfortable making this the POTW.

And now, with the first pick in the 2007 Big Snack POTW contest, Snack takes....

The JACKSONVILLE JAGS...

They're playing the surprising Tampa Bay Bucs, who are rallying behind the Hugh Hefner of the NFL, Jeff Garcia...and the Bucs are actually favored by four in this game. I feel with the complete lack of a running game in Tampa, that big, physical D of the Jags will be able to pin their ears back and slam that old man around...The Jags O, while no juggernaut themselves, can be very efficient against a defense whose best days may be behind it. I not only think they Jags will beat the spread, I think they will wint the game, we'll say something like 21-17. I doubt it will be a high scoring affair with two stingy D's, but the over-under is a very, very low 32 points. I'd bet over too, seeing as it's rare to get games scoring less then 32, but this could very well be a 13-7 type game...We'll see how I fare tomorrow afternoon....

PS: Let's not forget that Snack is a crappy gambler, so unless his advice happens to reinforce an earlier belief about a game, PNA recommends you stay as far away from his bets as possible.
