Late to the Party

My apologies for not posting in a while, life has been moving fast and I haven't really had a second to even sit down... besides, with The Cowboys out of the playoffs, my interest in football is slightly diminished, but regardless, I'm back to update.

There hasn't been an overwhelming amount of Dallas Cowboys news, just a few small items sprinkled throughout the last 2 weeks.

- There have been some rumors that T.O. won't be around next year, but merely hours after the rumors surfaced, him and his agent denied this possibility. "Does a bear shit in the woods?" was T.O.'s official response when asked if he believes if he will be a Cowboy next year.

- Jason Garrett is now 0-3 with the interviews he's had for head coaching positions. The Rams looked the most interested, but decided on NY Giants' Steve Spagnaolo instead.

- Ray Lewis rocking the star on his helmet in '09? Rumors erupted recently that if Lewis does indeed head into free agency this year, Jerry Jones will do whatever it takes to secure him. We'll have to see about this one, although he is a beast on the field, he is not getting any younger.

In Other Football News

I didn't even post recaps from the Divisional round, and I won't bore anyone with a recap now, but as for the Championship Games, Philly traveled to Arizona and Baltimore went up to Pittsburgh.

It was all set to be a Pennsylvania Super Bowl, the clear favorites were Pittsburgh and Philly to meet up in Super Bowl 43. Fate was sending these two teams on a collision course in Tampa, but apparently the Eagles misplaced their invitation.

Philly went to Arizona with high hopes, but left with low heads and shattered egos. Arizona completely dominated in the first half, and then gave Philly plenty of chances to comeback in the second, but thanks to Larry Fitzgerald and Kurt Warner, The Cardinals will now be heading to their very first Super Bowl... ever.

Baltimore was also on quite a streak as they went into Pittsburgh, but fate reared it's ugly head again and made this the final game of the season for the Ravens.

The Steelers had a good fight on their hands and the victory didn't come easy, but thanks to the late 4th quarter interception/touchdown by Troy Polomalu, the game was stolen away... just like that.

So there you have it. Pittsburgh vs Arizona in Super Bowl 43, and due to my dislike of the Steelers and the AFC, I'll be forced to be a Cardinals fan on February 1st.
