This morning before the football games I read Bill Simmons' column on ESPN regarding his picks for the week. It was a day old but it also included a mini-rant on pre-game shows on TV these days. And I'm glad others feel the way I do. The quality is definitely not there, and when I do turn to the show, it's out of habit, not that I think I'll really see something interesting or informative. And I couldn't agree more about the number of former players that shuffle through the stations. Just too many talking heads these days. Many don't bring anything to production. There are other good points too, and it's pretty funny. I'd recommend it.
So it looks like the Packers won't have to travel to Dallas for the NFC championship; they get to host the Giants after NY beat the Cowboys. That's good but I'd have liked Favre to go out with a win (finally) in Dallas. Oh well. I think the Pack's quick, short passing game will match-up well against the Giants' defensive pressure.
Back to work tomorrow, and my first day (orientation) at Carmax. Looking forward to it.
