NFL Playoffs

Thank God the Steelers lost.

Damn! Tebow-mania is REALLY gonna take off, now. Nice kid and all, but I'm rooting for the Patriots next week.

Anyway... I don't dislike the Browns just 'cause I'm a Steeler fan. But i DO dislike teams like: the Cowboys, Ravens, and..... can't think of any others right now.

That's because you are not from this area. You have to live in Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania in order to truly understand the rivalry.

I hear ya. If I was, I'd probably be caught up in that love-hate relationship. I do, however, have a pretty healthy loathing for the Dallas Cowboys. But that goes back to when they were calling themselves "America's Team". That, and their annoying little choreographed and synchronized 3-point stance on offense. Also, their joke about why their previous stadium had a hole in the roof. Hell... I could go on and on. Used to be that any team that beat the crap out of the Cowboys was ok in my book.

But going back to Cleveland, I admire you Browns fans. It takes some perseverance to remain faithful after the disappointments you've had over the years (The Drive, The Fumble, etc). Tell you what... aside from the Steelers, I wouldn't want anyone else but the Browns to win the division.

Yes, us Browns fans thrive on disappointment year after year.

We may suck, but we have the most dedicated & loyal fans around. Even though we've sucked for years, we still sellout every home game, and after we've had our hearts ripped out every season, we can't wait till it starts all over again.

And you haven't had a proper football experience until you've watched a game from The Dawg Pound. That's where I sit when I go, and it's insane.

Here's my picks for this weekend's playoffs. And I hate to say it, but I think TT has gone as far as he can, for this year at least.

New Orleans to be San Francisco by 12
New England to beat Denver by 20
Baltimore to beat Houston by 7
Green Bay to beat the Giants by 10

Looks like I'm going 0 and 1 in my picks so far. Come on Denver.

Hell THAT was a brutal ass game. Early turnovers killed em but both teams beat the piss outta each other until the end. Heartbreaker...big time. There are some seriously drunk and angry people walking around these streets tonight. Fuck!

Clearly I underestimated how much Tebow and the Broncos would suck, but that is definitely a good call on the Ravens. May need a fairly big turnaround for the Packers to win by 10 though!

So far my prediction for an all Harbaugh Super Bowl is looking very good.
