That is almost sig-worthy. Awesome.

I couldn't care less about the NFC teams that are in, but of them I'm ambivalent towards Atlanta and Minnesota, don't feel a desire to Brees with another championship, and don't want to listen to Philadelphia fans for a full off season. Philadelphia fans suck about as much as Bronco and Cowboys fans when it comes to listening to them talk about football. So, Atlanta or Minnesota is a coin flip for me. Let's go with Minnesota because why not?

Jacksonville v. Minnesota...don't care who wins but that's what I'm cheering for this year.

I'd be fine with anyone who hasn't won before myself.

How can you hate them when there's no difference between them and any other team?

Due to a faulty premise, you question has no adequate answer. You may as well ask for the sound of green.

Since my favorite team didn't make the playoffs, I will probably be rooting for the underdogs in every game :) I also wouldn't be surprised, and wouldn't mind, a Superbowl rematch. Give the Falcons a shot at redemption.

I felt so much pity for Minnesota kickers that lost playoff games with missed field goals. Now I really feel pity for that NOLA cornerback. What was he thinking?

How do the Vikings go without scoring a touchdown the entire second half and then finish the game with an 85 yard drive in under a minute of play and one timeout?

There is so much talk, which most the time is true, about having to have a "franchise QB" in order to go deep in the playoffs...so much for that theory this season...Three of the four QBs may not even start next year.

This has been a weird year.

That cornerback looked like he was trying to flip the receiver, instead of wrapping his arms around him. Even if he didn't tackle him he slows him down. There is no way he scores. Spectacularly bad execution.
