I'm surprised that they didn't make a bigger move for a top name QB in the draft.

But I was always a Plummer fan. For all of his stupid mistakes, people forget he still won over 70% of his starts in Denver, which was a far higher winning percentage than Elway. I'm glad Cutler is the QB, and they made the switch at the right time, but I always liked the guy. Brett Favre made stupid plays and he was called a "gunslinger who just wants to win" while Plummer made the same stupid play and was called an idiot for it.

How ya figure? Green Bay will likely take the division and the wild cards will likely go to other teams. Not trying to pick on ya (although I have every right since you're a Vikings fan, lol), I'm just being skeptical.

Hmm. The Browns had a pretty damned good season last year, just too bad 10 wins wasn't enough to make the Playoffs. This year they should be even better, not necessarily record-wise, but as far as actual talent is concerned. They vastly improved the defensive line via the trade, DA has a full year under his belt, and out O-line is seen by many as the best in the league. Should be fun!

Things look good so far. So go Cowboys. Going to 2 games this year, should be fun watching them kill the Rams and 49ers. Ready for Hard Knocks to start this week on HBO and some game action next weekend.

Tonight we all get to start laughing at the Redskins.

oh well, Bears will suck again! Thank god we still have sexy rexy! It wouldn't be a disappointing season without him! we can get rid of benson but not rex, isn't he just as bad if not worse? when does baseball start again?

I'm a jags fan and this year is looking to be exciting. We have some tough games with the steelers at home and a couple others.

My other team is the raiders and well, I'm just gonna be quiet now because there isn't a whole lot to say about them....

Just waiting for all the Favre drama to end so the Packers can get on with some football. Watching the family night scrimmage on fox right now.

I can't wait either. Now with Favre coming to camp, I gotta wonder if the Packers are going to fuck with him. Perhaps get his hopes up of starting, to remove his desire for a trade, then at the last minute, tell him he's backup. Packers get the QB they've wanted and they prevent a very lethal weapon from going to another team.

Personally, I still hope he gets traded. He'd be more valuable to another team to help carry a team until their rookie QB is ready, much like Bledsoe and Dallas.

If only I have another team to cheer for besides Niners. They suck year after year and things don't figure to get better with Martz as the OC. I just hope the fans can stop coming to the stadium and York is forced to sell the team.
