The Magnificent Seven: Seven Thoughts From the Conference Championships

Another Monday means another Magnificent Seven post, it's going to be interesting going after the Super Bowl because I need to find seven things in general in the sporting/entertainment world.

Ahhh, well... we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. To the M7.

7. In both games on Sunday, only ONE holding penalty was called. The officials really decided to let the players play in this game.

6. Bernard Pollard is truly Tom Brady's worse nightmare. Seems like whenever he's in Foxborough, Brady doesn't look like the Brady we know. Heck, he said so himself:

5. Eli Manning shows why he's clutch. I know many people don't want to hear the Peyton comparisons, but it may be time.

4. Great run by the 49ers. With Alex Smith's contract up, does Harbaugh want to keep him for another year, or will it be time for the Colin Kaepernick era?

3. Why wasn't the Lee Evans touchdown reviewed? He should've had the ball, yes, but there should've been a review though.

2. Kyle Williams had a rough game at the worst time. But to leave death threats to the kid on Twitter? Ridiculous. It's one thing to hurt and be upset, but do not wish death on anybody. Completely unnecessary.

1. Peyton's brother. Peyton's biggest AFC Rival going at in the Super Bowl again. In Peyton's Place. I don't say this often, but go Giants!

Until next time!
