Thank goodness that the NFL network caved in and allowed the world to see the Patriots try to get to 16-0. I mean, who doesn't to see the Pats dominate a Giants team who has essentially nothing to play for? Ok, I'm all for giving the fans the opportunity to "witness history," and for standing up against the precedent that NFL Network would be setting by not giving in to the masses. But folks, does anybody recall that the most important thing in sports is winning a championship? The REAL historical feat is 19-0, and BELIEVE ME, that will not be on NFL Network.
The Chargers this year have had a tumultuous season under Norv Turner. Everybody was calling for his head after their terrible start, but now that they've won 5 in a row and are poised to clinch the third seed in the playoffs, those detractors have been all but silenced. This team has the same talent as their 14-2 team last year, and are beginning to really gel. Maybe this is the year that they finally win a playoff game, more than they ever did with Marty-ball. Playoffs is where great teams and great players make their mark, and this is the best chance for the Chargers yet.
It's been said so many times this year, but it demands repeating: How bout that Brett Favre! He is still better than the majority of the QBs in this league at his age, carries the torch of an entire franchise in his right hand, and is leading this Packers team into a first round bye. If there is nothing else to like about the NFL, Favre is the one thing we can all cheer about.
