Leggie- Conference Confidence. Signing In

Well, the Legend improbable run continues. After Freebones dominance last year, I expected him to give me a better wild card week. I never expected the Dell to fold over Brad Childress style. I expect to be ranting against Lem-T this week - giving him advice on baby poop, daiper rash, and the milk "let down", but I've got another chance to take on the Hawkskskds. We've both had good years Hands, but it needs to end here. It's my year of destiny.

1. I love the Saints over the Bears in Chi-town!!! Much like Hansdsdfsdsfd's run this season, the Bears luck is bound to run out. I started out the season making the bold claim that the Bears were cocky coming into the season, making wierd draft picks and having a general aura of cockiness about them. They've had a great season despite their smug, muskrat-like GM, and soft spoken head master who kind of reminds me of a coaching version of Tim Duncan (sure he's good, but jsut shoot me if I have to watch him, in this case at press conferences. No one has ever said less in so many words in that much time). All of the Bear's ugly fans are going to be disappointed that they bought those tickets to Miami when the Saints and Pats are playing. On the other side of the ball, I love the Saints after watching last weeks game. I've always like Brees, and add that running game, the complex upfield blocking scheme, the quick scrappy defense, an intuitive punter, and the "it" factor they have this year, and I think this will be a sound win for the Saints. I'll take the Saints in Soldier field by 12. And so the Bears start thier offseason at about 5:20 on Sunday. Mark my words now Bears fans, if the Bears can go out and get Byron Leftwich (who is available and would be a perfect fit), I'll not only buy his Bears jersey but I will root for him all next year. Here's to dreaming. Until then, a pompous group will trot out a shell of a QB and expect to win a Superbowl. Man am I in a bad mood today or what? Saints by 12

2. I love the Pats over the Colts!!!! Lost in the midst of all of the hoopla this week is the fact that Peyton Manning has been pretty bad in the playoffs this year. We used to blame every Colt for not help Peyton out enough, but the savior thus far has been Bob Sanders. Here's the catch though, Bob basically stuffed the run and kept Gonzalez in check against the Cheifs. Well done Bob. Bob basically stuffed Jamal Lewis and manned the middle against the Ravens who don't have great outside speed. Now he's got to face the Pats. Are you gonna commit to the run against the Pats? Are you going to rough up Ben Watson and leave the flats open for Faulk or Dillon? What is Bob Sanders going to do when Brady picks on Nick Harper like he did Drayton Florence with Jabar Gaffney on the out-route? There are two many looks and there is no quarterback except for Peyton that safeties want to face less than Brady. I promise you that Brady will make them run all game. Now, I know what you're going to say: Isn't Peyton going to destroy the Pats secondary, Hobbs, Hawkins, Samuel, Sanders? Well, how confident are you after watching his last two games? And remember, the Pats own the Colts in Indy. From Williw Mcginnest sacking Peyton pushing him out of field goal range (Brady would've thrown it away) to Bruschi stuffing Edgerrin James four times on the one inch line to win the game in 03. Just admit it fellas, the Pats deserve this one. They are the better team with the better QB. I'll take the Pats by 1, winning on an Adam Vinatieri missed field goal.

Peace
