Forty-niners 36, Saints 32

So, was that exciting enough for you, Toni?

[Olympia]

I only understand skating. Is that a good score?

[Tonichelle]

Olympia - the Niners haven't been to a playoff since 2003. AND they just beat the second best offensive team... and it was a slug match... and it was an amazing game but I am still recovering from the trauma... they got really lucky with that win...

so, yes, MM, I guess it was TOO exciting!

[Olympia]

This sounds great. Who do they play next?

[Tonichelle]

we won't know who they play next until after today. Whoever wins the Packers/Giants game today will play the Niners for their Division Championship. We're hoping for the Giants because if the Giants win then they go to San Francisco (Niners) to play. Annnnnd the Niners would have more of a chance IMO to win next week lol

[Olympia]

okay, then I'm for the Giants, too. Though I love the idea of the Packers. Don't they play for the smallest community among all the top teams? I mean, everyone else has a major city behind them or nearby, and the Packers have Green Bay, Wisconsin. There's something noble about that. And they haven't moved to some other place the way the Colts or other franchises have done. (I still remember in basketball hearing that the New Orleans Jazz, a name that makes such sense, later became the Utah Jazz. Everyone knows that Utah doesn't have jazz.)

[Tonichelle]

Blah. I can never like "The Pack"... them cheeseheads... yuck!

some rivalries are too hard to give up

[Tonichelle]

Giants will play the niners on Sunday... GO NINERS!
