DOLPHINS: NFL pulling for NY?

[Danny Nelson]

I don't really understand why any football fan wouldn't want to watch the
playoffs.  Not only have there been some great games because of the intensity
level, but I think it's instrumental in realizing where the Dolphins need to
go in order to get to the next level.

Now Phil Simms says that a PI call in the end zone on a bomb by Big Ben was a
great call, when on the replay I didn't see anything at all that justified it.
 Phil's gone one toke over the line.

Theres 12 minutes left but this game is over.  I sure wouldn't miss next
week's Steelers-Ravens game because that is going to be the nastiest brawls
you've ever seen. (2 dirtiest teams in the league IMO)
