Stroll Down the NFL Boulevard 2008 Championship weekend

Stroll down the NFL Boulevard 2008 Conference Championship

And then there were 2. We started with 32 but that was 19 weeks ago. It is kind of sad right? Well we had to weed out the pretenders like the Raiders, the Chiefs, the Packers and the Cowgirls. Then we got to the payoff of the season the Playoffs, and then we still had some teams that thought the best thing was to just get to there. Say goodbye to you, Atlanta, Miami, Indy, and the WCNYFG. Expo let’s get to it.

First up we will head to Ari-Freaking-Zona to find a game for the birds. The Eagles and Cardinals turned into a magical battle. After the Cardinals scored 3 touchdowns in the first half, we were worried that the real Cardinals would show up and then the second half started. Donovan McNabb started the second half by passing the ball and having his receivers drop it, all but Eagles tight end Brent Celek. Then during a Cardinal possession in the third quarter Donovan was heard singing to the receiver coach on the sidelines “A tisket, a taskat another drop by Hank Baskett” “If this continues, do you know what will happen? We will lose another championship game.” So even with all the dropped passes the Eagles tried to make a game of it and did actually take the lead on a touchdown pass that could be possibly be the best catch we have ever seen. Did you see it? DeSean Jackson tapped the ball up (While Sprinting down the field) batted it off his facemask, then juggled it again, then finally got it in his hands, then ran into the endzone. In the second half the Eagles scored 19 points in 8 minutes (It would have been 20 but David Ackers missed an extra point) while the Cardinals well… became the Cardinals again 12 plays for 24 yards and 3 punts. Very nice… Not!!! So just when we knew that the Eagles were going to Superbowl they turned back into the Eagles of old and allowed Kurt Warner to drive for the winning touchdown and the Cardinals Win the game. Did you hear that? The Cardinals win the game. Thanks you for nothing Philadelphia, you gave us Freedom Hall, the Liberty Bell and a record in NFC Championship games like no other, 1 and 4. You deserve far less than anything we could give you but here’s this week’s Birth canal Team of the week.
Final Score the Beagles 25 the Cardinals 32. Oh my Lord the Freaking Cardinals are in the Superbowl.

Up next we get the AFC Championship game. This game turned into what could be described a defensive battle. This was the third time that the Ravens and Steelers had met this year and this game was just like the others, a hard hitting game with lots of punishment being doled out on both sides. There is nothing like the site of punter running out on the field to determine field position to make us giddy with excitement. Not much else to say except the site of Sam Koch running on the field to punt the ball is going to drive us crazy. 7 times on the end of 15 Raven drives Koch did come out and put his talents on display. But seeing Mitch Berger was not much better. Watching him finish off a Pittsburg drive 7 out of 14 times was just about as boring. We mean we enjoying watching a skills competition as much as the next guy, but come on… There were only 6 scoring drives in all. Not too spectacular if you ask us. Defense is one thing but this was more like watching Sisyphus push his rock up the hill, never quite getting to the top. But like a good boy we tuned in just to find out what happens. Hey, Lima Sweed, (Pittsburg Receiver) God don’t like ugly. Your hit was something that you probably learned from Hines Ward and you see where he ended up right? On the sidelines hurt. We are all for hard hits but the blind shot block is just short of Chicken S***. But that doesn’t even get close to the Biggest Chicken S*** moment of the game. That goes to the wonderful Stadium announcers. Just a tip for you… When there is a player down and the trainer is out checking him out. STOP PLAYING MUSIC!!! There is no need to have rock concert to break out. We guess there is nothing like being laid out on the ground with “Down on the Corner” blasting on every speaker… Horrendous, insensitive, incredulous, are the words that come to mind. Just a tip for all the kids out there strolling, keep you head up at all times, weather you delivering a blow, or running with the ball, or trying to walk through a hallway in high school. Well we were bored again by a Steelers game, we wish that a team with a little more personality was going to the Super Bowl.
Final Score the Ravens 14 the Steelers 23. Quote the Ravens nevermore, this season…

Okay so well there it is. One more game and we have two weeks to get ready. Get all your plans in order, invite the friends over, this is going to be great. The Steelers against the Cardinals, is that what we really wanted to see? We don’t think so. But it is what we have. So at least we can get ready for the commercials right?


And remember like we always say…




A-tisket a-tasket
A brown-and-yellow basket
I send a letter to my mommie
On the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes, on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And put it in her pocket
She was truckin' on down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She was peck, peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the ground
She took it, she took it
My yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it backI think that I will die
A-tisket a-tasket
I lost my yellow basket
And if that girlie don't return it
I don't know what I'll do
(Was it red?) No, no, no, no
(Was it brown?) No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?) No, no, no, no
Just a little yellow basket
