THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS DID IT!!!!!!!
They won the NFL AFC Championship Game today 21 - 12 versus the San Diego Chargers (sorry Papa Ed) to advance to their fourth Super Bowl in seven years! Quarterback Tom Brady could have been better (Tom what's with the 3 interceptions!), but the defense rocked expecially the usual suspect linebackers. So now on to Arizona and Super Bowl XLII!!!!
Of course they are taking on the New York Giants who defeated the Green Bay Packers in overtime 23 - 20. Can anyone say rematch? Yes the Pats are going to play the same team they did to go 16 - 0 to see if they can match the 1972 Miami Dolphins feat of going through the regular season and post-season undefeated. They already have become now the first team to win 18 games in a season!
I know many don't want it to happen, but it must! We'll all find out February 3 in Arizona! Question is since Stefan and I are going to Florida then do I bring my new rally monkey (that Stefan gave me for my birthday and was critical in the 4th quarter) along with my Patriots jersey so I make sure ALL lucky items are with me for the game when we watch it at Stefan's brother Andy's house???!!!
Congrats to the Pats!!!

The New England Patriots did it!!!!!!! 16 - 0 Season!!!! Now on to the playoffs!!! Congrats to the WHOLE team!!!! A respectful handshake to the New York Giants for a tough 38 - 35 game! If you had to have a game with such a record (as well as Tom Brady's touchdown pass, Randy Moss' touchdown catches, and the most points by a team in a season) on the line, I was VERY happy to see such an iconic game! If Ellis Hobbs had not gotten that interception away from Eli Manning the score would have been different.
Now for the very un-butch photo of Sean celebrating after the final second ticked away!

Well my Pats won again! The New England Patriots so far are doing well again this year. So many though the Pittsburgh Steelers would take them down this week (including Las Vegas), but in the end it was a pretty easy game in the second half. Tom Brady got over 400 yards again this season, became the 3rd all time leader of touchdowns in a season, and just was brilliant as always. Ben Roethlisberger had a pretty good game though for the Steelers. Hats off to him. But the Patriot machine keeps rolling along at 13 - 0. Hopefully this posting doesn't jinx it!
