The NFL Playoffs

After watching the fifth and final season of The Wire, television's best urban drama, I cannot resist rooting for Baltimore's Ravens. Plus they've a good player at my favorite position, tight end (Todd Heap). The tight end has to live in two worlds, knocking heads on the line, catching balls downfield. A real estate agent has dual oeuvres as well, manning a desk, thumbing a keyboard and building files; in addition to, the field work, checking out the inventory, the opens, casing a joint.

In the NFC final, Arizona hosts Philadelphia. The Cardinals are a feel good story, long suffering franchise sparked by left-for-dead signal caller Kurt Warner. Philadelphia's a repository of great architecture and tasty hoagies; and, they've a good defensive backfield. Go Eagles!
