I've long thought that Championship Sunday would make for a better party than Super Bowl Sunday. Obviously you get two presumably good games, which means double the time to gorge yourself on food and booze. You would eliminate some of the guests who ask tons of questions because the Super Bowl is the only time they watch football. Also, you don't have to worry about getting told to quiet down or shushed during the commercials by your friend's girlfriend because they aren't Super Bowl commercials. I'm definitely throwing a Championship Sunday party next year.
I'm changing things up a bit this week and going with some vintage pics of the cheerleaders of the four teams left in the NFL Playoffs. Not only is it fun to look way back, the oldest pic in the group is from 1992, but I've nearly burned through all the current pics. Besides, some of these are from 2005, so we're not exactly talking about sepia toned photos.
The lines for the games are out and despite playing at home, Atlanta is a four point underdog. That completely makes sense after the way they played and the way the 49ers played last weekend. The Falcons needed a miracle ending and the Niners completely dominated Green Bay. In the AFC, the Patriots are a nine point favorite over Baltimore. Enjoy the games.
Taj Gibson’s Monster Dunk Sent Announcer Stacey King Back to 2005
The Chicago Bulls held the Atlanta Hawks to 58 points last night. Atlanta had 5 points in the second quarter and 20 at the half. They barely beat the all time record for first half futility, which is held by the Clippers when they had 19 to start a game back in 1999.
A game like that is boring. It's boring for the players, the fans and the announcers. Maybe that's why former Chicago player and current Chicago color guy Stacey King lost his shit the way he did after Taj Gibson one step dunked on Atlanta's Anthony Tolliver. But it's not just that King loses his mind, that's what homer color guys do on local NBA broadcasts, but it's stuff he says. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO POST VIDEOS TO FACEBOOK?' Um, yes, a four year old can do that. 'W W W MY FACE DOT COM!' Who says the three Ws anymore? Oh Stacey King, stay wonderful, if not current.
