1) Even a fake Jessica Simpson was good enough to throw off the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, as New York took a Giant step toward the Super Bowl. The Giants, who notched a stunning 21-17 victory over Dallas in the NFC Divisional Playoffs, had a good-luck charm in the stands — in the form of Simpson lookalike Lynsey Nordstrom.

2) EW, I am almost starting to feel sorry for the Wolverweenies. First you lose Lloyd Carr, who really was a class act. then Ryan Mallett leaves (probably for Tennessee), now Mario Manningham is bolting for the pros. I think Rodriquez is a good coach, but a fairly brutal start….

As you know, the “cardinal rule” in Belichik-ia is one-game-at-a-time.

More like one video tape at a time.

It will be a little more complex to defensive game plan against San Diego this week since the availability of their key personnel is unknown. The Pats coaching staff will take Mon and Tue to come up with the plan and put it in Wed, Thu, Fri.

Similarly, why assume a Packer victory? They’re playing the second best team in the NFC, a team that’s won two road victories in the playoffs. Coughlin will have them practicing in Clarence Birds-Eye’s deep freezer.

Anyone else out there getting a dollop snow today?

Did I hear that the Giants now have to go to Green Bay???? In conditions that may be as bad as yesterday???

Worse, from what BooRadley quoted at #290 above, 7 day forecast shows possibility it will be 7degF in Green Bay, and per EW above:

Pats game is at 3, so the second game is likely 6:30 or 7.
