Rob's Wild Weekend Recap- A Crazy Football Sunday
Giant Choke Job
This game looked like it was over, but things changed drastically. The Giants blew a 21 point lead with 7 minutes left in the game. Michael Vick went crazy, running and throwing the ball, as the Giants defense did a complete 180 from its performance the first 3 quarters. The Eagles also had a successful onside kick after they cut the lead to 14. The Giants found every way possible to blow the game.
Here is Vick's touchdown pass to tied the game at 31.
As shocking as it was that the game got to this point, the biggest shock was yet to come. When it looked like the game was guaranteed to go to overtime, the unbelievable happened. The Giants, whose special teams and punter have been awful all year, gave their fans every reason in the world to jump off the George Washington Bridge on their way home. I still do not know how this happened. Cover your eyes Giant fans.
The punter should be kicked off the team for not kicking the ball out of bounds. How do you allow DeSean Jackson to get the ball in his hands in that situation? Has he not watched film on him? All he had to do was turn on SportsCenter to realize that. I love how Jackson show boated on his way to the end zone. It was even better than the backwards dive from last week. He is so good and knows it, adding more salt to the wound. As bad as the loss was, the Giants would still be in the playoffs and a win next week at Green Bay would most likely clinch a spot for them.
This was not the first time the Giants lost to the Eagles on a punt return.
Jets Survive
This is what needs to be done when your offense is totally pathetic.
Brad Smith is the Jet's best offensive weapon as he gets them off to a great start.
Like usual, the defense allowed the Steelers to march down the field to begin the second half and score a touchdown to take a 17-10 lead. Surprisingly the Jets came back and scored their first offensive touchdown in 198 plays. To be exact, it was the Bengals game on Thanksgiving. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you in this video, they really did score. I forgot what it looked like too.
Nick Folk kicked a field goal to give the Jets a 20-17 lead and the defense actually stepped up to stop the Steelers. Jason Taylor decided to show up for a game.
Some might have thought the game was over, but this is the Jets. Why would they ever make a game easy on themselves? Lets allow Pittsburgh to drive 90 yards down the field. It was typical Jets defense as the pass rush was non existent and receivers were open all over the place. Would it be another last second loss by a New York football team? As every Jet fans heart beat accelerated to the point of bursting, they stopped them.
After this victory, my bet would be the loud mouth Jets are back (They were all talking about championships in the post game press conference). This was a huge win and most thought they would lose, but my advice would be to take the victory quietly and worry about beating the Bears next week. Everyone knows though, Rex is Rex, and he does nothing quietly.
The Giants and Jets are both better off making the playoffs as Wild Card teams because neither plays well at home. The new Meadowlands stadium is a home field disadvantage. The road has brought out the best in them, and that is where both will probably be in the playoffs.

First Half Disaster Cost Jets Super Bowl Trip
AFC Championship Game- Jets at Steelers
So much for WFAN's Craig Carton predicting a 23-0 Jet victory.
It's not your day when the other team has a 9 minute touchdown scoring drive to open the game. The Steelers totally bullied the Jets so called great defense. I lost count of the amount of missed tackles on Steeler running backs.
It might have been the most non-competitive first half I have ever seen in a football game. The Jets had one yard rushing. The Steelers had 135. On this touchdown run by Big Ben, he looked like Moses parting the Red Sea, as he was not even touched.
It actually got worse the next time the Jets had the ball.
The second half was much better for the Jets. Amazingly, they cut the lead to 24-19. Unfortunately though, they wasted so much time on their scoring drives as they looked confused and unorganized. There was no sense of urgency. Do they practice the hurry up offense? I also want to know why they were having so many problems getting plays called. They looked like a middle school team.
The Steelers were able to run out the clock with a few big completions by Big Ben. Here was the clincher.
This is now 2 straight championship game losses. Soon this story will become very old. New York is about winning championships, not losing in AFC championship games. I really hope Jet fans are angry about this loss and do not give some lame rationale on how they are happy with the season. On Hard Knocks Rex said they would win the Super Bowl. They failed and Jet fans should be angry. Losing to the Steelers was not acceptable. Do me a favor, win a Superbowl and then you can talk about how good you are.

High School Kid Refuses to Wrestle Girl
At work I was forced to endure a sexual harassment seminar, so I do not want to sound sexist, but the only wrestling between men and women should be in the bedroom. I know Saved By The Bell had an episode with a chick wrestling dudes, but that was television. Men should not be wrestling women in high school matches. I have no problem with girls wrestling, but let them wrestle other girls; preferably in jello or mud.
I do not blame this high school kid for defaulting his match to a girl. Most men were raised to never lay a finger on a girl. Did you ever hear of domestic violence? What happens if he accidently feels up a boob or a vagina? Sexual assault.
The poor kid was put into a no win situation. If he won, great you beat a girl. If he lost, ha ha loser, you lost to a girl. Have fun walking around the halls with that on you. High school kids are cruel.
Finally, I hate how they said the girl won the match. She didn't win anything, there was never a match. Just because the ref raising your hand, doesn't mean you won anything in the minds of others. Unfortunetly, this is the new America we live in. People receive recognition for doing nothing. That is how the 9th place trophy was created.

The Knicks are Terrible Again
The Garden used to be a place where teams feared to play and the Knicks were dominant. Now, teams excel at the world's most famous arena, and the Knicks struggle greatly. The Knick fans who had lots of hope for the season, are now losing it. I do not think we will be hearing anymore A'mare MVP chants for a while.
If they lose the Nets tonight, every Knick fan might start calling for Mike D'Antoni's job. He is not very popular after telling the fans to stop chanting "We Want Melo". The rule in New York is, never mess with the fans. If you do, and the team is not successful, they will murder you. Additionally, the team continues to play no defense, and it is fair to question if they will ever be able to win big under D'Antoni's style, even with Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo is a great offensive player, but he plays no defense. They might score 120, but will be giving up around 130.

NFL Divisional Round Recap
Ravens at Steelers
Will someone please pick up the football, you're all staring at it like it's a Vegas call girl. Never believe it when people tell you football players are not dumb.
Thank you Cory Redding.
Here is video proof that James Harrison is the dirtiest player in the NFL. Hey Flacco, what's the capital of Thailand?
3rd and 19th. Just do not let the receiver get behind you.
The Ravens secondary did not get the memo Antonio Brown even went a little David Tyree on this catch. This led to the game winning touchdown for the Steelers. Like usual, they find a way to beat the Ravens. I know people hate Big Ben and he is probably a huge douche, but he is such a money player.
Packers at Falcons
Please don't throw it, please don't throw it, please don't throw it. Damn it!!!
That's what happens when you get too greedy. Should have just kicked the field goal. This play potentially turned a 21-17 Packer half time lead, to a 28-14 half time lead. The Packers then opened the second half with a touchdown to put the nail in the Falcons coffin.
I love how the Packers told Brett Favre to peace out because they knew Aaron Rodgers was better. Best move they ever made. Rodgers is an assassin. He made the Falcons defense look like they should be playing in a Powder Puff league.
Seahawks at Bears
No video for this one. Don't be fooled by the Bears only winning by 11, this game was not competitive. Hey, for a 7-9 team, Seattle did well for themselves by winning one playoff game. For the record, the Packers are gonna f up the Bears next week.
Jets at Patriots
Let the talking begin. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. Who would have thought the Jets would beat New England after losing to them 45-3 a few weeks ago?
Even though they did not score points (Some how Davis Harris got caught and Nick Folk missed a chip shot field goal), this play changed the entire game.
Where was this defensive effort all season? They actually hit Tom Brady all throughout the game. It is about time they introduced themselves to the opposing quarterback. Major props need go out Shaun Ellis who had two sacks and was all up in Brady's face the entire game.
This touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes was huge because it came right after the Patriots drove down the field to score a touchdown and converted a two point conversion.
First Manning, then Brady, and now it will be Big Ben. We will see what happens. I can't wait to see what Rex will say this week.

Knicks Keep on Rollin
The Suns basically replaced Amar'e by trading for Vince Carter who might be the most overrated player in the history of the league. No wonder why Steve Nash wants out. As a Knick fan though, I am very happy with Raymond Felton and do not need the Knicks to trade for Nash, which I doubt they would do anyways.
We also wondered how the Knicks would respond after losing Gallinari for 2-3 weeks. They have responded with wins over the Spurs and Suns where they scored over 120 points in both games. Obviously the offense has not suffered as it has allowed other players on the team to step up.
They are now off to L.A to face the Lakers on Sunday night. Not a bad way to end a football playoff weekend. The Lakers have been struggling greatly and now might be the best time to face them. Hopefully they will not get their game back when seeing the Knick uniform.
I was hoping for a 2-2 road trip, but after winning the first game, the possibility of better results is more realistic. Regardless of what they do, this team continues to prove they will be in contention all season.
