NFL Championship Sunday Recap Part 1

First, I would like to apologize for not getting my picks recorded for the Conference championship, very unprofessional. Yet I can confirm I went 1-1, and have the text to prove it. However, I'm not so sure it even matters. After an 0-4 divisional weekend, I doubt anyone even cares or even worse puts money down. But I've said it once and I'll say it again: When home teams, scratch that, home favorites go 1-3, a lot of people will have bad weekends. On to the recap.

Arizona 32 Philadelphia 25

The Cards are going to the Super Bowl! Nailed it! Home favorites are one thing, but home dogs? Your almost guaranteed a cover in my view. They almost went old school Arizona cardinals and blew a 24-6 halftime lead and trailed 25-24 with 5 minutes left in the game. The 13th disciple, Kurt Warner a game clinching TD drive, sending Andy Reid and the eagles home to go shave those beards!

Quick Observations & AWCB Awards!

- The Saddam Hussein Award for Disappearing when the people who counted on you, needed you the most goes to: Brian Westbrook. 12 carries 45 yards. 2 receptions 26 yards. Westbrook was a non-factor. Philly's only shot of winning was a balanced attack featuring a lot of Westbrook. 

-The Terrell Owens Sideline Cancer Achievement Award. The winner is: Anquan Boldin. Before I rant, I'm a huge fan of this guy. Dude broke his face 2 months ago, came back quick and helped Arizona get to that game. He was taken out of a package in the final game winning drive and went nuts on the sideline. Not only was he yelling at the Offensive Coordinator while he was trying to call crucial plays in the game, but 'Quan also skipped out on the celebration. Sources reported that he left the field immediately and went home. Way to Savor the moment!

-The Rube Baker Award for Excellent Accuracy: Donovan McNabb.  For those that don't know Rube Baker, he's the catcher in the movie Major League, with a throwing problem. (No not a going problem, or a growing problem. Seen that commercial a little to much) McNabb killed Philly drives and big play opportunities. He threw several balls behind guys, including under throwing some routes with a lot of open field ahead. Including the 3rd and 10 with 1:00 remaining where Donovan threw behind a crossing route that could have easily been a first down. Even still a 4th and 3 is better than 4th and 10.

-Larry Fitzgerald has put together the best performance by a WR in NFL playoff history. My question is how the man hasn't been double teamed yet. Teams just can't be missing assignments that regularly. Makes me wonder what the scheme is to stop the Cardinals?
