The good news:
- Kate's New England Patriots beat the Chargers to win the AFC championship
- My New York Giants beat the Packers in overtime to win the NFC champioship
The bad news:
- They play each other in the Super Bowl in two weeks.

This was a topic yesterday on Mike & Mike, but I already had a full slate of blog posts. I like the question, though, so I thought I'd put it up here:
If you're a fan of a team in a sport with a championship playoff, who do you root for when your team is out?

So, remember a month or two back when everybody was whining about how Michigan got screwed out of a shot at the Mythical National Championship? They lost to USC last night.

Actually, the two teams' color schemes aren't that different. Maybe a red, white and blue living-room redecoration is in the cards?

I'm a Browns fan and my wife is a Steelers fan, it can be done. Hell look at James Carville and Mary Matalin!
I was relieved that I don't have to choose between the Packers and the Patriots in the Superbowl but disappointed Favre won't get another chance. I mean as a diehard Cowboys fan (shutup everybody) I hated the Packers for years until Favre singlehandedly made me like them.

She's rooting for a close game with some controversial calls, so as to increase the odds that Kate or I will knock food onto the floor.
She doesn't really care who wins, as long as she gets nachos.
Knock the food on the floor on purpose. You guys may need all the help you can get!

Brilliant! At least some live halftime reflections!
