Conference Championship Weekend Picks

3:19 am EST January 17th, 2009 | Sports | 8 Comments

Caveat: With the exception of a Steelers win, every other outcome makes me sick. And even if the Steelers wins, certain bloggers will be insufferable. Also: who knew Tom Brady and Jason Campbell would both have the same workload at this time of the season?

Ravens over Steelers

The crime ridden city with the inferiority complex is likely to be delighted by this outcome. Ballmer lives to roast their crabs another day.

Eagles over Cardinals

Nobody really wins here. Either a sorry football city gets their team in (I’ve been to two games in AZ and felt like the ‘Skins were the home team) or Philly wins. Philly.

Ick. NFLFAIL.

But still by far the best game in town, right Eagles cheerleader?

Right.

    “to roast their crabs”

    For shame O-dub. I hereby revoke your Marylander status. You _boil_ them. Then tear them apart and dip them in drawn butter. Mmm.

    But yeah, I’m not to thrilled about these four teams. I’ll cheer for Pittsburgh I guess. Maybe for Arizona since it would be just so weird to see them win it all.

    I’m allergic to shellfish, so that’s my excuse for ignorance regarding the prep…

    to paraphrase Atrios, fly, local professional sports franchise, fly.

    I’m pulling for either Arizona or Philly to win it all (sorry NFC rival OW). I like seeing maligned underdogs give a big eff you to critics.

    Steelers all the way.

    I’d bet on the Steelers. I’m going to cheer for Arizona though, just because it would prove that there’s something deeply wrong with the NFL this season.

    I’d love to see Pittsburgh v. Philadelphia for the championship of Pennsylvania.

    Well, maybe Jay can take comfort in the fact that, at least this Sunday, the white guy from Arizona with the crazy wife was able to beat the black guy from Chicago, Illinois.
