NFL 2013-2014 Divisional Playoff Preview
The 2013-2014 NFL Wildcard games are in the history books. The matchups for the Divisional Playoffs are set (all times EST).
http://www.donnetempo.com/nfl-playoffs-preview/
Saturday, January 11:
NFC: New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks, 4:30 p.m. on Fox
How we got here: The 11-5 Saints as the lowest wildcard will have only road games. The 13-3 Seahawks won the NFC West and home field throughout the playoffs. The Saints finally won a playoff game on the road and in cold weather. against Philadelphia. Seattle had the bye week off.
Prediction: New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks—The Saints are a very good football team, but Seattle is not Philadelphia. This game would be very different in the Superdome, where the Saints were 8-0 this year. A few weeks earlier Seattle thrashed New Orleans 34-7 in Seattle. The Seahawks may have a tougher time the second time around, but they are the better team at home and will win again. Sean Payton has the offensive wizardry, but Richard Sherman and the rest of the Legion of Boom will bring the defensive hammer down.
AFC: Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots, 8:00 p.m. on CBS.
How we got here: The 11-5 Colts won the pathetic AFC South and then shocked Kansas City at home by rebounding from a 28-point third quarter deficit to win a 45-44 thriller . The Patriots at 12-4 won the slightly less pathetic AFC East and had the first round bye week off.
Prediction: This is no longer the matchup that fans salivated over. The rivalry died when a certain quarterback went to Denver. This is the reality check game that restores NFL order. The Patriots have lost home playoff games, but the teams that beat them in recent years had physical defenses. The Colts have an offense with young playmakers in Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton. The experience rests with Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick, who right now is devising schemes Luck has never heard of. The Colts won in the dome. The frozen Northeast will be far less hospitable. Brady is licking his chops at facing a defense that gave up 44 points in the wildcard round. If and when the Patriots take a multi-score lead, there will be no further comebacks.
Sunday, January 12:
NFC: San Francisco 49ers at Carolina Panthers, 1:00 p.m. on Fox
How we got here: Both teams are 12-4 in tough divisions. For the 49ers, that meant one game out in the NFC West and a wildcard. They went on the road and slugged it out with Green Bay, winning on the final play. For the Panthers, winning the NFC South gave them a first round bye and last week off. These teams are mirror images of each other, with nasty defenses and quarterbacks who can do more than manage the game but often just need to avoid mistakes. Midway through the season these teams played an old-time street fight won by the Panthers 10-9 in San Francisco.
Prediction: The Panthers have the home field and the 49ers have the experience. It is imperative for the Panthers to have Steve Smith and his swagger in the game. This should be another barefisted slobberknocker. The Panthers are young, but they are ready. In a squeaker that could go either way, Carolina has the slightest of edges at home having already beaten the 49ers on the road.
AFC: San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos, 4:30 p.m. on CBS
How we got here: While the 9-7 Chargers lucked their way into the playoffs as the last wildcard, they went into Cincinnati in the cold and stomped on them. The warm-weather Southern California boys also went into Denver a few weeks ago and shocked the Broncos. The 13-3 Broncos won the tough AFC West and with home field throughout the playoffs had the bye week last week.
Prediction: Philip Rivers is paying well, but this is where fantasyland ends. Peyton Manning has lost playoff games before at home, including to San Diego in 2007. This is not your father’s Peyton Manning. The Broncos are the far superior team, and Manning is playing like a demon possessed. Lightning will not strike twice, and the Chargers are out of fluke miracles.

My age 42 birthday wish: Meeting 43 by 43
On this day, my 42nd birthday, there is only one thing for me to wish for.
Call it “43 by 43.”
Within the next 12 months, if circumstances should allow for it, I want to meet President George W. Bush and shake his hand.
Paying for a plane ticket from Los Angeles to Texas is not a problem. When something and someone is important enough, you get on a plane.
One year ago it was my desire to meet Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. One month later part of that dream came true. Meeting Vice President Cheney was a thrill. Speaking in front of him was an honor. Meeting him a second time in May of 2013 was even more exciting when he actually remembered who I was.
The message I delivered to Cheney is the same one I want to deliver to “The Dub.”
I will go to my grave knowing they were right. On the big issues that mattered most, they were, are, and will be right. History will vindicate them because, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, I will help write that history.
I do not care if I am the last man standing next to these guys. I believe them, and am proud to still support them when others wavered.
My one sentence to Bush was the same one I said to Cheney.
“Sir, thank you for saving the world.”
My 42 years on this earth has given me many blessings. I have been able to do things most people could only dream about.
As a kid, I wanted to be like Charles Kuralt. I wanted to get in a camper, drive across America, and meet random Americans and hear their stories. I do not own a camper, but plenty of rental cars have allowed me to speak in all 50 states. It started with Los Angeles, with the 50th state coming with a September 24th, 2013 speech in Hays, Kansas. I have made lifelong friends.
My passion for the National Football League has led me to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, the Draft in New York, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. I even got to attend one Super Bowl that came down to the final play and saw one of the greatest upsets in history, the defeat of an 18-0 team. As a fan of the Silver and Black, meeting great Raiders present and past is always an honor.
My love life has seen me find love and lose love. Republican Jewish brunettes gave me more attention than I deserved, and I remain grateful. I could wish to become a husband and father, but that is a responsibility I have to pursue, not something to just wish for.
I have the best friends a guy could ask for. They are lifelong bonds already spanning between 20 and 36 years. The youngest person who lights up my life is a six-year-old son of my friend that we affectionately refer to as “the boy.” Being “Unca Eric” is the greatest feeling in the world.
As a Jewish person, I have learn and grown and met Rabbis and other lay scholars who have given me a valuable education on 6,000 years of tradition.
By the grace of God, I still have my parents. My grandparents are gone, but I had them all when I graduated college and three of them when I turned 30. They are with me every day.
My career saw me leave the stockbrokerage industry to become a full-time political speaker. I left one thing I loved for another thing I loved.
Many people have influenced me, and meant more to me than they will ever know. I have met so many people and thanked them personally. I have met so many people in sports, politics, and other fields, some of them people I admired deeply.
I have all the possessions a guy could need. My television set works, and my computer works often enough. A burger and a soda is more than enough to satiate my hunger and slake my thirst. I want for virtually nothing in this world, except to meet one man.
The only person I have yet to meet is President George W. Bush.
Mr. President, I know you are a busy man. I also know you have been through a lot. Whenever I meet one of your staff, I ask how you are. They insist that you are at peace, with no regrets. Thank God for this.
Between your library, taking care of your ranch, your newfound painting career, and of course being in the grandparent business, I know you have few if any seconds to spare.
If at some point a brief moment appears, it would be my honor to shake your hand.
To meet one of the greatest leaders of all time in one of the most consequential periods in American history is more than any man has a right to expect.
Not every wish is granted, so some gratitude is in order.
Thanks to my grandparents and parents for bringing me into this world, my friends for making it a fun world, the boy for reminding me what matters in this world, and to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for saving the world so we can all enjoy it.

Why the Obama administration is terrified of the Bob Gates revelations
Former Obama Defense Secretary Bob Gates issued some praise and some searing criticism of President Barack Obama in a new tell-all book. Gates’s book, “Duty,” was the entire topic at Jay Carney’s daily press briefing. The White House is terrified. They should be.

Is there still racial bias with the hiring of NFL coaches?
Football sportswriter Michael Silver is a thoughtful individual, and his heartfelt passion for the NFL is matched by his commitment to civil rights. In a league where two-thirds of the players are black, it is not acceptable to have so few black head coaches and front office personnel.

Obama, Harris-Perry, potheads and climate scientists: 2014 already nonsense
Between President Obama, MSNBC zealots, potheads and climate scientologists, it seems that 2014 is already a year dedicated to nonsense rather than real news.
