What do you think the over-under on the temperature is going to be for this weekend’s NFC and AFC title games? They’re expecting single digits in Green Bay. In New England, it will be positively balmy, in the teens. The Green Bay game will not start until after dark. We’re talking Ice Bowl II.

I Don’t Get It: Call them the new Broad Street Bullies. Or maybe Bull-ettes. Police say a wolf pack, mostly girls, is preying on those riding the Broad Street subway, in particular the Erie and Olney stops. They’re swiping anything they can get their hands on, in particular electronics like iPods, cell phones and laptops.
