Watching the Cowboys game last week, I was surprised to be so ambivalent over seeing Brett play for the vikes. I can say he's just another opposing QB now(although a darned good one...)

THE PLAYOFF PROCESS CONTINUES

ITS NATURAL SELECTION AT ITS BEST

AS THE WEAKER TEAMS ARE ELIMINATED

WHILE THE STRONGEST PASS THE TEST

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FRESH FROM THEIR WIN OVER GREEN BAY

THE CARDINALS RAN HEADLONG INTO NEW ORLEANS

WHERE THE SAINTS ADMINISTERED A BEATING

THAT NEARLY COULD HAVE BEEN CALLED OBSCENE

LIKEWISE THE MIGHTY DALLAS COWBOYS

RODE BRAVELY INTO THE METRODOME

WHERE BRETT FAVRE UNLEASHED AN OFFENSIVE STORM

SHOWING WHY THE VIKINGS DONT LOSE AT HOME

THE SAINTS ARE NOW WAITING FOR THE VIKES

WHOLL COME TO VISIT SUNDAY AFTERNOON

EACH TEAM IS READY AND WILLING FOR THIS GAME

THAT TO THEM CANT COME TOO SOON

BOTH QUARTERBACKS ARE RANKED AMONG THE BEST

WHILE THE REST OF THEIR TEAMS ARENT FAR BEHIND

THE SCORE HERE COULD BE SO BIG AND CLOSE

ON WHICH COACH HAS THE MOST CREATIVE MIND

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SOMEHOW SAN DIEGOS CHARGERS MADE THE MISTAKE

OF LETTING A LESSER OPPONENT HANG AROUND

AND SURE ENOUGH WITH GOOD RUNNING AND DEFENSE

THE JETS PULLED THE FAVORITES TO THE GROUND

THE RAVENS THOUGHT THEY HAD RESON TO BELIEVE

THAT THEY MIGHT GET TO PEYTON MANNING

BUT WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

FOUND THE WAY TO BE THE LAST TEAM STANDING

THIS WEEK ITS THE COLTS AGAINST THE NEW YORK JETS

IN A GAME THAT SEEMINGLY SHOULD BE ONE SIDED

AS A ROOKIE QUARTERBACK GOES AGAINST PEYTON MANNING

WITH A BERTH IN THE BIG GAME TO BE DECIDED

NO MATTER HOW ROMANTIC IT MIGHT SEEM TO BE

TO SEE A RETURN BY THE JETS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS ARE JUST TOO GOOD

TO EVEN CONSIDER THE JETS AS PEERS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE COLTS SHOULD HARDLY BREAK A SWEAT

AS THEY SEND THE JETS CRASHING TO THE GROUND

WHILE SANCHEZ AND HIS TEAM MAY MAKE IT A GAME

ITS INDIANAPOLIS WHO IS GOING TO WIN THIS ROUND

THE VIKINGS HAVE BEEN TO FOUR SUPER BOWLS

WHILE THE SAINTS HAVENT MANAGED A TRIP AS YET

THOUGH FAVRE AND THE VIKES MIGHT BE THE FAVORITE

ITS ON NEW ORLEANS THAT YOU SHOULD BET
