NFL- The Winners of the NFC and AFC Championship Games Will Be........

I have to hurry and get this posted and get on record for my picks in today's games, the last TRUE football weekend of the season. Super Bowls don't count; it's a day for people who know zilch about football to party their asses off, sort of like New Year's Eve is for "amateurs", as Jackie Gleason used to say.

OK, very quickly.....it's going to be Green Bay over the Bears, 35-17, and the Jets over Pittsburgh, 24-20. The wins will have nothing to do with Aaron Rodgers or Mark Sanchez having great games.

No, they will win because God wants them to. Trust me on this one.

I went to Mass at 12:00PM.....the priest was wearing green vestments. And so was every Catholic priest in the United States, and throughout the world. Think green!

They must have some inside info.....God willing.

Of course, I'm wearing my old #28 Curtis Martin jersey as I type this. And no, the priest this morning had no number on the back of his green vestments.

But he did sound a helluva lot like Rex Ryan.

Sunday Dawns Foggy In North Texas While I Ready Fajitas To Watch Seattle Beat Chicago On Their Way To The Super Bowl

The Ides of the first month of the New Year dawns late with the ground covered in wetness from last night's downpours and fog making a haze of the view into the distance, which you can sort of see from the view from the window I am currently looking out.

On a happier note, it is currently 13 degrees above freezing.

I did not stay up all that late Saturday night, but, for some reason, I got up later this Sunday morning than any time in recent memory, as in, my eyes did not open to the dawn of this Sunday til well after it dawned. As in, past 8 o'clock.

It feels borderline scandalous to sleep in in this manner.

It is now almost 9 am. I have just a few hours to get my Football Fajita Feeding ready to watch the Seattle Seahawks beat the Chicago Bears so that the Seahawks can play in the AFC Championship Game. Which apparently will be a home field advantage game for Seattle, if I understood what I was reading correctly.

All Seattle has to do is win today, and then one more game and then they will be visiting here in Texas to play in the Super Bowl in the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium where the Dallas Cowboys are not allowed to play in the Super Bowl.

In anticipation of an exciting day of football, I guess I will go swimming now, out in the fog.
