Big-time weekend in the big-time football league, baby. Take a look at the NFL playoff schedule that starts tomorrow. You have more storylines than a corny daytime soap opera. One team survived a hurricane. Quarterbacks facing off against their old squads. Experienced Brady vs. wet-behind-the-ears Rivers. And, of course, da Bears. Get ready for a hot time in the old town.

Even though a lot of drama is coming your way tomorrow, let's be smart here, boys and girls. You want drama on the television, not in the checkbook. Don't go so crazy over the free football game that you pay out the nose for some party with your buddies. A lot of dough is gonna be spent on pizzas, hoagies and tailgating, so don't break the bank to make it happen for you. Just like DR talks about all the time on The Dave Ramsey Show, if you're gonna spend money, then create a budget. And if you're gonna save dough to fund a football romp, then save some more to pay off debt.
