After the college bowls are over, the NFL playoffs begin. The NFL season
culminates with the Super Bowl, which is usually scheduled on the first Sun.
of February or the last Sun. of January*
, **.
The regular season is over on January 1st, 2006. The postseason
began with the Wild Card weekend, January 7th and 8th*. Quite a few people
enjoy watching playoff games on TV; some guys often get into watching football
games too much and then some of their girlfriends may ask them which is more
important, either love or football***. The postseason is Wild Card, Divisional
Playoffs, Conference Championships, and Super Bowl**. The Super Bowl will be
held on February 5th this year.
Our Minnesota Vikings had a bad start for the 2005-2006 season, but later
rallied to try to become one of playoff teams. Unfortunately, our team didn't
quite make the playoffs.
L
Immediately after the last game was over, the head coach, Mike Tice was fired
(even though the Vikings beat the Chicago Bears in their last game). A few days
later, the Vikings named a new head coach, Brad Childress+. Brad
used to be with the Philadelphia Eagles as their offensive coordinator. We
really hope that the new head coach will lead the Vikings to become Super Bowl
Champions for the first time sometime soon.
