Media Day is the official beginning of the Super Bowl week hype, and Gregg Doyel is on the field to chronicle every ridiculous moment.

Just because Eli Manning is in the Super Bowl does not mean the Giants got the better end of the 2004 trade with the Chargers, who have three Pro Bowl players to show for it. Gregg Doyel says the trade is a mismatch, as is his war of words with New York supporter Mike Freeman.

Lawrence Tynes had not one, but two shots in regulation to give the Giants an NFC title in freezing cold Green Bay. All he got out of it was a bruised foot. Even after making an improbable 47-yarder in OT, Gregg Doyel says the meticulous Tynes finds himself alone — and on his way to the Super Bowl

Congratulations, Chargers. You advance to the AFC title game despite having all factors go against you. But understand this: The Colts LOSE this game, Gregg Doyel says — and by Colts, he means everybody not named Peyton Manning.

Jacksonville loses an 18-point lead, then claws back for a thrilling 31-29 playoff win at Pittsburgh. David Garrard laughs last on a Jekyll and Hyde night for quarterbacks, Gregg Doyel says from polar-opposite locker rooms.

Vince Young leaves early, but his team’s dreams don’t go with him. Kerry Collins leads the Titans to a playoff-clinching 16-10 win over the Colts — and Gregg Doyel says Collins should start next week in San Diego.

All Cleveland needed was a win, but Derek Anderson throws four picks and Cincy’s Kenny Watson runs for 130 yards in a 19-14 shocker. With the Titans beating the Jets, the ‘clueless’ Browns need to refocus, Gregg Doyel says.

In their 28-27 win over the Lions, the Cowboys prove they’re not just good, they’re also lucky. Gregg Doyel says let’s add one more adjective to the mix: Great. As in Dallas’ Super Bowl-eyeing QB Tony Romo.

Somehow, the Browns had a chance to knock off the Steelers and move to the top of the AFC North. In steps Browns coach Romeo Crennel, who needlessly blows two timeouts — and the game, Gregg Doyel says.

The Patriots sneak past the Colts 24-20 in a battle of goliaths. Gregg Doyel says there isn’t a David — sorry Dallas, Green Bay and Pittsburgh — who can get in either of these juggernaut’s ways. Expect one heckuva an AFC title game.
