... while the Saints and the Bears battle for NFC Title

Yep, as good as this AFC Championship game between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady will be, the NFC will have its fair share of excitement.

The New Orleans Saints continue their improbable march this season as they meet the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship game. If you asked anyone who will represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLI, no one will probably be picking the Saints or the Bears. Who knew both of these NFL Football teams would have the season they had this year?

The New Orleans Saints, yes, they were a team coming off from the devastation Hurricane Katrina brought to Louisiana. We all heard about it. We all felt sorry for New Orleans, especially for the New Orleans Saints, whipping boys of football the last couple of years.

Well, look at where they are now, only a win away from a Super Bowl, the biggest game, the grandest stage in all of American sports, possibly ALL of sports besides the World Cup. The Saints were a ''feel good'' story at the start of the season, now, they are a ''feel good'' story AND a very good team. Probably because of their electrifying rookie, Reggie Bush.

On the other end of the field, we have the Chicago Bears, electrifying the nation with a hot start for the season nobody saw coming. The Bears will come into this NFC Championship game with something to prove. Nobody's giving the Bears, specifically Rex Grossman, that much credit, even after knocking out the defending NFC Champions, Seattle Seahawks.

Just like their first playoff game against Seattle, everything will revolve around Rex Grossman as they look to advance to the Super Bowl and in turn, silence their doubters.

If the Chicago Bears can knock the high-octane New Orleans Saints offense, ranked first in the league during the regular season, off the field on third down, Chicago will see their beloved Bears march for Miami, Florida and play whoever comes out of the AFC at Super Bowl XLI.

Go Bears!
