Get hyped — the NFL conference championship games are on today!
Let’s check in around the final four teams within one win of playing in the SUPER BOWL –
- Green Bay Packers: Someone called the Packers a dynasty on purpose. Seriously. My guess? They began tailgating e-a-r-l-y.
- New York Giants: This may shock you — Heavy amounts of pressure sits atop the shoulder of Eli Manning today.
- New England Patriots: I would love for “those stinkin’ Pats” (term I coined whilst hating on them all year) to lose today but doubt it will happen. Is there any way to award just Randy Moss the trophy?
- San Diego Chargers: Some hope for all you Billy Volek fans out there — Philip Rivers is doubtful for the game because of what might be a torn ACL.
