This weekend in sports was the first series of the NFL playoffs. Saturday night line-up was the Cincinnati Bengals vs. the NY Jets. This seemed to be the only good playoff game this entire weekend as the two teams battled it out till the end, but Jets took a 10 point lead. Unfortunately, after a long battle the Bengals lost mostly due to a bad FG kick early in the first half.
The second game for Saturday night was Dallas Cowboys vs the Philly Eagles. They blew Philly out of the water 34-14. Most fans blamed the coaching and wanted Michael Vick to stay in and play since Donovan McNabb seemed to not be able to produce anything that night.
The first game on Sunday was the Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots. I just loved this game, not because I enjoy watching either team. I actually despise both of them. Ravens is the lesser of the two evils though, and I would of rather seem them beat out the cocky Patriots. I always enjoy seeing Tom Brady cry at the end of a football game, or Bill Belichick throw a childish fit. Brady threw 3 interceptions and fumbled the football. During a press interview, Brady said that he would of booed the Patriots all night too. The announcers were poking fun at them stating “Who are these imposters in the Patriots uniforms.” This was by far the worse I have ever seen the Patriots.
Finally, the Arizona Cardinals gave a pecking to the Green Bay Packers. This too looked like an easy game, until the Packers came back. It was a great battle, but neither defense showed up to the game resulting in such high scores as Cardinals 51, Packers 45. It went down in history as the highest scoring playoff game. It is nothing to be proud of though.
In other news, Pete Carroll who led USC to seven Pacific 10 Conferences has agreed to take the Seattle Seahawks coaching position. The players learned through text messages from the assistant coach.
