The NFL Conference Championship Food Menu
FlickrIt's time Ater's. We've been watching the playoffs since the wild cards, and the championship games are this Sunday.

Do You Remember Where You Were Thirty Years Ago Today? Gil Brandt Sure As Hell Does.

Five years ago, Chris Berman recalled the moment for ESPN. Won't watch that either. Al Michaels narrated this piece about how it was one of the Top Sports ... More >>

Yeah, But What if Tramaine Brock Had Seen Miles Austin's Fumble?
Tony Romo was gutsy last Sunday in San Francisco, but because the Cowboys lost he wasn't heroic. Jason Garrett should be fired for his insane 3rd-and-2 play call in the final minute that led to the loss to the 49ers. Dan Bailey might be a former NFL kicker. Jesse Holley is just a ... More >>

Cowboys-49ers: Look Out Below!
Okay, so the Cowboys were better than I expected in last week's NFL opener. But don't be fooled, the San Francisco 49ers weren't as good as it seems. Seems strange to be sniffing around an Under point-total play in a game between teams that scored a combined 57 in Week 1, but hear me out. W ... More >>

Dallas Cowboys' Draft Needs: How About a Safe(ty) Pick
Enough of this asinine stuff about "best player available." What if, somehow, at No. 9 in April's NFL Draft that player happens to be a tight end? A weakside linebacker? A punter?
