Fifty percent chance of apocalypse

The victory of the New Orleans Saints in the National Football Conference (NFC) championship game Sunday marks a National Football League (NFL) sign of the apocalypse... and a 50-percent chance of the End of the World As We Know It.

Somewhat less disconcerting is the embarrassment to which dog owners heap upon their canines to demonstrate the humans' own athletic alliances for their own gratification.

Here's the thing: How do you know that your dog support your favorite sports teams?

Do you think that outfitting your dog with a University of Alabama collar guaranteed that he cheered, "Roll, Tide!" during this year's national championship game? Maybe he was singing "The Eyes of Texas." How do you know that your white standard poodle resents the blue horseshoes that you denied in her hair? Maybe she thought New York Jets quarterback Marc Sanchez is a bigger stud than the Indianapolis Jets' wearisome play caller Peyton Manning.

But back to the NFL signs of the apocalypse. While the Colts' American Football Conference (AFC) title may stave off destruction of the planet that we call earth, you might also consider holding off on purchasing the Colonial Penn life insurance policy that Alex Trebek peddles on television.
