Finally -Conference Championship Week !!

Way back last fall, if anyone would have asked me if I thought the Green Bay Packers would be the favorite to be the NFC representative to the Super Bowl, I’d have laughed out loud !

What an outstanding job this team and it’s coaches have done !!

THIS IS THE TIME OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON

WHEN THE CREAM HAS RISEN TO THE TOP

THIS WEEK'S WINNERS HEAD TO THE SUPER BOWL

WHILE THE LOSER'S SEASON SIMPLY STOPS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SEATTLE'S SEAHAWKS HAD DISPATCHED THE 'SKINS

WITH THE HELP OF TWO DEFENSIVE SCORES

AND AFTER THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF SUNDAY'S GAME

THAT APPEARED TO BE THE CASE ONCE MORE

THEN THE PACKERS REGAINED THEIR COMPOSURE

AND AS THE SNOWFLAKES BEGAN TO FALL

THEY SHOWED SEATTLE HOW IMPORTANT IS

TO BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN RUNNING THE BALL

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS' OFFENSIVE LINE

BATTERED SEATTLE UNTIL THEY TOOK CONTROL

FROM THAT POINT ON IT WAS FAIRLY EASY

FOR RYAN GRANT TO FIND AND HIT THE HOLE

IT DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO BRETT FAVRE

IF THE BALL WAS MADE OF LEATHER OR MAYBE SNOW

HE COULDN'T SEEM TO MISS ANY OF HIS RECEIVERS

EACH TIME THAT HE WOUND UP TO THROW

BUT THE BRIGHTEST SPOT IN THIS PLAYOFF GAME

WAS A PACKERS DEFENSE THAT WAS SUBLIME

LED BY ATARI BIGBY AND HIS FEROCIOUS HITS

DELIVERED PRECISELY AT THE PERFECT TIME

ONCE THE SHOCK OF THE EARLY TURNOVERS FADED

SEATTLE'S TEAM NEVER REALLY HAD A CHANCE

AGAINST A PACKERS' TEAM THAT WAS RESTED AND HEALTHY

AND LOOKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE JAGS AND PATS TRADED SCORES FOR A WHILE

THEN TOM BRADY'S PASSING TOOK IT'S TOLL

HE WAS AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS HE COULD BE

WHILE CONTINUING THE PATS' UNBEATEN ROLL

IT WAS WIDELY SUSPECTED GOING INTO SUNDAY'S GAME

THAT THE COLTS WOULD BE THE CHARGERS' UNDOING

THAT WASN'T THE CASE AS INDIANAPOLIS FELL

LEAVING DISCONTENT WITH PEYTON MANNING BREWING

THE COWBOYS OWNED THE NUMBER ONE SPOT

AND WERE PREHAPS FEELING JUST A BIT CONCEITED

UNTIL THE GIANTS' TALENT AND DETERMINATION

LEFT TONY ROMO AND HIS TEAM DEFEATED

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IF THE CHARGERS COULD HAVE COME TO THIS GAME HEALTHY

THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO BEAT THESE PATS

BUT UNLESS SOME SORT OF MIRACLE OCCURS

BRADY'S TEAM WILL WALK OVER THEM LIKE A DOORMAT

THE GIANTS ARE RETURNING TO FRIGID LAMBEAU FIELD

REPRISING CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES OF YEARS LONG PAST

AND REPEATING THE PATTERNS FROM MOST OF THOSE GAMES

THE PACKERS WILL KNOCK THE GIANTS ON THEIR...GRASS...
