Oops....He did it again!

Does Brittany Spears know Brett Favre? If not, I think it’s about time the two met, perhaps for a casual drink, or perhaps via facebook, because their worlds are a lot closer than one may think. Aren’t they both from the South? Hmmmm…….

Brett Favre doesn’t have a good history of playing well in NFC championship games. In fact, he is 1 for 4 in his career…and this past Sunday’s game was more of the same good ‘ol Favre: one mistake too many. First off, let me go on record and say that I rank Brett in my top 10 of greatest QB’s of all time. In terms of gunslingers, he is the premier example. If he played baseball, Favre would be Babe Ruth, lead the league in homers and strikeouts…..an extremely entertaining QB to watch, however also a guy who can single handedly lose any game. This was not the case this past Sunday, as the Vikings registered 5, yes 5, turnovers and lost in OT to the Saints. It wasn’t Wranglers Jean's Finest throwing picks all day, it was the fact that the Vikings just couldn’t hold onto the ball. When you turn the ball over that much, you basically give yourself no chance to win. Props to the Purple-People Eaters for even having a CHANCE to win that game with how many times they gave the ball up. And for yet one more year, we all get to play the “what’s Favre going to next season” game…..a game that I’ve come to loathe in the past few years. But I will say this, and I’m echoing Colin Cowherd’s words, in that if someone approached me at the age of 39, knowing full well that I could still at least play decent football and said “hey, we’ll give you $23 million to play for us….or you can sit at home on the couch”. Honestly, I’d probably play football too, I mean why wouldn’t you? The only thing that could deter me would be sitting back in the pocket and taking a beating….which is what the Saints did to Favre this past Sunday, which could influence his decision to retire next season, although I DON’T CARE!

By the way, I was 4 points off my score prediction for this game, and predicted the Viking’s score exactly. Just thought I’d make that known. I am awesome. Onto that, “other” game, where my prediction was not terribly far off either....

Peyton Manning…..umm, yeah I got him in my top 3 greatest QB’s of all-time….and he’s making a strong case for the G.O.A.T. The Colt’s ho-hummingly won yet another game and are now the clear favorites to win their second Super Bowl in 4 years. That makes 3 Manning appearances in the Super Bowl out of the past 4 (remember Brother Eli in 2007? I do. He should have been in “The Book of Eli” instead of Denzel Washington…just my opinion) The Jet’s played their hearts out, gotta feel for them, they even had the lead at half-time, but it just doesn’t’ matter with Peyton playing, he is the anti-Favre and is almost always mistake free and ALWAYS gives his team a chance to win, the door is just never shut with this guy. They played Miami earlier this season, had the ball for about 6 minutes the entire game and still won…..I don’t understand it, but I respect it. He’s just that good.

With that in mind, we are getting the Super Bowl that almost everyone wanted to see with the Saints and Colts. I’d like to see the Saints win one for themselves, for the city of New Orleans and just because they’ve never won one before….very similar to the Philadelphia Eagles in the never-winning-it-all department, not that I’m bringing that up or anything. My fearless forecast: Colts 42 – Saints 37. Don’t ask me how those scores will get there; just know that it will probably happen since I can predict the future when it comes to the NFL.
