Today’s Ravens-Texans playoff matchup had some testy moments – almost inevitable, in such an intense, physical sport – but that doesn’t mean it didn’t have respect.

Some fans like to go to games dressed in their favorite team’s jersey. Others like to do something a little…different.

Player introductions are always good for something unusual, but this time it was merely the pictures that caught my eye

Well, it took until the very last regular season game for it to happen, but the NFL’s playoff matchups are finally set. The four games next weekend are all over the map, featuring both potential shootouts and potential defensive slugfests. Oh, and also TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW. After the jump, a quick look at those games, plus how the divisional round is set to shape up.

During the Texans-Browns game last weekend, Houston linebacker Brian Cushing was wired for sound, meaning we got to hear most of the things he said on the field during the game, and got an insight into his personality. And for the life of me, I can’t figure out if Cushing is an absolutely terrible person, a funny NFL character, or both.

One poor field level security guard added her name to the list of sideline personnel getting nailed Sunday. Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub was forced out of the pocket by Cleveland Browns defenders and had to throw the ball out of bounds, nailing said guard right in the chest.

The Texas Rangers were really, really close to winning the World Series. Couldn’t have been closer without doing it. Coming close, though, doesn’t mean you should go ahead and commemorate their victory that never happened. Especially not permanently, and on your body.
