Next Best Thing

So, we obviously didn't make it to Lambeau for the playoffs, but the decked out couch was the next best thing. Riding high on our 13-3 season, we watched in awe as the Packers drubbed the Seahawks in a fun and playful 42-20 snowy victory. We leapt off the couch when the Giants won their game against the Cowboys, convinced that we were going to the Superbowl - after all, we only had to beat the Giants, and we had taken them once before this season, right??

Of course, we fell to the Giants in icy cold overtime in the NFC championship. But at least the Giants took out the Patriots and prevented the supposedly "perfect season" (which never would have been perfect anyway after the taping incident, in my opinion!) If we couldn't win the Super Bowl, having the little brother of the previous Super Bowl winner triumph against all odds is also the next best thing, I guess.

But NEXT YEAR...
