My takes on the NFL's wild card weekend

Call me when Randy actually drops his pants

Maybe it's just me, but I think Randy's post-TD celebration yesterday is funny.

You know that the venom spewed from Packers fans towards Moss over the years can't be printed in the local newspaper nor broadcast on Fox without tripping the FCC meter. So don't get holier than though with me about what he did.

And don't get me started on the people saying that it was horrible on the Fox broadcast and then Fox making it the first thing that they showed on the post-game show.

You insult my intelligence by doing that.

If media heads and the NFL really wanted this stuff to stop, then they'd treat it like the streakers on the field and cut away from it immediately and not give these guys the air time that they crave.

I want Eric Barton to pick my lottery numbers for me

On second thought, he's probably used up all his luck for a while.

Dude, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

Drew Brees is throwing up a bigger prayer than Joe Public dreaming of getting inside Lindsay Lohan's pants and you decide to club him upside the head with your forearm?

Lucky.

That's all I can say about that.

It was a priviledge to watch Chad Pennington

I thought the guy had a deader arm than Pedro in the 8th?

And I know everyone will say that Marty's post-season incompetance takes away from the Chad answering the call about not being able to win the big game.

But I wonder if people will say the same thing should the Jets upset another bad playoff head coach who has a rookie QB calling the signals?

Bottom line, Pennington had one heck of a game. That bomb to Santana Moss was a thing of beauty. And they certainly played to win the game.

Memo to the Denver Broncos:

The next time you feel the need to say ANYTHING about the Colts, don't.

Not unless you like getting rookie CBs burnt on national TV.

Now the big question is can BB and Romeo come up a scheme to slow down the new "Greatest Show on Turf"? I have a feeling that the Patriots offense will need to be able to win the time of possession battle if the Patriots are going to win this game. Especially with Ty Law out, the rest of the Pats secondary being beat up, and the new "no touch" rules in the passing game and it will be interesting to see if Peyton and the boys can take their electrifying passing game and win in New England or not. Especially since BB and company would have had the extra week to gameplan.

Is this the end of Brett Favre as world beater?

Brett Favre is a Hall of Fame QB. Of that, there should be no doubt.

The only question now is how good will Brett Favre be in 2005? Or even if he'll play in 2005.

You know the Cheeseheads don't want to ask those questions. But they have to after Brett's 4 INT and 1 boneheaded play showing yesterday at home against Vikings.

And another question, what happened to the whole mystique of Lambeau Field?

Do I have to comment on the Rams-Seahawks game?

Since I should, may I say that Rod Gardner would fit right in with the rest of the Seahawks WRs that can't seem to catch a cold.

And I wonder if the Falcons are a little more nervous about next week's game than they were on Friday?

Personally, I think they should be. That Rams team on turf and in a dome should at least keep Jim Mora Jr. and his defensive staff up late this week.
