Is it fixed?

I have to admit that during the first round of the NFL playoffs last week, I wasn’t exactly glued to the television.
One, my Eagles weren’t playing and two none of the games really interested me.
This weekend was another story. Watched all four games Saturday and Sunday and here’s something to ponder.
The weekend started with the league’s four top teams -- New England, the Colts, Dallas and Green Bay, all favored to win. The weekend entered with just two of those teams advancing -- the Pats and Pack.
So here goes.

Odds and ends...

• Hard to believe, but in less than a month, you’ll hear the four best words in all of sports: “Pitchers and catchers report.”
• Ran into the best basketball concession in the L-L League the other night at Lebanon. The chicken corn noodle soup was just a tad heavy on the noodles, but still good.
Lebanon also gets the nod for the best pre-game and in-game music, in the non pep band division.
• Look for some possible movement on the Ephrata football coaching job this week.
Understand there was a big “secret squirrel” meeting on Monday night.
• I think I said this one a few weeks ago, but next week, I’ll be making the trip to Reading for the Phils’ winter caravan stop.
Harry the K is the headliner. On the R-Phils web site, they ran a poll the other week about who fans most want to hear from at the dinner. Harry the K was first, followed by Shane Victorino and Brad Lidge. Charlie was fourth, which tells you how much he’s liked.
