Why are we dealt the shortest week?
What do they use to determine that?
The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -Ty Cobb
But it gives us the longest week heading into Round 2 of da playoffs

But I think the Packers will beat the Eagles....
And then Atlanta. Hopefully NFC Championship in SuperDome with Saints vs. Packers.
