Good: Moose and Goose sparring Saturday night. Arizona – Carolina was painfully boring (except to Norman Chad) after the Cardinals jumped out to that huge lead, but on at least two occasions, analyst Moose Johnson and sideline guy Tony Siragusa disagreed on topics like whether to kick a field goal or go for a score, and why Jake Delhomme kept throwing interceptions. It wasn’t your standard fluffy TV disagreement, either; it was two former athletes butting heads, and neither wanted to give an inch. We actually thought Goose was right both times, too. Apparently, their rapport has been going on all season.

Bad: Going into the weekend, we might have predicted Dan Dierdorf would uttered the dumbest line … but the honor goes to Troy Aikman. In the fourth quarter, with Philly comfortably ahead by 12, McNabb scrambled out of bounds, and then wound up near the Giants bench, where he saw a phone, picked it up and pretended to talk (to Howie Long?). Aikman said, “Sometimes, I don’t know what is running through that guy’s head.” A lot of folks loathe Aikman in the booth – probably has something to do with him being a former Cowboy – but we don’t mind him. Except here, he’s way off. The much-maligned McNabb is on the cusp of knocking out the defending champs, in their own building. Did he have visions of Shannon Sharpe (see below) dancing in his head? The guy gets pooped on all season for a variety of reasons; gets benched; and now he’s about to get into the NFC Championship game. Why can’t he have a moment of phone on the sidline? We’re surprised that’s even a flag, since he picked up the phone for all of 2.5 seconds. McNabb apologized after the game.
