With the final four set for this NFL season I got to thinking about what I'd rather not hear over those two weeks between this Sunday and Superbowl Sunday. Their are so many horrendous possibilities that the media can beat to death it's a bit unfortunate. Just to many stab-myself-in-the-face-to-stop-the-pain possibilities. I can already hear Berman beating the shit out of a dead horse now. It's arguably the worst two weeks of the year. The two weeks we're forced to hear the same thing recited from every direction. Thus, I decided to take a look at some of the nauseating story lines that could leave us searching for our end a week from now. And subsequently decide which I can bear more after the jump.

If The Giants and Chargers win...
The "opportunity to prove which team got the better end of the deal" storyline strikes up. The two weeks include non-stop "tale of the tape" style comparisons of the two QB's as if we've never seen them before. Eli maintains a two week long erection as he nears his chance to win the big one faster than his brother and silence his critics as Peyton had just a year earlier. Rivers actually flies Drew Brees in to perform daily fellatios on him as the result of bet the two made in the shower after Brees learned he wouldn't be returning to San Diego. Oh and almost forgot about the "Norv Turner can coach after all" storyline, but none of us would buy that garbage for a minute anyway so I'll just leave it at that.

My result is a Giants victory as Eli becomes the darling of the football world after completing 27/28 passes for 363 yards and 5 TD's. LaDainian Tomlinson threatens retirement if Billy Volek isn't named the starter in 2008.
