NFL Preview

It’s another week of football and this time we look at the NFL.
In case you haven’t notice, the biggest story since the end of the last season was the Brett Favre situation. It’s actually been very surreal watching it all. Favre wants to comeback, the Packers don’t want him, Favre shows up, Favre leaves, the Packers give him money to stay retired, Favre goes to Jets. It’s definitely weird to see him in a different shade of green. I don’t think anyone really wants to see him do this. It’s a lot like Jordan coming back to play for the Wizards. It probably won’t turn out to be the best experience and we’ll just try to erase from our memories.
The other team in New York is the defending Super Bowl champions, just in case you forgot. They can stumble it do it last year and no one is really convinced Eli Manning is that good. They’ll be competing in a tough division and still have to some drama problems.
It will be interesting to see how the team they beat does this year. You have to think they are still hung over. I think they’ll struggle to win 12 games this year and probably won’t make it back to the Super Bowl. They just can’t have another season like that again.
This is the Dallas Cowboys year. They are loaded. Tony Romo, Marion Barber, Felix Jones, Jason Witten, Terrell Owens, Demarcus Ware, Anthony Henry just to name a few. They are easily the most talented team in the NFC but they still have to prove they can win it counts because they have terrible in the only two playoff games, both losses. Anything less than making it to the Super Bowl will be considered a failure.
The Indianapolis Colts seem like the team that is built to win it this year. They still have everything in place from two years ago and everyone is on the same page. If they stay healthy, they have the right attitude and setup to go all the way again.
The Raiders are still a year or so away but they building up a nice collection with Jamarcus Russell coming along nicely and that Darren McFadden guy is well, really good. If they don’t self-implode they can make a playoff push.
It will be fun to see how the quarterback battles play out in Cleveland, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Chicago, Arizona and San Francisco. That’s a lot of teams with an unsteady situation under center, even for the revolving door of the NFL.
The over/under on the number of players that are going to be suspended this year for violation personal conduct is seven. Please place you bet at the closet strip club.
Well, 21 straight weeks of pro football are getting ready to come your way. Get the beer and chips ready because only the strongest survive.
