ok, let me preface this my saying, i am not claiming to be an NFL expert, but merely a sports fan sharing her opinion. For some reason this seemed like the perfect day to basically sit and watch football all day, except for the dosing in and out, and the occasional burst of energy off the couch to eat some food!
Today was the day for the underdog.
Now, of course all of these teams earned themselves spots in the playoffs, so by no means are we talking David v. Goliath here, but none the less there is always a favorite in a game. I always like to cheer for the underdog, it seems to feel so good to watch people raise up and conquer. Although these men all make plenty of money to play, I do believe that some of them are still kids at heart and play for the love of the game (i am sure the paycheck doesn't hurt). A friend of Drew's (that he played high school football with) is a kicker for the Chargers. I always tend to jump on that teams bandwagon. Ironic that he played for the Colts 2 years ago... So it was very rewarding to see them upset Indy. To see the Giants run on to the field after the game with smiles from ear to ear really does bring back some of the "wholesomeness" to the game (is football even supposed to be wholesome? probably not...) Interesting how both these teams played last week. Maybe that first round bye isnt all its cracked up to be. anyway, maybe Eli will get his turn to shine this year. Down with Peyton, maybe 2008 belongs to Eli.
