Do you like Cinderella? Because the NFC Championship game has two Cinderellas, and I can’t decide which one is going to turn into a pumpkin when the clock strikes midnight.
On one hand, you have the old and ugly Brett Favre who sold his soul to the devil to gain another Super Bowl championship – wait, that isn’t very Cinderellesque. On the other hand, the city of New Orleans battling back from Hurricane Katrina to rise to the top of the NFL world – now that is Cinderellesque!
Injury Report: Injuries are always an issue at this time of year. Vikings have Percy Harvin – the x-factor and offensive rookie of the year – missed practice due to migraines, and reports from Vikings camp are that he wasn’t banished to a dark electrical closet. Oh yes, he is playing.
For the Saints, their injuries are a little more than a headache: shut down cornerback, Malcolm Jenkins and shut-your-mouth tight end Jeremy Shockey, but the biggest problem will be the missing center (more like the quarterback of the offensive line) Jonathan Goodwin – where did he go to school.
Sexy Offense: Ah, the Saints! For. Sure. The Saints are the most explosive offensive team in the whole NFL – minus maybe the Cardinals. However, the Saints can’t score if they are watching Adrian Peterson chew up the clock and gobble up yards as they twiddle their thumbs on the sidelines. Unfortunately for Viking fans, Favre has pictures of Coach Brad Childress screwing a beagle so look for Favre to throw at least 40 times on Sunday.
Defense Wins Championships Some Douche Said: Evidently, someone thinks you have to play defense to win championships but let me be the first to say that defense is overrated. Drew Brees will ruin the Vikings secondary like the Love Boat did a few years ago.
Who is wearing the glass slipper at the end of the game: The Saints will put the pressure on the Vikes by scoring more than Patra at an Asian whorehouse. The pressure will be tighter than that which is on Favre’s prostate when he sleeps at night. Like I say every week, and this week he will make me look like a genius, Favre plays like the old ass that he is which includes 4 interceptions.
Favrella turns into the ugly step-sister and eventually a huge pumpkinish John Madden.
My Pick: New Orleans Saints 42 –- Minnesota Vikings 30
