Watercooler Chat: Wow, what a week 10!!! Many, many, MANY Items of Note
1. Brett Favre became the 2nd player in history to surpass 60,000 passing yards. This is what happens when you keep playing forever and ever and ever. Meanwhile, it looks like Vikings star Rookie, Adrian Peterson, might be sidelined for a few games with a knee injury -- thus removing the only fun thing to do in Minnesota. (Green Bay 34, Minnesota 0)
(speaking of the Vikings, the talk around town is that the Team first docked wide receiver Troy Williamson a week's pay for taking off to make arrangements for his Grandmother's funeral. Then, people went crazy hearing this and the team made a statement on Saturday that they will give him his money back...which he promptly said he will donate to a charity in honor of his Grandma).
2. Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals QB, looked like the Kurt Warner of old. He looked GREAT, leading the Cardinals to a victory over the Lions. Sure, he's an older QB, but he's also die-hard religious. So he doesn't drink, smoke, gamble, party or do anything that could lead to a downfall. He just might be the 3rd player in NFL history to reach 60,000 passing yards. (Note: This will happen in Madden 2008 on his Play Station 3, where he's traded himself to the Patriots, subbed out Tom Brady for himself, and wins 12 Super Bowls on 'Easy' mode. Girls, you need to play this game, it can help you understand the mechanics of the game better (Arizona 31, Detroit 21)
3. Jacksonville... good! Seriously, the Jaguars look like contenders, creaming the 6-2 Titans IN TENNESSEE!! Not easy. Everybody in Jacksonville will be hosting gigantic AFC Semi-Final parties in January to celebrate the Jaguars heroic effort in an inevitable loss to the Pats or the Colts. This same event will take place in Pittsburgh as well. (Jacksonville 28, Tennessee 13)
4. Everybody... St. Louis won a game!!!!!!! They beat the (or what we thought was) the new and improved underdog Saints. This is actually kinda sad. The Saints had won 4 games in a row, only to lose to the 2nd worst team in the league (don't worry Miami, you still got the crown, and we'll get to you next). This is a great thing for the Rams confidence, as now they know for sure that they'll have the 2nd pick in next year's draft, and can plan accordingly. (St. Louis 37, New Orleans 29)
5. The Dolphins blew another last second game, losing to the Bills on a last second field goal. While everybody is pumped up about a potential unfeated season from the Pats, they are seriously overlooking another potential milestone -- a winless season from the Dolphins. It's such a shame that these two teams aren't playing in Week 17, when a 15-0 Pats team would take on a 0-15 Dolphins squad. You just know the Dolphins would try SOOOOOO hard, and it's nice when games have the potential for 'The Ultimate Upset.' Sadly, this isn't happening. (Buffalo 13, Miami 10)
6. On NBC, the Colts played terrible for the first time this season. Even though Manning threw, count-em, 6 Interceptions, they still almost came back to win the game. And they should have, if not for a botched 20 yard field goal by the almighty Adam Vinatieri. But he's automatic... isn't he? Guess not. And Manning looked pretty mad watching that ball miss the uprights. Look, if the Colts don't get their act together, they're never gonna get to the AFC Championship game and get slaughtered by the Patriots. Focus, guys, focus.
At this point, I'd love to hear your thoughts on who will play in both the AFC and NFC Championship games. Any Super Bowl predictions?

Show a little love for a Giants fan. Great 1st half then stupid pentalties (delay of games, no less!!) and bad play calling did them in. Another winnable game. The only highlight was Shockeys catches.
I can't believe Vinateri missed, and I also can't believe Peyton had the look of disqust on his face after he missed...he's the one that threw 6 interceptions!!!! Peyton's funny, so it's all forgiven.
And how about that Steeler/Browns game. Back & forth from the get-go. It was never ending, but...alas, another missed field goal...and a Steeler victory!! Woo!
I agree with Kate on the Woo! for a Steeler come from behind victory to again beat the Browns.
AFC Championship Game will be Steelers vs. Patriots
NFC Championship Game: Cowboys and Packers
It could be, though, that 14-0 Patriots might take on 0-14 Dolphins on December 23rd. That would be almost as fun, and mean just as much to the Dolphins as they try to protect the legacy of the 1972 team.
