I was cruising along in our NFL playoff pool though the first six games, but the Carolina game was my Waterloo. I'm still within a few points of the top spot, but Seattle was my pick to win the Super Bowl, so my bracket isn't just busted, it's obliterated. I also lost on the Steelers, which I could have survived, but I have only one more potential victory in the three remaining contests. I'm not complaining, though. The playoffs have produced some amazing games, and the entertainment value has been off the charts. Congrats and good luck to those still in contention.
