2009 Conference Championships Recap
Colts over Jets.
Well, yes. Philly.com did a fun “10 things about the…” for each of the games. I still think that the thing that was the most amazing about this game was that the Jets managed to hang in there for the first half. Hell, they were leading at halftime. Of course, they didn’t score another point. But still, rookie QB? Not bad.
2009 Conference Championships Picks
Saints/Vikings – Everyone’s all “Brett Favre’s got the experience” and “Jared Allen’s a monster” and “Adrian Peterson’s occasionally able to hang on to the ball” and whatnot. But they’re playing the NFC Championship Game in the Superdome for the first time EVER. And the Saints have in some cases almost single-handedly been holding Crescent City together since Hurricane Katrina. And they are NOT going to let their fans down now.
To quote my friend Joanne:
Vikings Fight Song: Correction, This is what it sounds like when doves cry
So the artist formerly known as “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince” has decided to put together a little fight song to get the Vikings nation all riled up for Sunday’s NFC Championship game with the Saints. If you haven’t heard it yet, let me assure that if this is what Brett and company crank up to get riled up for the game, they may as well forfeit now. Think of Prince’s tribute as old negro spiritual meets 2×4 across the frontal lobe. It is, in a word, crap. It should come with a disclaimer that says “no animals were hurt in the making of this tune.” But you don’t have to take my word for it. Just give it a listen.
Saints Vs. Vikings Playoff Preview: Cuz Payback’s a Brees
“Vikings, Dat Who!”
Those three little words have haunted me ever since January 3, 1988. I was just a young lass, cheering on the Saints in their first playoff game. The team got off to a great start, but fizzled fast. My dad convinced me to hold on to hope. He believed the Saints could pull off a comeback victory against the Vikings, despite going down 20 points at the half. But the ass whoopin’ didn’t let up. The Saints lost the game 44-10. The last thing I remembered, before running to my bedroom for a good cry, was a sign being hoisted over the head of some jack-hole. It read: “Vikings, Dat Who!” It was a direct jab at the throat of all us Saints fans and our beloved “Who Dat” saying. Needless to say, I took it personally.
2009 Divisional Weekend Recap
Damn, it hurts not being able to write about the Eagles this weekend.
So another 4 games – another 3 dull blow outs.
Well, that’s not *strictly* true.
