Championship Sunday Open Thread

January 20th, 2008 9:30 AM

It's Championship Sunday: Do you know where your bigscreen TV is?

I gotta say that I'm more excited about today's conference championships than any in years, mostly because of the old school nature of the Giants taking on the Packers on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Honestly, for a real football fan, with all these new stadiums, some of them indoor, many with astroturf, does it get any better than this?

Add in the whole story line of an aging Brett Favre, having been written off by so many sportswriters, fans, and pundits, possibly taking his team back to the Super Bowl. If that's not why we watch sports, what is?

So, who do you like here, and why?

As for the Patriots and Chargers, if you're not a New England fan, and aren't rooting for the underdog here, please explain why? Would you really root for Goliath if present at that historic matchup? Would there be anything more delicious than a banged-up team from Southern California going into frozen Foxboro and stickin' it to the cocky Patriots and their cocky fans? Or, is a marquee matchup between Brett and Tom in the Super Bowl so desirable that David should take a fall for our future entertainment pleasure?
