Oh yeah - I forgot that the playoffs are national.
Still, I might just tape the game and go silent for the day. We'll have to see what my AM reception is like surrounded by computers. (It hasn't been there in the past, but I could bring in a separate radio...)
And shades of Yancy Thigpen circa 1995! According to this(Green Bay Press-Gazette), Green Bay mayor Jim Schmitt will have Nathan Poole as a guest in his Lambeau skybox on Sunday...and the local sports FM station is putting together a big ol' thank-you card and gift basket.
Oh, and the gimmick wager between the GB and Seattle mayors: 1 pound of salmon to Green Bay for each point of the Packers' margin of victory. If by some hellish turn it's the other way around...same gimmick to Seattle, but cheese instead. Oh, and the losing mayor must include a city shirt.

Minnesota and Lambeau unless you were in a bar with the Direct TV package.
This season I discovered the awesomeness of sitting at the bar in front of 6 TV's on a Sunday afternoon drinking beer, eating Mexican food, and watching football.

Ah ha ha, I love this. I'll throw in some bath soaps if Poole wears a Randy Moss jersey while in the box.
Poole has a guaranteed new job if he ever gets cut by the Cardinals.
Rob asks Dave and Ric if they want to go backstage to play Hungry Hungry Hippos and Flair and Batista immediately bail. Flair wants to be Green. Man, EVERYBODY wants to be green. Except the girl in the commercials. She wanted to be pink. That either means that the ad agency was sexist or that she was communist. Of course Hungry Hungry Hippos is a rather capitalist game isnt it? No self respecting communist would play Hungry Hungry Hippos. Except Stalin. He LOVED Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Or your own living room with the NFL package.
We had GB/denver on one tv, Oak/SD on the other, and with about 7 mins to go, we switched from Oak/SD to Min/AZ on the second TV, and man, that was one wild game. I had MN in my pool, but I was so praying for AZ to come through for the win. That was a great game, with a great comeback finish, and a great storybook finish to get the Pack into the playoffs.
I know what Farve is going through right now. After that MNF game, I know he will be able to focus and take all the greif and anger and depression and whatnot and channel focus it and tear-up the opposition.
If any of you have HBO, you HAVE to watch Inside the NFL this week. Dave McGinnis' post-game speech is awesome. Of course, I couldn't quite shake ESPN's Bill Simmons poking fun at him from their 2002 Highlight Video, but man, that was some good stuff. Seems like a real nice guy, and hopefully, he'll get another shot somewhere else.

SOME HELLISH TURN? YOUR Seattle Seahawks will vanquish like the great shining knight that shines... or something. Damn all you Packers fans! Bring on the cheese!

I hate this whole situation. Normally, America likes an underdog, but the damned Packers have the whole Favre's dad died thing going for them... I seem to be on an island rooting on YOUR Seattle Seahawks (and yes, they are yours till the end of time!) against the blight-ridden, damnable Packer menace. Mike Holmgren shall prevail!
James: Don't worry, you're not the only one. Your Seattle Seahawks are the only team in the NFC side of the playoffs that I could find even tolerable as a champion. Yes, a time has come where it isn't good to be a Bucs fan... I HATE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE NFC PLAYOFFS.
Philadelphia? Bleargh.
St. Louis? DIE DIE DIE
Green Bay? L-U-C-K-Y
Dallas? O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D
Carolina? We won't even go there.
Go Seahawks :)

Please?
You are not alone James. I live in Chicago, I have lived here my entire life. Thus I am genetically programmed to hate the Packers with every fiber of my being. I hope the Seahawks score a million billion points on the Pack and humiliate them so badly that the franchise decides to fold and never play football again. Damn Packers.

Actually, they have cut him 4 times already! They keep bringing him back due to injuries
