... record his last nine years as head coach ('79-'87) a period which saw six playoff teams and three NFC Championship Game appearances, was a lukewarm 16-15. That's right, 16-15. I don't recall any talk of December meltdowns back then, or cries for Tom to rush into retirement. Every Cowboys coach has seen good teams, ones that won Super Bowls and went to NFC Championships, lose games...

Great Vin Scully Calls Make three minutes of your time to listen to some wonderful broadcast calls by Vin Scully. There are some great calls on there, including many non-Dodger calls. There's even Scully calling Dwight Clark's catch (" The Catch ") in the 1981 NFC Championship Game. Thanks to Ken Levine, co-host of DodgerTalk, for the link.

... Maybe the Bengals will be the first solid test for the Vikings? Maybe it’ll be the Saints in the NFC Championship. We also talked about how we can’t shake the 1998 Vikings out of our heads. That was the last Vikings team to be 10-1. A lot of comparisons have been made to 1998 with the Saints playing the role of the Vikings and the Vikings playing the role of the Falcons… and there could...

I made the argument in today's Sporting News column: Is Florida-Alabama in the SEC title game the biggest regular-season game in the (modern) history of college football? Let me crib from my arguments at SN: *1 vs. 2 *12-0 vs. 12-0 *It's a playoff: Winner is in the national title game, loser is out. *Not just that, but the winner will be the favorite in the national title game, like the NFC championship...

Week 12 proved to me that there are two teams really worth mentioning in the NFC, and that the AFC is still wide open no matter which way you look at it. The Saints and the Vikings should have it all locked up pertaining to the two 1st round byes and I would be surprised if any other teams were to meet in the NFC Championship game. Could we have two teams going for perfection? I doubt it, but...
