The playoffs, and particularly the Conference championships, are the games to see.

That said, sport evolves, and it may well be that the technology of football has outrun the ability of the human body to participate. <br />Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100176174975448724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-33761770496917850472013-02-06T21:07:07.565-05:002013-02-06T21:07:07.565-05:00I liked the Oreo commercial, but I'm a librari...I liked the Oreo commercial, but I'm a librarian.<br /><br />Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com
