The Broncos won the AFC Championship by knocking off the New England Patriots 26 to 16. And the Seahawks captured the NFC title with a 23 to 17 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
After the win, Fox Sports minx ERIN ANDREWS tried to interview DICK Sherman, who proved to be one of the BIGGEST A-HOLES IN THE GAME.
He yelled, quote, "I'm the best corner in the game! When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you gon' get! Don't you ever talk about me!"
Erin, who was STUNNED by this nonsense, asked DICK who was talking about him. He said, quote, "Crabtree. Don't you open your mouth about the best. Or I'mma shut it for you real quick!"

What "Back In My Day" Story Will You Tell Your Grandkids in 50 Years?
What "back in my day" story will you tell your grandkids in 50 years? Some of the most popular candidates are stories about dial-up Internet, going to the video store if you wanted to watch a movie, and looking up directions on a map before you left the house.
1. Back in my day, we used dial-up Internet. It was slow, you got charged by the minute, you lost your connection if someone picked up a phone in the house, and it made horrible screeching noises when you connected.
2. Back in my day, if we wanted to watch a movie, we had to drive to the video store to rent it. If their one copy was checked out, you picked something else. And then, when we were done, we had to rewind it so we wouldn't get charged extra.
3. Back in my day, if you wanted to talk to a girl, you had to call her house and talk to her parents first.
4. Back in my day, if a kid was picking on you at school, your dad told you to go back the next day and punch him in the face . . . not file a lawsuit against him.
5. Back in my day, if we needed directions, we had to look them up on a map before we left the house. And if we got lost, we had to find a gas station where we could ask for directions that were probably not very good. (Reddit)
