My sports blogging has been almost completely nonexistent for a while. This is not any indication that my sports fan-dom has waned. I’ve been watching (the Titans, who lost a close one last weekend to the Patriots, and the Kentucky Wildcats, who were just terrible yesterday). I’m watcing the NFC Championship now as I read a bit in Linked: The New Science of Networks, which explores many types of Networks, and the common properties. It was interesting to see the author identify the Apostle Paul as one of the examples of an early use of networks. (Anyway, this digresses from sports— more on Linked in a bit)

I ‘m pulling for Philly, even though they’ve been there before (albeit 24 years ago). They’ve been to the NFC Championship 3 years in a row and not gotten past it yet, so I feel a bit empathetic (being a Rams fan back in the 70’s and 80’s, when the Rams made it to several NFC championships and seemed to lose everytime to either the Cowboys or the Vikings, but finally made it in 79)

The AFC game I was pulling for Indy, but Peyton couldn’t do it quite as easily against a much stingier Pats defense (4 picks).
