NFL PLAYOFFS start today.

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Errr... Go Pats (I guess).

I really just want my wife to win her pool at work (they each get assigned a square on a grid).

I can't believe they're still called the Redskins...shouldn't they at least change their mascot to an apple or a potato or something??

All geared up to watch the Pats tonight - 12:30 am UK time. No problem as I slept until 1:00 pm this afternoon - all that Doofster celebrating last night!

Go Pats!

Same here then again I'm not a sports fan anyway. I had to play rugby for a few years in school so I have bit of an appreciation for that game. After rugby, American football seems like a bunch of sissies running around what with all that padding and those breaks every 10 seconds or so.

Although I live in Carolina, I'm pulling for the Giants and that other Manning kid from New Orleans. And I hope the Bengals take the Steelers, although I'm afraid the Bengals may have peaked about six weeks ago.

Go where? To the NFL Draft? They should be selecting early for the next several years.

Although my endorsement seems to be the kiss of death, I'll be pulling for the Seahawks from here on out. I'd like to see the Colts and Hawks in the big game (sorry Noise- although I entirely understand your antipathy towards said Colts given your Baltimore background).

Oh dear among all of my crazy beleifs, values, philosophies and conspiracies that I shouldn't have mentioned I forgot to say that I have an unparalleled hate for the sport of hockey. I'm sorry.

Good for you.

But these people are talking about football, not hockey.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

Either team could have won, but the Steelers were victorious. Nail biting last couple of minutes

Yep, a great finish in Indy. I thought for sure that fumble was going back for a touchdown. Roethlisberger saved their bacon - and Bettis' blushes - with that tackle.

Amazing finish, I actually jumped out of my chair, even though I was alone in the house! People here in Durham are pretty excited about the Panthers, but having lived so long in an area of football futility, its hard to know what to do. Go Seahawks!

Yeah, I would like to see a Steelers-Seahags Super Bowl. My mom lives in the Seattle area and my brother lived in the 'Burgh for a few years, so I have some familiarity with both places.

What a great day that was. The season's already over for me. I couldn't be any happier. Go whoever. (But I'm secretly rooting for the Steelers now. Because they did me a solid by beating the Colts. God bless 'em.)
