What's On Television Today: January 9th, 2011

Your first NFL Sunday without the Texans. It's tragic, I know, but do try to live on and watch football teams with credible NFL defenses. Here's what we've got lined up for the second day of the playoffs:

Freaks And Geeks
Baltimore Ravens @ Kansas City Chiefs -- CBS, Noon -- Can Jamaal Charles single-handedly overcome the Ravens aging defense?
Green Bay Packers @ Philadelphia Eagles -- FOX, 3:30 PM -- If the Packers win this game, they could conceivably kill Andy Reid's career too. As the official coach killers of the NFL, I'm only disappointed they didn't play the Texans this year.
Kraft Fights Hunger Bowl -- Boston College Eagles vs. Nevada Wolf Pack -- ESPN, 8 PM -- The WAC may not get a BCS payout, but at least they get a chance to ruin Mark Herzlich's feel good story.

Mallrats
Manchester United vs. Liverpool -- Fox Soccer Channel, 7:30 AM -- I hear these two teams aren't fond of each other. It's an FA Cup smackdown! Or it would be if either side cared about the FA Cup.
Real Madrid vs. Villareal -- ESPN2, Noon -- Lets face it, I know the Ravens and Chiefs are in the more prestigious league, but this is the best football match on at noon.
College Basketball -- Maryland Terrapins @ Duke Blue Devils -- Fox Sports SW, 7 PM -- Duke doesn't consider this game a rivalry, and has sent a man named Chet to look down upon this game with his nose up.

Undergrads
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Phoenix Suns -- NBA TV, 7 PM -- What should I do? Should I tell you this game will be watchable?
