... The Result: Fail Level of Failure: Pretty High Great game from top to bottom. Killer penalties, heroes, goats, a rabid Texas crowd. I found myself rooting for both teams so many times throughout the course of this heated bout. The Twist: Eli Manning's second straight playoff road win propels the Giants to an unlikely upset over the Cowboys! Eli's headed to the NFC title game while brother Peyton sits on the couch next week. Un-real. The Funny: The AP game recap lead... Tony Romo can go wherever he wants with Jessica Simpson ...
