Consulting the missing thread?

I'm more concerned about the NFC right now, since I'm an Eagles fan.

I'll be rooting for Dallas this weekend, since I'd rather see the Cowboys again than GB, who I think will dispatch Seattle and Holmgren rather easily.

Either way, both conferences are essentially toss ups.

PS - ObBasketball: I'm back on the court tomorrow after a 2 week absence from HS basketball (unless you want to count 6 8th grade games the past two Saturdays).

Also, NASO sent a press release announcing the new Officials Assault legislation in Illinois -- does any other official think that such a law is really necessary? I think it is saying that standard assault/battery laws don't really apply at a sporting event or that they aren't enforced with respect to officials.
