The time is here and we are just 3 short weeks away from crowning a new Superbowl Champion. This years AFC championship should pan out to be one the best in years as the Ravens led by Rookie QB Joe Flacco and the daunting Ravens Defense head to Pittsburgh to take on Big Ben and the Steelers who recently pimp slapped the Chargers and reestablished their dominance in the AFC. Based on the odds to win the Superbowl you can make a fairly educated guess that the winner of this game is looking real sweet to win the whole shabang. Read more...

We are finally here, down to the last 3 weeks before Superbowl XLIII (43) and nobody, and I mean NOBODY thought we would be discussing the Eagles and Cardinals who will face off for the 2009 NFC Championship and the right to play for the Superbowl.

Now we find ourselves heading to the desert to see who will represent the NFC in this years big dance in Tampa on February 1st.

AFC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
Baltimor Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers
PITTSBURGH -- Experts say he holds the football too long.
Some say he doesn't post the gaudy statistics needed to be considered an elite passer.
He was the third quarterback taken in his draft class behind Eli Manning and Philip Rivers, and it seems he rarely receives the same credit.
Yet, only two starting quarterbacks remain in this postseason, and one of them answers to the name Ben Roethlisberger.
It is time to appreciate the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback for being a consummate winner, and quit bashing Roethlisberger for not being a conventional quarterback.
Roethlisberger, playing in his third AFC Championship Game in five years, led the Steelers to a 23-14 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday to earn a trip to Super Bowl XLIII. He did it his way -- unconventionally -- buying time with his feet and making the most of broken plays to throw for 255 yards and one touchdown.
On a frozen Heinz Field, Roethlisberger went toe-to-toe with the NFL's second-rated defense and never blinked. He was sacked four times and hit many more. He played the second half without his prime target Hines Ward, the wide receiver who sat out the final 30 minutes because of a right knee injury.
But in the end, Roethlisberger beat Baltimore's defense three times in a season -- a feat few quarterbacks could accomplish.
NFC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had just finished a news conference when he pulled offensive coordinator Todd Haley aside following their team's 32-25 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.
Fitzgerald didn't want to talk much about the specifics of that victory, though. Instead, he wanted to express his gratitude. "Larry just said he wanted to thank me for keeping my foot on his throat over the last two years," Haley said.
What Fitzgerald knew is something that we're all realizing during this postseason: It's not an accident that he's taken his game to a frightening level. It took plenty of pushing and prodding from coaches like Haley. It took Fitzgerald's acceptance that his 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame and explosive leaping ability weren't going to be enough to make him the receiver he wanted to become. And it also required the considerable opportunities he's been given during the Cardinals' improbable Super Bowl run.
