Friends of the Family: Wildcard Weekend Edition

Every weekend I list several blog posts from the week that I thought were really good. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Here in the United States, football season is in it’s final stage: playoffs. I’ve been a Green Bay Packers fan for as long as I can remember, so it’s exciting to see that they won their playoff game yesterday against the Vikings. I know that next week’s game against the 49ers will be a much bigger challenge, but I think they’re up to it. Football is one of those things that a lot of people get really into, and it’s fun to be a part of it. The trash talking with co-workers, friends, and family is always fun. My wife happens to be a Chicago Bears fan, so she’s contstantly telling me how the Packers are going to lose. Fun stuff. Are any of you watching the NFL playoffs this year? There are a lot of great storylines, with all the rookie quarterbacks (though two of them got knocked out this weekend) and the return of Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson (though he’s out now as well).

    Hey mate thanks for the mention. I have to be honest but I have no idea about football and how it’s played in the USA. I sometimes turn the channel when it’s on the tele but it just looks like blokes tossing and kicking a ball around. Maybe one day I’ll learn a bit more about the sport. Cheers!

    Thanks so much for mentioning us! I saw that the Colts lost today! Bummer but there’s always next year =)

    Thanks for the mention! I’m a 49ers fan though so I’m hoping the Packers don’t make it past next week. I hope you don’t take it personally :)

    Thanks for the mention Justin! I am a lifelong Cowboys fan and they, predictably, screwed up yet again this season. I can take heart that the Redskin lost though. :)
