This weekend was a surprising round in the NFL playoffs!

NFL: Who would have thought the NFC Championship game would be the Eagles versus Cardinals? Well, they both beat the top two seeds in the conference and will play each other next week in Arizona. Arizona’s offense showed up Saturday night and took care of business as they shocked a lot of people and defeated the Panthers 33-13. Sunday was a battle between two big rivals, the Eagles and Giants. They battled but it was one sided as the Eagles took care of business and defeated the Giants 23-11. In the AFC, the Ravens pulled off a close victory as a field goal with 53 seconds remaining helped them defeat the No. 1 seeded Titans. On Sunday, the Steelers played great in the snow and took care of business as they defeated the Chargers 34-23. The battle of the defenses in the AFC will take place next week as the Ravens will play the Steelers.

NBA: The Cavs gave the Celtics a whooping Friday night and basically became the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics were able to bounce back from their recent bad streak with a win Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. The 76ers extended their winnings streak to 4 games as they defeated the Hawks yesterday 109-94.

ELSEWHERE: My Temple Owls earned a good win last night as they took care of the LaSalle Explores, which was the first game in conference play. Then North Carolina loss its second game as the Wake Forest Demon Deacons defeated the Tar Heels 92-89 last night. Finally, Florida Gators QB Tim Tebow has decided to return for his final year at Florida, giving the Gators a better chance to repeat championship victories.
