Are you ready for some football? My predictions:
Denver 23/Pittsburgh 13, Seattle 24/Carolina 17
TREMENDOUS!
At an excellent AFC Championship party.
Hmmm. Looks like the Carolina check just cleared in the Ref's swiss bank account.....
Ohforpetessake!!!!
...besides...it's "premiere"....
Yep, they cancelled it right before supposedly a Pubbie was supposed to be elected Pres. That said, I can't imagine Alan Alda playing a good Pubbie (they probably would have made him into an evildoer).

NBC Cancels Emmy-Winning 'West Wing' After Seven Seasons, Makes Several Midseason Moves
PASADENA, Calif. Jan 22, 2006 The new president on "The West Wing" will be a real short-timer: NBC announced Sunday it was pulling the plug on the Emmy-winning political drama after seven seasons in May.
NBC, struggling to regain its footing after the worst season in its history, also outlined several midseason schedule changes including the moves of popular dramas "Law & Order" and "Las Vegas."
"The West Wing" announcement wasn't much of a surprise. Although this season's story line with a presidential campaign involving a Democrat played by Jimmy Smits and Republican portrayed by Alan Alda has been strong critically, ratings have sunk with its move to Sunday nights.

The decision to cancel it was made before actor John Spencer, who played former presidential chief of staff Leo McGarry, died of a heart attack Dec. 16, said Kevin Reilly, NBC entertainment president.
"There's a point when you look at the ratings and say, it feels like it's time," Reilly said.
The series finale will be May 14, preceded by a one-hour retrospective. The campaign to replace the fictional Josiah Bartlet as president will be settled, NBC said.
Producers Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme, who created the show and guided it through its early years, will not be involved in the finale, Reilly said.
"The West Wing" won four Emmy Awards for best television drama in a row for its tales of political intrigue. At its prime, it also offered NBC two valuable benefits: critical acclaim and the most upscale audience on television, an important drawing point for advertisers.

Only half? All of them are convicts as far as I am concerned.
Sorry....boo hoo
Whoo Hoo! FG!
Seahawks: 20
Cats: 7 (questionable)
Yeah ... frankly the way they played, dominated by the Steelers in every category, they're lucky to have lost by only 17 points. This is a team that hasn't lost at home all season. As far as the loser part ... stick it buddy. We'll be back.
I WISH!
They use to play it on FX...
The show would be on FOX on Tuesday, and the following Monday- FX would show last week's show...
I LOVED IT! I don't know what theya re doing this year....
I agree w that!
No you won't.
LOL!
Your tagline is great!
I remember you! You were a year behind me! : )
Professor Bunny was pretty strict...
It's okay to hope for a win by your team. I am from Pittsburgh, so am somewhat biased, but I would never predict a Steelers win on any given game day. I view most Steelers wins as a lower-grade miracle, always have.
