The 2008 Miami Dolphins are AFC East Champs. Almost hard to believe given last year's dismal record!
Chad Pennington and the Dolphins finished 11-5. And where did the Almighty Favre and his Jets end up?

New York Mets @ Atlanta Braves
At the end of the first week of training here at Fort Benning, us lieutenants enjoyed the repose of a 3-day weekend, beginning with Good Friday.
Friday morning (7 Apr)--after having served a 0200-0400 duty shift the night before--I took my truck down to the Auto Skills Center on post to have the brakes worked on, in preparation for a drive to Atlanta. On Saturday (8 Apr), my barracks roomie and I departed Columbus for the 3:55pm ET New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves baseball game. The drive was a one-way time-eater of about 90 minutes.
The game ended 5-3 in Atlanta's favor. It was a cold sit in the lower 40s with strong gusts of wind. Below is a shot of a critical fielding error made by Shawn Green of the Mets.

Super Bowl XLI
Peyton Manning vs. Rex Grossman is "a skill match-up not unlike Doc Holliday vs. Barney Fife," says FOX Sports writer Randy Hill. I can roll with that.
The Bears' quarterback (Rex) has been remarkably unpredictable this season, showing up for either a zero or 100-plus QB rating--and nowhere in between. The Colts' quarterback (Peyton) has been an NFL star for years, a Marino-esque best who's never led his team to a Super Bowl victory--let alone appearance. It should be an interesting night in Miami.
I'll be rooting for Peyton, if for no other reason than his being a Tennessee man.
