A Dedication to Eli...

…Because who knows when we'll ever write anything good about him ever again

A Manning is in the Super Bowl two years in a row. We just thought Peyton would repeat. But the Little Eli that Could and the rest of the New York Giants (yes, even you, Lawrence Tynes!) defeated Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers, 23-20 in the NFC Championship. Eli was cool, calm and collected in leading his team to the Big Game while mighty Brett Favre choked and single-handedly blew it for his team. Let’s repeat, in case it never happens again: Brett = Really Bad, Eli = Really good!

Fortunately for the rosy Tom Coughlin, the Super Bowl will be played in Glendale, Arizona and not in the North Pole. Queries for Tom Coughlin’s frostbitten face are so popular on the internet that Google and Yahoo! are unable to run the search.

Two Words, Tommy: SKI MASK

Victory and Looks…to “boot”

Is Tom Brady’s ankle sprained that badly? How will it affect him in the big game? And what designer made his cowboy boots?! (He was just messin’ with us.) Those are the questions we ask ourselves after the New England Patriots’ victory over the San Diego Not-So-Charged, 21-12. Philip Rivers and LT didn’t do much. Despite having more scoring drives, all San Diego could come up with were field goals. So Phil was less than average, but we give him props for trying, especially since he had knee surgery seven days beforehand, which is more than we can say for LT. Had they not been so beat up, the Chargers would have probably won the AFC Championship, especially since Tom Brady decided to suck ass that day. (Was Bridget Moynahan in the house?) Oh well, at least Norv Turner is doing SOMETHING, which is more than we can say for his tenure at Washington.

Their Swag is Phenomemal…even without the Hibachi
Without Gilbert Arenas, the Washington Wizards continued their magical play, second in the Southeast division behind the Orlando Magic and fourth in the East. They’re not just beating any old team, they’re beating actual contenders, like the Celts and the Mavs. They’re so good, it prompted Fenella’s friend to text her, demanding the Wiz be tested for drugs. It’s still the ugly gold jerseys – works 90% of the time! We hope that they continue to play like they did against the Boston Celtics, and not against the New York Knicks. We would also like to take this opportunity to once again state how much we hate Queen James and the Cavs.

UNC is number one no longer after a stunning upset loss to fellow-ACCers Maryland Terrapins....
But at least Tyler Hansbrough can dunk on someone who is 7’7”!

No “Love” for UCLA, or O.J. Mayo
Across the country, Trojan fans rejoiced as ONCE AGAIN USC prevailed over crosstown rivals UCLA …this time in basketball. Super Freshman OJ Mayo helped his team over Kevin Love and the Bruins. Of course, when your namesake/USC alum is currently in a Vegas jail, it only seems natural to follow suit, as NCAA is investigating OJ’s courtside seat appearance at the Lakers-Nuggets game, given to him by his “friend” and Denver Nuggets Forward Carmelo Anthony. We think they're making a little too big a deal over it. They've known each other since middle school! For a college freshman, that's like...half his life! And coach said so.

Another Corny Andrea Joke
Fenella: so apparently tony romo dumped jessica!
Andrea: i did NOT hear about tony dumping her
where did u get that from?
Fenella: extra mustard on sportsillustrated.com
Andrea: ahh....i bet he got pressured
get it?!
"pressured"
i crack myself up!

Cue Fenella shaking her head...
