Jets vs Patriots

Credit where credit is due: Stolen Borrowed from Nigel Buggers on Facebook who probably borrowed it from somebody else who probably . . .



And, I'm still standing by my "P" bowl prediction of no birds and Pittsburgh vs Packers.

Life outside of football

Yes folks, there is life outside of football. For all of you misguided football fans out there who are going to have your dreams crushed today, I present to you the world greatest hobby. Saturday (I would not miss football Sunday) the boys and I went to a trade show for model trains, cars and yes, even airplanes. Though the feature was clearly model trains.


























William is actually looking at the subway section of one of the larger displays.









If you are interested, this is the longer version of video taken by us at the show...



Afterwards, we purchased some great yet inexpensive toys to commemorate our outing.

We do not have a model train set that we can set up (not for lack of interest, but rather lack of space) so we purchased something else more immediately useful...

(ignore the short attention span neighbor kid talking about dinosaurs)





Good luck to all the NFL playoff football teams and fans playing today and remember...

There is life outside of football so take time to enjoy it.

Until next time...

Be good. Do well. Have fun.

NFL Playoffs - What we've learned...

San Diego's December hot streaks, as they always do, end in January.















Maybe they just need some pro bowl caliber players...

















Oh wait, they already have at least one...



The Jets believe in Destiny.






















Isn't it ironic that the team the colts fell down to at the end of the regular season and basically allowed entry into the playoffs is now their opponent for the conference championship.

No worries though. Indy has shown, more than once that they only need about 15 minutes of football to beat just about anybody.

Apparently this fan did not get the uniformity memo.


















Something tells me that this is not a Dan Snyder franchise or stadium event....
Hmmmm....


The Saints Smothered the Cardinals.















Fantasy Football fans everywhere are pulling their hair out wondering why Reggie Bush couldn't play like that during the regular season.







If he keeps attacking the line and lanes like that, he just might be a worthy fantasy pick next year.


And it only took Brees 3 quarters of real QB playing time to achieve what most QB only dream about.







He basically just handed the ball off during most of the 4th quarter...

And the Vikings (always the Fashion Divas)
















spanked the Cowboys (who also end tend to end winning streaks in winter)


My prediction for the winners this weekend....

Colts and Saints.

Sorry Sam.

AFL New York Jets

Next in my review of the AFL 50th anniversary teams is the New York Jets, AKA Titans.

When I went out to the Jets site, I saw the team banner, ticket ad and a picture of Kerry Rhodes.

OK so, yes Rhodes is a great player. Funny, I would not have thought of him as the feature player to put on the banner, but hey, defense wins championships and he is one of the best at what he does.

An article about Leon Washington still a no-show for the team activities. Maybe that is why he does not get top billing...

A to be expected article about training camp starting up and all the hopeful expectations.

Everything else was about the Flight Crew. The Flight Crew of course being the Cheerleaders.

The next big thing was the new stadium and a really cool 3D interactive representation of the yet to be completed stadium. The headline being that the fans deserve a championship stadium. Certainly the prices were championship prices.

Speaking of the fans. The Jets had an interesting page for die hard fans who are away on travel and or at an away city. On this page, you could find all the Jets Friendly Bars and night spots for viewing Jets Games.

Other than that there was nothing.

No big time widgets...

No big time 50th anniversary web page...

No really interesting topicality...
(maybe they should sign MV, after all, the other NY team got TO and all the attention that goes along with him!)

So,
I give 1/2 a thumb for their retro 50th anniversary uniform
and a 1/2 thumb for their lame web site.

Next up Oakland Raiders!
