Penny Cookies & Lemon Heads!

"We're going to my man Jay's crib for dinner!"

I'm glad the NFL didn't put Floyd Mayweather in charge of writing the script for the AFC and NFC Championship games. If it were up to him he would have put the joint on Pay-Per-View, charged $50 and sucker punched the guy on a time out and took our money! Instead the joints were free and the AFC game went down to essentially the last play of regulation and the NFC went into overtime.

That's what championship games are supposed to look like. Give the screen writer a round of applause. Let's start with the AFC Battle Royale! Don't get it twisted, the Baltimore Ravens defense came to play and so did an usually unstable and unsure Joe Flacco. The Ravens offense moved the ball well on the 31st ranked defense in the league. However, in the 1st quarter I started tweeting boyz, "You can't win this joint with field goals! It's gonna be the death of them!"

B. More needed points, 7 of them every time they got into the red zone! Quote me on Tweeter, "You're gonna need 25+ points to win this joint and FG's won't get it done.”

Unfortunately, all they had to do was hit a chip shot from 32 yards out and only needed total of 24 points to win the joint but it just didn't happen. The Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff shanked it with 11 seconds left to tie the game and send it into overtime. Sadly, sending the Patriots to Super Bowl XLV with a 23-20 victory in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.

Tom Brady was held in check by that swarming Ravens defense and his comments after the game were,” Well, I sucked pretty bad today, but our defense saved us," Brady said after throwing for 239 yards, with two interceptions and, for the first time in 36 games, no TD passes. "I'm going to try to go out and do a better job in a couple of weeks, but I'm proud of this team, my teammates."

I bet the Ravens are still in the locker room scrapping bruh! They have yet to get in the showers after that one. Boyz are blaming somebody because they’ve already shown the tendency to call each other out. So there it is! That was a hard pill to swallow but hey, that's how it goes sometimes. The defense does what they do and Joe Flacco came to play. They kicker just had nail fungus in his big toe bruh! It happens!

"Yeah, we're excited about it too!"

Was it just me or did that first game drain you too? It took until the beginning of the 3rd quarter to get into the NFC match up between San Fran and New York. Man, I needed like two hours to finish absorbing the first joint. The second game was on but we were still talking about the AFC battle!

Once again, it was worth the penny candy, Funyuns, frosted penny cookies, the dill pickle and the red pop bruh! I know mainstream America is familiar with the phrase, "All that and a bag of chips" but in the hood you just didn't get the chips at the corner store! Holla At Ya Boy if you know what I'm talking about!

The 49'rs and the Giants game was just as good so we had to go back to the store for the Lemon Heads bruh! Wow! The script couldn't have been written any better. This freaking game went into overtime with the G Men winning it 20-17 sending them to Indy for the Super Bowl.

I could have sworn I saw Tom Coughlin pat Jim Harbough on the back extra hard and push him down after the game bruh! Maybe I didn't but I was hoping he did. If that would have happened it would have gone down as the best football day in history. Unfortunately, you can't have it all.

Congrats to New York and New England! However, there's nothing “New” about this joint because they've both been there before. When ya'll get to town Holla At Ya Boy! I'll fire up the grill for you. You just have to BYOB because I don't drink and take your shoes off so you don't mess up my carpet bruh!

Holla At Ya Boy!
