With 1 week in the books, I’d like to talk about a few things near & dear to my heart…. The NFL. Here are just a few random thoughts I’d like to pass on.
1) The Patriots will still win the AFC East. They will lose a few games probably, and we will see 20-17 or 16-10 victories as opposed to the 40-3 or 37-13 victories as we saw last year, but none the less, they are going to be OK.
2) And I am sure Randy Moss will step up to the plate and be the leader that he is. Just because they were winning all of last year, and he may not see the ball as much this year, I don’t think he will revert to his old ways…….
Yeah, right!
It is already beginning as he started crying that the clean hit on Tom Brady was a dirty hit. STAND BY FOR MELTDOWN! I hope Belichick has plenty of PAMPERS around in Randy’s size.
3) And to the liberal scum Sports press that was bemoaning the fact that Tom Brady was out for the season… what would you suggest? We cancel the rest of the season? SHAME ON YOU! I have news for you… THERE IS NO ONE BIGGER THAN THE GAME! There were a lot of you that thought Mike Vick was, but here it is a year later and he isn’t missed in the least! Now I shouldn’t even use Tom Brady & Mike Vick in the same breath, but my point is: THERE IS NO ONE BIGGER THAN THE GAME!
4) The Packers will still win the NFC North. They are going to be just fine
5) I was bothered to not hear a SINGLE NFL analyst (pronounced ANAL-CYST if you are talking about Keith Olberman, Chris Collingsworth or most of the ESPN staff) …. NOT ONE… mentioned the Atlanta Falcons as a potentially better team? I watched all 4 of the Falcons pre-season games and though they will not win the Super Bowl, and probably not even the NFC South…. I think there are enough pieces in place that they could easily go 8-8. Much of the human debris on the team like Joe Horn and DeAngelo “head case” Hall are gone, as well as worthless coaches who let the inmates run the asylum. In their place are players that WANT to play and want to win, as well as a coaching staff that seems committed to “righting the ship” and being competitive again.
6) Someone needs to teach DeAngelo Hall how to play football. His dirty hits and attempts to hurt people with late hits and out of bounds tactics are NOT how you play football. He had a history of that in Atlanta, and it looks like he is at it again in Oakland after 1 game. What a worthless individual. Talk about some anger issues he needs to resolve, or something!
7) If last Winter, I had told you that after 1 week, thought that the top 3 QB’s in the AFC would be Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger & Bret Favre, would you have believed me? MAYBE Big Ben, but…. I know the season is young, but it looks to be very exciting if every week is going to be like this! Which leads me to……
8) What happened to some of the AFC elite? The Chargers lose, The Colts lose (and look flat), The Jags Lose… well the Titans won IN SPITE OF Vince Young….which leads me to….
9) How brilliant does Titans Coach Jeff Fisher look right now? If you recall, back in ’06, he wanted to draft Matt Lineart, but was over ruled by Titans ownership to draft Vince Young. Not that Matt Lineart would have taken them to the Promised Land, and not that Matt Lineart is a pro-bowler right now in Arizona….. but I like my chances right now with Matt Lineart at the helm as opposed to Vince Young, the head case! It is your home opener, you win against what could be your biggest rival and your starting QB is getting booed out of the building! Poor Jeff Fisher. I hope Kerry Collins tears it up there in Nashville!
10) The NFC… I am not convinced the Cowboys will be in The Superbowl…. If you put a gun to my head right now, I’d say The NY Giants.
Tampa or hopefully, New Orleans will come out of the South, The Giants in the East, Green Bay in the North and as for the West….. who wants it? Arizona? By default? Maybe Frisco? And I see both Wild Cards falling in the East again this year to The Cowboys and Eagles.
11) ESPN….. I LOVE the opening week Monday Night Football double header! It is a tradition in my household every year. In fact, why not do it EVERY week! You have so many games that get lost in the shuffle every Sunday…. Give us 2 games on Monday nights please….. especially since WWE sux so bad now. Which brings me to…..
12) Who else had the misfortune of watching the 2nd game of the ESPN double on Monday night? The game was OK, and I realize their top announcing team was in Green Bay…. But the Mike Greenburg & Mike Golic combo was HORRID!!!! They didn’t have ANYBODY else that could do that game? No One? At All?
They were beyond terrible! And listening to their liberal ass excuse making every time Jamarcus Russell or DeAngelo Hall did something stupid made me switch the channels a few times. Jamarcus Russell was stinking up the place! Yet at no point did the 2 Mike G’s say anything critical. Why? Did they think they were going to prevent a race war? Ditka finally stepped up and said it like it needed to be said, that Jamarcus his self needs to step up which, of course was greeted by total silence by the 2 liberal turds, Golic & Greenburg. GET RID OF THEM!!!! THEY TRULY SUCK!!!!
13) And the time has come to get rid of 2 preseason games. Let’s play 18 regular season games & 2 preseasons…. And a few teams can have 3 if they want, so they can play the Mexico Bowl or the Japan Bowl or whatever. What? 2 preseason games are not enough? How about we let the teams start the regular season with an expanded roster for the first 2 weeks or so, in an effort to get a better “look see” at some players? I vote ‘YES!”
14) And it is time to add one more WILD CARD to each conference, so that ONLY the #1 seed gets a BYE week at the end of the season.
15) And it is time to do away with SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME in the NFL. What usually happens is whoever wins the coin flip, marches down field and kicks a field goal. Big Whoop! How about changing it to instead of SUDDEN DEATH… first team to score, we do SUDDEN DEATH…..first team to score 6 points? So if someone wins the toss and returns the kickoff for a TD, it is over…. Or throws a TD pass….. but you have to get to 6 points first. I like my idea.
Just a few thoughts I have right now. It is indeed… THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!!
