SUNDAY

NFL playoffs, Giants and Atlanta. I’ve been waiting for this game all week long, and I have mixed emotions as I sit here watching it. Aside from the dubious morality of supporting a game which measurably detracts from both the quality of life and the life expectancy of those who participate in it, I am also torn because I spent the morning working on what I hope is the last edit (it won’t be the last edit) of my current writing project, and I’m this close… Still, I have to watch. I’ve been a Giants fan since I was a kid growing up in Massachusetts, and this year Eli Manning is playing as well as any Giants QB since Scramblin’ Fran.

And here’s another thing that bothers me: why is it that Fox always manages to have an ex-Cowboy doing the color when they broadcast a Giants game? As if I needed another reason to hate Fox. And Troy Aikman? Really? Troy Aikman? There’s only two things I want to hear from Troy Aikman.

1. Shut.

2. Up.

I can’t stand it any more, I’m turning the sound off.  Pretty good game, though, Matt Ryan just tackled himself…
