Two great teams advance to the Superbowl. Yes, my friends, it was a day for football.

Game #1, in which Philidelphia breaks the curse and wins it's first NFC championship on it's fourth consecutive try, was a blowout. Atlanta never had a chance. Vick is a great quarterback, and certainly deserves props for his outstanding play all season, but he could not get his team going against the Eagles. Phili had a simple and effective gameplan: shut down Vick and the Falcons running game, and the rest will come. And so it did......never even close.

Game #2, in which my team -- the Patriots -- secured another Superbowl berth and progressed one step closer to becoming an official NFL "Dynasty", was another blowout. The Steelers were lucky to beat the Jets in their previous game, barely scraping by in OT. In this game, the Pats had a simple game plan: make Ben (the Steelers QB) come up with big plays by shutting down their running game. And it worked: Ben screwed up. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for the guy. He's had an amazing season for a rookie, and he's got a very bright future ahead of him. But when you put a rookie like that in pressure situations in the post-season, they're bound to make mistakes. Hence, 3 interceptions. Game over.

Now I wait for the Superbowl, and pray to the football gods for another Patriots victory.
