Actually, what Dan Dierdorf said was, "That Shawne Merriman is a pass-rushin' son of a gun," after Merriman pressured Peyton Manning into throwing an incomplete pass on a 4th down with just 2 minutes to play. That Dan Dierdorf is a one hell of a football analyst. And what a wordsmith! With LaDainaian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates on the sidelines for much of the game, and back-up quarterback Billy Volek leading San Diego on their winning touchdown drive because of a second-half injury to Philip Rivers, one wonders how they'll compete against the mighty Patriots:
"We're prepared for everybody," [Bill Belichick] said. "As we saw today, any number of players could be in the game."
He seems like he would be a lot of fun at parties, doesn't he? The Chief will unleash his acerbic wit on this weekend's divisional playoff games tomorrow morning in the Monday Suck-Off, but before I wrap up the weekend shift, did you notice the common theme of the winners? They all had two-word location names. Just as Nostradamus predicted. What will be the common theme for next week's winners? I bet it's that I hate them with the fire of a thousand suns. -KD

Did someone do a brainswitch with the Manning brothers?
Also, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TERRELL OWENS CRIED
I think we're all missing the real tragedy here, which is that New England now has a bye into the super bowl.
Merriman looks happy there.
Do you think he'll be sad next week when the Pats are doing the lights out dance in the middle of the field with the Lamar Hunt Trophy?
I prefer Joe Buck's commentary on Romo after a particularly solid first down run: "There are just some guys that really know how to play this game."
Being professional football players and all…I'd hope more than a few know how to play the game.
Mmmm, Just saw his profile on millionaire dating site W e a l t h yR o m a n c e.c o m last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship he is looking for on that site.
Bob, I think you’re onto something. I smell a conspiracy between Peyton and Eli.
I say Eli wanted to help his brother out by giving him more vacation time by doing what he does best (tossing interceptions late in the 4th when his team’s down), and Peyton wanted to see Romo cry like a bitch (which my entire game party crew pointed out he started doing late in the game) and finally see the Giants beat somebody worthwhile this year.
Looks like they both got what they wanted. So, a belated Merry Christmas to the Mannings?
Though, I have a sad feeling that Elisha will not be able to lead the Giants over Green Bay. Well, today was a minor victory.
Sorry. Rob, Bob, same thing around here. Whatever, you know it’s you.
As a lifelong Packer fan, I've had to endure many trials and tribulations.
Morbid obesity, lifelong Packer fans… the 80's.
One of the sweet sweet payoffs of this year, as in a decade ago, has been reading with mounting glee all of the impotent rage spewing from the haters. KD, looking in your direction, Tiger. You'd think Chicagoans would be used to impotence after lifetimes spent in that rotting cesspool of a blight on my fair Midwest, inexplicably chasing the dragon that is NYC.
Chin up fellas, there's always the
BullsBlackhawksCubsthriving theater arts scene.Can we talk about Joe Buck and the Cowboy-Giant Game. Here's a guy who kissed Tony Romo's ass non-stop for 3 hours. And he must have brought up the Jessica Simpson thing at least 5 times. Also, they should just do away with all sportscasters who use the word "Scamper"
As a huge Colts fan it hurts em to say, but Merriman completely and utterly OWNED Tony Ugoh…ugh…I'm going to go choke a hobo to death now or somethin…
