Can You Feel It? no comments
When Championship Sunday rolls around, there is always the same feeling: there is a sort of brooding presence about the day. It’s big, and you can feel it. Today is the day that the AFC and NFC champions are crowned, the day that we discover who will be making the trip to the Super Bowl in Miami.
Every year this day rolls around, it has the same feeling. But this week, perhaps more so than any other championship year in the past, things could be bigger and better than ever.
The first match it the Indianapolis Colts against the New York Jets, in a clash of opposing play styles and philosophies. It will be wonderful to see the chess game being played by Peyton Manning and Rex Ryan, the Jets defensive guru. But, secondly, we have the Saints at home against the Vikings.
And that’s where the real magic should be. It is the two best offenses in the league, two of the best quarterbacks in the league, and some phenomenal playmakers like Reggie Bush, who played sensationally last week. If you haven’t seen his run from that game, make sure you check it out here. I know I can’t stop watching it.
