Who dat! Going to the Super Bowl?

Share

Judging by the ratings Sunday's AFC and NFC title games were some of the most watched non Super Bowl games in 30 years. And with the great story lines coming in, it is hard to argue with that.
I'll say Peyton's great comeback against the Jets was great and was topped by the great game that finished the night. I'll say the Saints and Vikings delivered more twists and turns than Road America race track in Elkhart Lake, Wis. (That means a lot!)
I'll have to say it was right here where I correctly picked the winners of both games. My first perfect week of the playoffs. Yeah, it was a rough one. But when it mattered most I came though.
I'd have to say I was pretty happy to see the Saints win probably more than Peyton and the Colts. Almost because that win almost seemed like a no-brainer.  But the Saints, with that certain quarterback playing for the Vikings had a bit of a story to go against and a damn good team.
I am alone in being tired of the Katrina story? Now I'm all for getting the city back together and the people being happy, but that was about four years ago. Maybe it's because instead of talking about talent on the team, everything is about the people of the city. I feel like we got to know more about the PLAYERS  on the Vikings as much as we did the PEOPLE of New Orleans. Guess that's just a gripe I have with media.


January 26 is also a pretty special day. It is the birthdate of one Bob Uecker, aka "Mr. Baseball" aka the voice of MY Milwaukee Brewers. The man has spent 55 years in baseball. The 2010 season will be his 29th as play-by-play man of the Brewers and turned 75 today.
Yeah, I'd have to say he is back in rare form. I was a bit critical of him a couple years ago. He had been calling such a bad team he just let his stories take over the game. Then when the Brewers started winning, he had to find a good mix. Well, he's figured it out and is back on point.
I'm sorry for doubting you. I loved Mr. Belvadere! Haha. That pic above, by the way, is from a couple years back. There was a furry convention at the same hotel the Brewers were staying at. Comedy ensued on the air that day, too.
A couple rare baseball facts for you, he caught the game that made Warren Spahn the winningest left handed pitcher in MLB history. Also, he's a career .200 hitter. That would be why he jokes about his on-field shortcomings all the time.
He's a good pitchman....


Alright, a bit of a random video here. But hey, this is quite funny. Note to the City of Grand Forks.


Alright, time for the Nussie Hunter portion of the show. Andy Roddick fell this morning in the Aussie Open. With the loss I couldn't help but think of his wife and how much she must feel bad. Yeah, when it's none other than SI swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, you think about this sort of thing... Check it!
