Monday meanderings: OK, somebody find a Brazilian supermodel for Joe Flacco. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback outplayed his New England Patriots counterpart Tom Brady in a 28-13 victory in the AFC title game Sunday (Jan. 20). Meaning Brady will have more time to spend with wife/supermodel Gisele Bundchen and their family. Uh, never mind about Flacco. He is married, and he and his wife have a young son.
The 49ers were Jaime Edmondson’s choice in the NFC.
* Flacco becomes a free agent afer the season. Already some Chicago Bears fans are dreaming of the team signing him. You have to credit such folks as being about as delusional as Cubs Convention patrons departing that event with the sincere belief that 2013 will be the year the Cubs make their first World Series appearance since 1945 and capture thir first World Series crown since 1908.
* Speaking of Bears quarterbacks, there were times Sunday when Brady looked an awful lot like Jay Cutler at quarterback. With the key word being “awful.” Or however you want to describe Brady’s 29-of-54 effort for 320 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
* So Bears fans can justify having a rooting interest in the Super Bowl because former Bears quarterback Jim Harbaugh coaches the San Francisco 49ers, who took the NFC title by beating the Falcons in Atlanta 28-24. Plus the 49ers are the NFC team. And then there’s always the rationale that says — provided that San Francisco wins the Super Bowl — the Bears are somehow in the same category as the runner-up because the 49ers beat the Bears in the 2012 season, too.
And in the AFC title game, Jaime Edmondson liked the Ravens.
* Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s refusal to talk to a CBS sideline reporter after the game was certainly understandable. Not because of Belichick’s intensity. Not because of validating yourself based on victories or Super Bowl appearances of championships. It was understandable because Belichick has little, if any, regard for the concept of sportsmanship. As Shannon Sharpe was quick to point out.
* Let the record show that Playboy Playmate Jaime Edmondson, who is expecting a child with Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria, tweeted her selections for the AFC and NFC title games. “Posting the team I WANT to win, not necessarily who I think will win,” she posted on Twitter. Her teams: San Francisco and Baltimore. Meaning there is justification to running the photos that she tweeted to accompany her picks. As if justification is necessary.
* For the record, the teams with the best records are not playing in the Super Bowl. Those would be the AFC’s Denver Broncos (13-3) and the NFC’s Atlanta Falcons (13-3). The 49ers were 11-4-1 and the Ravens 10-6. Meaning the Bears (10-6) aren’t that far away from being a Super Bowl contender. Right?
* With Jim Harbaugh coaching the 49ers and his brother John Harbaugh coaching the Ravens, the honorary coaches for the game should be Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers for the “All in the Family” bowl.
Yes, the editorial staff at elliottharris.com has been remiss about its wrestling coverage. So here is wat will pass for that for today: The almost wedding of Brooke Hogan and Bully Ray:
The weather forecast for Chicago is for cold temperatures. Which means there’s no better time than now to run some swimsuit-themed video (as if any excuse/justification is necessary). And, yes, the video department at elliottharris.com finds lingerie-themed footage acceptable as well:
