Thankfully everyone on board the plane lived so that is good news. However, the families of the birds should be preparing a strong lawsuit.

I hate Crazy Train. The opening, no problem. The fucking playing during the verse, a massive pain. The only other song I can't get down besides Crazy Train is Sweet Home Alabama live, for the same damn reason. I love this game though more than Rock Band 2, which I don't why I just didn't like in the demos I played. I guess later I can still get Rock Band 2 for the songs thanks to the GH controller working but eh, so far not interested. But the adrenaline rush from hitting one of the songs 100% is pretty sweet, especially if it's a song you like. Can't wait for the Guitar Hero: Metallica game. Need to play me some Enter Sandman and Sad but True.

I'd rather people are aware of it now than to be crying when you see the trailer. It's just as hilariously horrible looking as one might have assumed it was going to look. It's even more depressing if you see Hard Boiled then see the trailer to Dragonball.

Proof once again that if God does exist, they have a morbid sense of humor.

Chow is about to be in Dragonball, his career in American Cinema has already suffered enough damage.

I think Austin has made it clear he won't work with Hogan because it doesn't serve him to lose to Hulk, and Hulk will want Austin to lose. Austin seems willing to come back to put over a younger guy but that seems to be it. I guess I'm the only one who was a little bit stunned to see the Crippler Crossface not only broken out by Michaels but hearing Cole openly call it the Crippler Crossface. Years later or not, that still feels like one of those moves that just needs to be forever shelved in the WWE.

What happens to Crank 2 if they go under?!?! The world needs more insanely over the top Jason Staham action flicks.

Well, if Mikey S wanted an established AFC team that has all the talented pieces waiting with a potentially dangerous running back then it just became open. As much as I used to loathe the Colts, I never disliked Tony Dungy. Always thought he was one of the best if not the best coach in the NFL.

While the experience is true, Big Ben has not went a playoffs without throwing at least 3 interceptions. And with the streak of interceptions the Ravens defense is on, that could be trouble. TD to INT ratio in the postseason, including the Charger game: 12 touchdowns to 11 interceptions I'm not saying he will get picked off, I'm just saying Big Ben has had that problem in the playoffs.

Kurt already prays to Tebow every night before he goes to bed. I'm shocked his wife hasn't trash talked yet, she was pretty good at that when he was on the Rams. And Giants. Nothing says tough NFL player like having your wife do your talking for you.

Selling out an NFC title game doesn't say much about the passion and excitement of the Arizona fans. Says a lot about the passion and excitement of their bandwagon refilling with the mid season jumpers though. All I want to know is if the Eagles lose, does Donovan have to once again "regain the confidence and support" of the Philly fans or can he just tell them to kiss his ass and leave?

If any two teams can top that physical battle, it's the final throwdown between the Ravens and Steelers. Especially with the trip to the Super Bowl on the line. I don't know which of the two teams is going to win this one, I'd lean more towards the Steelers since I know Flacco is going to act like a rookie again here soon and this is the defense that can make him do it. But if he stays within himself (continues to just Dilfer it this postseason, nice and safe without doing too much) and the ground game works then I could see the Ravens winning it. I just know I want to see some brutal, hard hitting, old school smash mouth football. Keep delivering Ravens and Steelers, keep delivering. Knowing that, watch it be a damn blowout or a offensive shootout.

Come on, everybody loved "Young Guns". As for rap and westerns not mixing, obviously you forget the 1988 Kool Moe Dee song "Wild Wild West". Take a western thing, turn it into a song about gangs, keep in the noise of six shooters and presto!

Maybe those 2 limo drivers can find a better place in TNA. New tag team champions, THE LIMO DRIVERS!

I actually spent more time saying, "That guy was on Stargate SG1" than anything. I was a little disappointed with the first two episodes but I think I could get into it. Just nothing much happened in these first two. We'll see how hours three and four go, maybe they will pick up some steam. I'll watch the whole season and I can accept a slow build so we'll see.

Arizona vs Philly. For a trip to the Super Bowl. In Arizona. Wow.

Come now, that's really not fair. He had the best QB rating of any QB still in the playoffs going into the game, and that lead would've gone even higher if you discount his chokejob in the 06 NFC title game. ...which means he's had 2 awful postseason games in a row. oh god my favorite team is quarterbacked by an amalgam of Brett Favre and Tony Romo, and we don't have a first-round pick this year. 15/35, 196 yards, 1-3 17/34, 205 yards, 1-5 When that is your lines for your last two playoff starts, it might be the end for you. The thing I noticed with Delhomme is he'll stare down the receiver and then throw blindly towards the spot even if he knows the guy is covered. So he doesn't look off the safeties, he just flings it. Then when the game is firmly on his shoulders, he starts forcing even more balls into bad spots. It's increasingly strange since in the regular season, he DOESN'T DO ANY OF THAT! Two touchdowns and 8 interceptions with 50% or less completion percentage. Both to NFC West teams. Man Jake, just man.

So the Ravens are basically the 2001 Patriots? The Play Clock Game doesn't roll off the tongue like the Tuck Game though. Basically yeah. Although the tuck rule proved to be an actual rule. The "play clock can expire for two seconds in a playoff game on a pivotal drive with third down" I doubt is an actual rule. And if it is, there are going to be a lot of pissed fans. Plus the Pats screwed over the Raiders and ended up facing the "Stupidest coach on turf" in the Super Bowl. About the only people pissed were the Raider fans I believe and they still can't accept it's a rule to this day. Either game though should be a good one. Ravens vs Chargers will be Phillip Rivers against Ed Reed and I look forward to that. Ravens vs Steelers well, that will just be part 3. I know though this next game Flacco is going to make a mistake. He's a rookie and eventually the jitters hit and Trent Dilfer becomes Elvis Grbac. It's just the way it is going to go.

So the Titans got the game ripped away on a few fronts. The refs screwed em on that one call which we will probably learn more about tomorrow. But you know, Flacco made some decent throws when he had too. And I know people are saying he's just Trent Dilfer but for a rookie quarterback, being Trent Dilfer is a GOOD thing. Don't try to do too much, don't turn the ball over, make a big throw when one is needed. Matt Ryan tried to be more than Trent Dilfer against Arizona, how'd that work out? And I'm not counting his pass to Heap as one of the big throws cause I don't know what the play would have been following an the delay. If it's the same play with the same coverage then that would have still been a 12 yard gain so same result but I'll discount it. The 9 yard out to Clayton and the deep ball to Mason were good throws. But he didn't have anywhere NEAR as much to do with that win as the Ravens defense. Ripped out two fumbles, picked one and just overall had a bend don't break style. Like Bill Cowher said, the Titans had chances and they failed to capitalize. They pulled a Sooners on the goal line and got bounced. But I don't think anyone is going to sing the praises of Flacco other than he's doing what you want from a rookie in a big game. Still, if I'm the Titans I'm beyond pissed and unless there is another reason like the officials have a different clock on the field than that clock then I don't know what to say other than "wow, you guys got hosed." I'll tell you this much right now Raven fans, you have officially become fans of the team everyone is going to want eliminated from the playoffs. Not because you are dangerous, but because there is now going to be a feeling of you cheated. Granted the Ravens didn't cheat but they benefited from the blown call so welcome to hatredville. Arizona vs Panthers...Jake Delhomme turned into Playoff Jake again.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!?! RC doing a great job on Steve Smith. I would have NEVER guessed he would shut him out in the first half. Never in a million years.

So Arizona decided to take the last five games of the regular season off and then suddenly wake up in the playoffs against two of the hottest teams? I can't fault it right now with it, you know, working. Taking the points also seems like a good plan when you have momentum and your defense is playing so well. A fourth down stop by the Panthers and they are re-ignited. Also, I decided to watch the interview with Derrick Mason. He said "you know" about 70 times in the span of five questions. A wordsmith he is not.

Didn't USC have a public assraping of Penn State, the team that defeated Ohio State? An Ohio State team Texas needed a amazing fourth quarter drive to defeat? The problem this season is all four of these teams have a claim. Utah went undefeated and hammered the second best team in the crowned best conference. USC lost to an Oregon State team that was no slouch and then beat everyone in their path much like Florida. Florida just slapped Oklahoma in the mouth for an entire half and walked out with the BCS title. Texas, well they defeated Oklahoma and their only defeat was to a top 10 team on a final drive. The problem is, well Texas had their case severely hurt by Penn State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma. Unfairly but their case really really got shredded. About the only way Texas was getting a serious claim from the voters was if Oklahoma won. Oklahoma did not. Maybe they get a claim if Texas Tech holds up in their bowl. Tech did not. That left a USC struggle against the Lions, that certainly didn't happen. In the eyes of the voters, I'd say UNFAIRLY that the weakest case now belongs to Texas. Do they still have a case? Absolutely they have one. Is it strong anymore? No chance in hell.

USC will get votes, Texas won't get as many because the whole Big 12 as a group got slapped (and the win over Ohio State wasn't decisive) this bowl season, and Utah may get one pity vote but that is about it. Florida will get the AP because well, they love Tim Tebow and Florida.

That broadcast was unbearable. I have never grown to HATE a player as much as Fox made me hate Tim Tebow. It was like in their mind, NO ONE else on Florida won that game. No, it was alllll Tim Tebow. The greatness that is Tim Tebow. After awhile I was expecting, "It's first and Tebow here from the Tebow 40, Tebow drops back to pass and finds Tebow! TEBOW! TEBOW!" It's really unfair to him cause he is a great college player but I now know I can NEVER watch another broadcast on Fox that involves him. It's like ESPN and USC, you just know now going in what you can expect. Overall in terms of games that were supposed to end the controversy, this wasn't it. The interceptions were not great plays, they were just sloppy throws, poor reads or just bad hands. The Florida defense won this game hands down for the Gators. Oklahoma failing to get points on those two red zone possessions in the first half ended it. Congrats to the Gators on winning the "National Championship". ETA: Also, the final standings according to the talking heads on ESPN Herb #1 Florida #2 USC #3 Texas #4 Oklahoma #5 Utah Corso #1 USC #2 Florida #3 Texas #4 Oklahoma #5 Utah

I will say Florida's goal line defense is OUTSTANDING. Two turnovers forced last two times. Right now the defenses are bending like crazy but they are refusing to break. I doubt anyone expected a defensive showdown in the first half. So yeah in a span of less than five minutes, I changed my mind. That happens when a defense forces another red zone turnover.
