N.Y. Giants 23, Green Bay 20 (OT)

"...And with a 47 yard field goal, the New York Giants secure their place in Super Bowl 42!"

As some of you can probably imagine, I'm very sad right now. My beloved Green Bay Packers lost in overtime to the New York Giants 23-20. A 47-yard field goal by Lawrence Tynes in overtime tonight gave the New York Giants a 23-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game. Tynes redeemed himself with the game winner, after missing a 36-yard attempt as time expired in the fourth quarter of a game played in frigid temperatures at historic Lambeau Field. He also kicked two other field goals in the win.

Eli Manning completed 21 of 40 passes for 255 yards for New York (13-6), who will play the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII Feb. 3 in Glendale, Ariz. Plaxico Burress had 11 receptions for 154 yards and Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw each rushed for a touchdown for the Giants. Brett Favre went 19 of 35 passing for 236 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Packers (14-4), who were trying to win their first conference title in 11 years. Donald Driver had five receptions for 141 yards and a score.

What annoys me is that I thought, no, I KNEW they were going to win. I swear on my life that I was planning on rooting for the Packers in the Super Bowl if they took on the Patriots. But now, I don't get the chance! I get to root for something almost as good though. I get to cheer for the future 19-0 New England Patriots who are going to DESTROY the Giants!

As for now though, I'm "mourning the loss of Brett Favre's Super Bowl dreams." Guess I'll just wait till next year...

Politics

I'm a little surprised at how divided the results are on the Republican poll! I added a similar one on the Democratic party, so be sure to vote.
I'm currently working on my official prediction of the race, and hope to have it posted soon. Stay tuned....
