And now, in a daring attempt at column writing, I will compare quarterbacks in the upcoming NFL playoffs to characters on our favorite television shows in order to give you, the reader, a better handle on how to bet (not that you ever bet) on the games.
Because we all know it’s up to the QB’s when it’s playoff time.
Let’s start with the Terrell Owens-less Donovan McNabb. Is he not a dead ringer for Will Ferrell during his last season on "Saturday Night Live?" Surrounded by a bunch of no-name no-talents. Ferrell was amazing, but couldn’t carry the whole show. Sound familiar, D.Mac?
Next up is San Diego’s Drew Brees, who is a dead-ringer for Charlie Sheen as he appears in the top-10 hit, "Two and a Half Men" As in, "What the hell did I do to deserve this kind of success?"
Moving on, tell me Brett Favre is not Jack Bauer from "24." Go ahead. Stack the deck. Make it look impossible. Send terrorists, send a corner blitz, it doesn’t matter.Bauer’s going to save the world,Favre is going to save the Packers.
Peyton Manning? Try Donald Trump from "The Apprentice." All the decisions rest with him, and they almost always work out. Unless it has to do with Trump’s casinos. Or unless it’s happening outside, in the cold weather, during the playoffs.
