• How is Herm Edwards still an NFL coach? That had to be the worst offensive gameplan in the playoffs I have ever seen. The Colts defense is awful against the run and Larry Johnson is one of the best backs in the league. Everybody knows the Chiefs can run the ball effectively. So they decide to come right out and run it up the middle into the teeth of a defense prepared to just stop the run. Then when forced into obvious passing situations, they couldn't do anything either. Just awful.
• Tony Romo dropped the snap. Big deal. The Cowboys weren't going to win the Super Bowl this year anyway. And for the record, I hope Terrell Owens comes back. This year had to be a little humbling for him. At least, enough to want to come back strong with something to prove next year.
• I'm calling for a New England upset of San Diego next week.
• While I'm at it, Indianapolis will beat Baltimore and Peyton Manning will have a home game against his nemesis for the right to go to the Super Bowl.

My new favorite show this TV season is Heroes. I just started watching all the episodes I had Tivoed and I am officially hooked. It's spooky, well written, well acted, suspenseful, and everything that Lost hasn't been this year. The surprises are more jarring and you have a sense that this show knows where it is actually going as opposed to the afore-mentioned Lost. I've always said it is never too late to jump in on a show in its first or second season, and I highly recommend this one. If you choose one new show to start watching right now, forget that overblown crapfest 24 and start watching Heroes.
