Vince:
>>Next week-end, right? Why are two teams from one division playing in the
first round? I thought that was forbidden.
Paz:
>My old favorite team the Lions could have done me the favour of beating
the
Bears so the Saints did not have to play the Rams again. Yea it seems like
they should play someone else in the first round. I think the nfl just
changes things around to keep me confused.
I was surprised too, about the divisional pairing, although pleasantly,
since playing on carpet, in a dome, like New Orlean's Superdome, is much
more to the Rams' liking with all the speed they have at the skill
positions. Like I wouldn't want to drive a Ferrari in the mud or ice
either, would you? :-) I think the pairing was strictly a "numbers
thing". NO is the 3 seed, so with the 1 and 2 seeds getting the first
round byes, NO gets paired with the last placed seed, the Rams. Usually
the best position for the higher seed - except for this year, that is.
;-) Do you have tickets for Saturday's game too, Michael? Good luck!
And good luck in the playoffs to Victor with his Bucs, and Vince with your
Fins (or do you now also like Denver because of the Jr Griese?)
>Hope everyone had a lovely holiday.
And sticking with the sports scene, yes, the Christmas day present of
watching, with friends and family all around, our Portland Blazers (the
other pro team I follow with a passion) beat those snotty Lakers, was
quite lovely! ;-)
Cheers,
Penny
