NFL Playoffs: Where to Watch, TV Schedule; Who Will Play the Pats?

Local favorite New York Giants might be out of the running for the 2013 NFL playoffs. But the New England Patriots are in — who will they face?

If you're a New York Giants fan you're probably not looking forward to the NFL's Wildcard Weekend.

If you're a Pittsburgh Steelers fan like me, the season has been over for a couple of weeks (although the win at home during last week's season closer against rival Cleveland was a decent way to end a frustrating, injury plagued year for Steelers fans).

I'd mention the Jets, but why would I, really? I think their fans suffer enough already, no?

However if you're rooting for the New England Patriots or any other division playoff team (Broncos, 49ers and Falcons) you're going to have eyes glued to the TV this weekend starting with Saturday's first wildcard game where the Cincinnati Bengals plays the Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. 

So if your heart is still in the 2012-13 season, here's a list of this weekend's games.

Wildcard Weekend Games

  • Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans
    4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5, on NBC
  • Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers
    8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5, on NBC
  • Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens
    1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 6, on CBS
  • Seattle Seahawks at Washington Redskins
    4:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 6, on FOX

The author of the article quoted endlessly above is Peter Morici, a Professor of InternationalRead More Business at the University of Maryland. I suppose he is to be forgiven if he sees everything through a business lens, after all it has given him a very comfortable livelihood for decades. But it is still a faulty lens on this topic and he should know better.

The CEO analogy is really dumb. Didn't CEO Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan Chase preside over aRead More multi-billion dollar trading loss last year. Didn't a lot of so-called "good" CEOs look the other way while collecting huge bonuses as their banks became insolvent because of unethical and unwise (and possibly illegal) investments in high-risk securities. These truly were management failures that devastated the U.S. economy But the CEO analogy is understandable given that Mr. Morici and his supporters are so enthralled by the corporate state.
