If there’s any word that is overplayed more then ‘gunslinger’ this year among NFL analysts then I don’t know what it is.

Tomorrow on the NFL Network (which means I won’t be watching unless I go to my friend’s house), the Cowboys and Packers will play in what many people are calling a preview to the NFC Championship game. Both teams are 10-1 and playing the best football in the NFC. I still think the Pats, Colts, Jaguars, and Steelers could beat these two teams, but anways… we can’t all play in the NFC.

The Packers have the first true gunslinger, Brett Favre. While the Cowboys have the newest young gunslinger in Tony Romo. Being a gunslinger pretty much means you just throw the ball as much as you can and try to force throws. You rack up hundreds of yards and don’t worry about throwing interceptions. It’s a risk/reward mentality and fortunately for these two it has been working.

The game is being played in Dallas, so I’m expecting America’s team to win.
