kicking it....

week 1 of the nfl playoffs has ended and, thank god, a kicker actually made a clutch field goal (and even in the rain). i'm a big fantasy football guy and, must i say it, a vikings fan, so i'm not overly interested in who wins the games - i'm just looking for an entertaining game to watch.

today wasn't too bad - gotta love seeing both nyc teams lose. not gonna lie to any of you east coasters, but everyone here in minnesota would have a hard time choosing what is more fun - watching our team win or any of your overpriced teams lose. so seeing the j-e-t-s and g-men packing up for the year in a way made my day.

i don't feel too much differently about 'america's team' yesterday. believe me, this is good for the nfl. the only people that want to see any more of jeremy shockey or terrell owens this year is, well, either jeremy shockey, terrell owens, or half crazy. i'd rather see the good stories - shaun alexander, jeff garcia, tom brady -- and that's what we'll get next week.
