A few quick notes before the games start today:

- Is anyone surprised at all that LT's groin injury now seems worse than initially reported. Not only are teams going to partake in playoff-time reporting of injuries, but keep in mind how they hid Philip Rivers' knee injury last year.

- I know that economic times are tough, but barring some pricing hanky panky by the Vikings and Cardinals, how sad is it that they can't sell out a home playoff game? Especially the Cardinals, who haven't ever had a home playoff game.
