So, seeing as how training camps are kicking in and guys in pads and helmets are making their way back to the sports pages, I'm amping myself up for football season again. Yays. I'm hoping the Bears do better than last year, and it has everything to do with their new-kid quarterback, who hopefully can stay healthy for more than 3 games this year.

I'm also looking forward to ordering shitty pizza at noon on sundays, drinking pitchers at the bar, and the inevitable half-time buffet. Those chicken wings they have in the crock pot are the best. 

fuck football 

Duly noted.
Have fun with your basketball thread in a couple months. 

fuck basketball too 

I'm hoping the Bears do better than last year,

Not hard.

Of course this is coming from a long-time, die-hard, very bitter Giants fan. 

Well, if they go through 19 quarterbacks like they did last year, they might be lucky to get 2 wins.

I like to hang out at Packer bars and cheer at the wrong time, so everyone knows I'm the enemy. 

cheer at the wrong time,

I do that no matter who is playing. Just figure out the crowd favorite and go for the other team. 

This is it! This is the Saints' year! 

I'm a big time Chiefs fan. Hoping the defense can come together quickly. Lots of new names this year.

Hopefully Priest will be able to last the season. I think he'll split more time with Larry Johnson...think that will help him stay healthy.

damn...can't freakin wait for the season to start!! 

I'm hoping the Eagles can go one better and win the thing this year. Also I hope that I won't have to go to work the next day after staying up until 3.30 am. 

damn...can't freakin wait for the season to start!!

All this and the weather gets nice and autumn-y, baseball really gets interesting...

rock. 

I am stoked about football, i get into Pro Football, but not as much as college football. I am a niners fan, to be honest, i hope this alex smith dude fails completely, iv'e never liked him. I am also a patriots fan, they should have another good season. 

Go niners!

/goes back to corner remembering the glory days of rice, montana, young and walsh 

i three am a niners fan 

I am a Pat's fan. But, I think this will be a tough season. Teddy Bruschi out for the season due to his stroke he suffered. That sucked totally. I hope he can just live a normal life, let alone play football again. Ted Johnson retired because of to many concussions recieved playing football. Romeo Crennel gone to Cleveland, and Charlie Wiess gone to the College ranks...

I know that Bill Belichek knows his stuff, but I would be hard pressed to think that the Patriots will 3-peat.... BUT, you never know. Should be an interesting year. 

1 person:

Norm Chow

he will win it for them this year, i guarantee it 

The Patriots' win streak was set up by the government.

You think it was a coincidence that the PATRIOTs won after 9/11?

Hmm? Hmm?

/me adjusts tinfoil hat, hides from black helicopters 

As I stated, I am a Giants fan (grew up in NY) and my second favorite team is anyone who is playing Dallas.

^ Only fans in football that need to prove they can spell. I love Jersey! 

Go Bengals 

chargers superbowl ring this year baby 

Da Bears. 

Go Broncos!! 

GIANTS 

Rams will be better this year. Beefed up the defense. Jackson will be the starting back with Faulk as a 3rd down/recieving back. O-line more solidified so Bulger doesn't spend so much time on his back or get too hurried and throw to the wrong color jersey. Just hope the rookies and the free agents we got on D work out. Unfortunately no real improvement that I saw to the special teams unit which was either the worst or close to it in the league last year.

Go Rams! and the Chargers cause I live in San Diego. 

That reminds me, where oh where did all those Rams fans go?

I used to see people wearing all sorts of Rams jerseys and hats but now....nothing. Hmmmm.

Kinda like all those 49er and Cowboy fans that mysteriously disappeared a few years ago. 

Go Steelers. Please. 

I am not wiping my butt shaving my face until the Chiefs win the superbowl...

GO Jags!!!!!!

Hate to say your Defense again will be bottom 10 this year, even with Gunther having another season under his belt. The offense though should light up the scoreboard and win a lot of games.

The Donks will be just as good both offense and defense this year, but I'm thinking the D Line might falter and the defense will lose them some games.

AFC West finishes out like this

Chargers 11-5
Broncos 9-7
Chiefs 9-7
Raiders 7-9 

wtf is a donk 

Yep...Defense once again will be the thorn in our side.
What was once one of the most feared defense in the NFL is now just a seive that my slow ass could get through.

Hopefully a few additions will help, but we need more than what we have...

GO CHEFS 

Chargers 11-5
Broncos 9-7 10-6 AT LEAST
Chiefs 9-7
Raiders 7-9

 

Panthers are coming back in the NFC. In the AFC it's pretty clear the assPats will not repeat. I say Colts in the AFC. 

I don't care how the Redskins do as long as they beat the Cowboys and the Giants.

Go Skins. 

That reminds me, where oh where did all those Rams fans go?

Yeah there are always front runners when a team goes to the superbowl a couple times in a few years... it's like the Pats now tons of fans and not just in New England/Boston.

I've been a Rams fan since I was a kid when they were the LA Rams and I used to live 15-20 minutes from anehiem stadium where they actually played. Back in the Jim Everett and Eric Dickerson days when there wasn't much going for them but they were the home team. When they left CA we only had the raiders left in town and I didn't dig on them that much but they were my only "home team" but then they went back to Oakland so I decided the Rams were my team from that point on. Now that I live in San Diego the Chargers are second to the Rams in my book but since they are in different conferences it's all good. My third would be the steelers simply because my wife is from pittsburg and if you know pittsburgers it doesn't matter if they even like football they are die-hard steeler fans it's bizarre.

Apologies for the lengthy disertation on my football fan loyalties... I kinda got carried away. 

GO CHEFS

Great googily-moogily. 

GO CHEFS

Gimme an "E"
Gimme an "M"

gggooooOOOOOOO EMERIL!!!! 

Back in the Jim Everett and Eric Dickerson days

Don't forget Flipper fucking Anderson.

I still harbor a grudge against him for that unbelievable catch against the Giants in the playoffs. 

anyone found an online fantasy cheat sheet yet? 

Tom Brady.

Big Bill.

Say no more. 

In the AFC it's pretty clear the assPats will not repeat. I say Colts in the AFC.

Peyton Manning will NEVER (repeat, NEVER) beat the Patriots in the playoffs. 

Peyton Manning will NEVER (repeat, NEVER) beat the Patriots in the playoffs.

So very, very true.
