Ladies and gentlemen, we are only a few hours away from the AFC and NFC title games.

This is what it’s all about. The Patriots, Jaguars, Vikings and Eagles will take the field today, and they’ll attempt to earn the right to play four more quarters of football in the Super Bowl.

It doesn’t get much more American than that.

And we’re just not getting a regular slate of football games today. Nope. We’re getting something nobody could have ever seen coming. Anybody who claims they predicted that Case Keenum, Blake Bortles and Nick Foles would all be playing today is an absolute liar.

Add in the fact we have no idea how bad Brady’s injury is and we’re setting up some great storylines for today.

Fire up the grill, grab some beers, congregate with friends and recognize that it’s days like today that show the rest of the world why the USA is the greatest.

God bless this beautiful country and God bless football.
