COUNTDOWN TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP BEGINS!

Sunday night is looming on the horizon....while I look forward to the game, I do so with some trepidation. In a past life, I covered the Eagles professionally, and went through the three straight trips to the NFC Championship games with only one win. In each of those years, I was aware of the mounting injuries and the toll they were taking on the team. And unfortunately, I see some parallels with those Eagle teams in the Giants heading to Sunday in Green Bay. The secondary is banged up, No Shockey...and a team which many feel has overachieved and played their hearts out to get to this point. While a win would be great, I can't say I'm booking a trip to Arizona based on my confidence level.

I can't leave the Dallas game behind without a comment on the Dalls post-game antics. T.O. should be nominated for an Oscar - he's better than Johnny Depp. And Wade Phillips' comments Monday show why he's such a lousy coach...he's a great regular season coach, but playoffs are another story.
Another thought...do you think Romo and Jessica would have gone to Mexico if Parcells was still running the show? I think we all know the answer to that one...
