Anyone who has listened to a blip of a podcast, or has even skimmed a few articles on T.S. knows that I (Alex) rep the Patriots and Mike reps the Giants. Always has been that way, and always will be.
Before the playoffs started, we joked at the possibility of a rematch. Now that the joke is a reality, and we have a Super Bowl for the ages on our hands next Sunday.

Now that we've weeded out the wild card teams, the real playoffs have begun...
Saints @ 49ers, Saturday at 4:30 eastern - Mike and I have been curious about the 49ers all year. They got our attention with the win over the Steelers, and the defense has been impressive, but is Alex Smith the real deal?

After a rather lengthy (cough cough) bowl season, 34 games are down and there is 1 to go: the BCS National Championship that pits 2 division rivals in the SEC who have already played each other this year...wait WHAT?!?! The score is 19-18 Alex, so the winner takes all in our final college pigskin pick of the year.

No, the cotton Bowl isn't a formal BCS game these days, but since 2 of the top 8 ranked teams are featured tonight in the game, you have to figure this will be more competitive than say, West Virginia murdering Clemson (a mockery of a BCS game).

Unlike a fair amount of the Celtics blotter you can find regarding this topic on the internet, I will actually give you a definitive answer at the end to the question.
After 3 painful road losses without Paul Pierce in the lineup, the Celtics returned home and have since won 4 games in a row WITH Paul Pierce in the lineup.

Ahhh... Clemson and West Virginia, the champs of the ACC and the Big East, respectively. Two of the poorest conferences in college football arrive to prove that at least the top of their league is still performing on a BCS scale. We both flopped on Va Tech last night, keeping it all tied. Well, the tie will be broken, because I like the Mountaineers offense being too much tonight...

Well, Michael put a spanking on Alex last week just like how the Giants spanked the Jets. The lead for Michael is now enormous, 151-137. Going forward, Alex is going to need to get very lucky, especially during this week to give himself a chance during the playoffs.

Well, the NFL is playing the bulk of its games on SATURDAY instead of SUNDAY because of a certain CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY. But don't worry, there still is a game Sunday night (and a good one: Chicago @ Packers... good because it'll be all Packers). But Alex needs to win BIG this week to give himself some sort of tunnel to look for light at the end of. Michael owns the big lead, 138-127. Too bad.

Alex has made up some impressive ground this past two weeks, and now only trails by ten points. But his window of opportunity is wearing thin. Can he make up and overpass Michael, who leads 131-121? Will Michael sputter like the Patriots did last week against the Colts? Or will he overcome the threat like the Packers did over the Giants last week? Only time will tell.

We had the NBA Season 100% written off for the past few weeks...we didn't even bother to throw ourselves into the obligatory lockout banter...all because we were confident no deal would be made.

Well, I think I jinxed myself last week as Alex picked up some points this week. Neither of us did well, But Alex won the week (for a change), 7-4. Like Tebow's Denver Broncos, Alex is trying to make a run for the playoffs, and now only trails Michael by 10 (98-88).

Well, Michael beat Alex kind of like the Giants beat the Patriots last week. A 10-7 thumping vies Michael a commanding 13 point lead heading into week 10 (94-81). Alex now needs to start picking up a two games a week to make it interesting as we get towards the end of the season.

After both Michael and Alex split last week, both picking up 11 points, Michael still commands the race heading into week 5 with a hefty 45-38 lead.

We're also split on how the Raiders will react after losing their longtime owner, Al Davis.

Michael added to his lead after last week's spanking of Alex, and is now on top after two weeks: 24-18. All bets are on the line with some big games Sunday, including the undefeated Bills hosting the Patriots, and Eagles hosting the slopped Giants, horrible Indy hosting the Steelers, and more.

Boomer Esiason sounded off Wednesday night to USA Today about how the NFL needs to stick to its guns about playing the game safe, especially in regards to Tony Romo's stupidly stupid return Sunday with a punctured lunch and broken rib.

Week 1 in the NFL had some crazy shit happen, and it's sure to only get better. Can Tom Brady and the Pats do something even bigger? Can the Lions put up even more points? Will Dallas lose another? Only time will tell.
