    Watching this game in a room 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house really added to my enjoyment, I think.

Favre, Manning Laugh at Freezing Conditions

Rover found this 1/21/2008 on sports.aol.com

Well, this looked like it was going to be your typical mid-January NFC Championship game played in -23 wind chill. Nope, not even close. Over the first 30 minutes the Giants controlled the time of possession, but the Packers have a 10-6 lead thanks to one play: a 90-yard touchdown pass from Brett Favre to Donald Driver.

Madison pulled before the TD

Rover found this 1/21/2008 on myespn.go.com

The Giants pulled starting cornerback Sam Madison before the touchdown because of his ridiculous personal foul on the previous play. I'm still waiting for a replay, but it looked like Sam Madison grabbed running back Vernand Morency by the helmet after the play. When he left the field, Favre had Donald Lee in a mismatch against safety James Butler. Easy touchdown. Packers up, 17-13. If the ...

Giants stun Packers in OT

kcudah posted 1/21/2008 from scores.espn.go.com

# Eli Manning led the Giants to their 10th win in a row away from home. # The unbeaten Pats punched their ticket to Arizona earlier in the day. No surprise there. The twist? To win their fourth Super Bowl in seven years, they'll have to deny Eli Manning.
