The augury dissatisfaction

Tomorrow is the NFL's Conference Championship games. I believe the New York Jets vs. Indy Colts play first most likely on cbs for the AFC Champions. Followed by the more intriguing game of the NFC, where the Minnesota Vikings go to battle with the New Orleans Saints in the Dome.

Has anyone ever noticed how cbs game, mainly AFC games are just extremely boring. Like i rather watch the seahawks play the rams, than watch the steelers play the bengals or some game that is worth note but not to the prestige of Colts vs. Pats, but even when those type of games roll in its still quite difficult for me to stay intrigued with the CBS game. It's like everyone is practically on their death bed and every thing just seems so generic and how's no extras that FOX provides. The commentators see quite dull and just matter of the fact, while the Fox announcers are energetic, joyful, and try to actually entertain and retain listeners. I do not know if this is just me or if it's the same for everyone. I am just glad I decided to be a Redskins fan (no matter how much they break my heart, but tha will be another topic in time) than a Ravens, because CBS might just put me in a coma.

But anyways back to my reason for my post, my picks. I believe the AFC representative will be the Indianapolis Colts, I was going to go with the sleeper pick with the NY Jets, but in one of my classes my teacher asked us who we thought and everyone said the Jets were going all the way? I guess everyone has jumped on their bandwagon/underdog story. so i gave some thought to it and decided i was just willing the Jets to win and logically i cannot see Manning blowing the game like the Chargers did. The jets talent is no where near the colts and they ll need more than a defense guru to stop the Indy attack... im saying the slot receivers have a huge game and Wayne burns Darrelle Revis at least once.

For the NFC, again i really want the Saints to win, Favre has disgraced and tarnished his legacy. I use to be in love with how he played, but the fact that he can't let it go and does the ultimate no no in the Bay, by signing with the Vikes i just have no respect anymore. But i am just not convinced the Saints are the real deal, like they ball out on offense, but their defense has holes and is not very staunch. They played well against the Cards, but the Cards were out of sinc from the 3rd drive till the clock read 00:00. Naturally Favre's fairytale ending will continue for another game, as i pick the Vikes to up end the Saints, in a close battle that actually is not a high flying scoring game but stuck in the 20's maybe one team hits the low low 30s. I really has mixed emotions of this game, because although I do not think the Saints are completely there, i am not totally sold on the vikes, and karma is catching up to number 4, it's only time till he blows another huge game with nonchalant and forced throws.

If the Colts lose, I will not be making a prediction, as i think they will take the crown for themselves. I do not believe if I can just come back and say who is going to win the Super Bowl if my picks for the conference championship games fell through.

Ugh, so Saturdays are usually my easy days, where i can just enjoy a run and not worry about anything and just run. Of course the running gods would not give me a break and decided to make my it band feel the worse it has it quite sometime. It's rather depressing that it has regressed this far... I ran for 4.5 miles today, just around campus and through some trials. It was enjoyable when my it band was not hurting, after my run I stretch a good amount and iced.

Oh also today was my first day i went off my pain medication so that could be a big reason why it hurt so bad today, but im afraid if it doesn't get much better that I will be repeating the same steps, as i did earlier this season :/.
