    Default Finally!! - Football is back!!!!

    It's back - and I can breathe again.

    Preseason Football is over, and College Football is back in full swing!!

    Today is the first full day of College Football, and I must admit, it takes some getting used to all over again. Most of the games are not competitive, but it does count. Did you see Florida stink up the field?? Hard time for these guys this year. I do appreciate watching college players, and accepting it as a different game.

    Just 5 more days until the Pros get started, but this Labor Day start to the season is a nice appetizer. Get my groove back in gear.

    I am not a fantasy player - so a bad game is just that to me. I'd rather not watch, than to have to see the Pros stink up the field.

    Two interesting developments - Matt Leinert getting cut, and Pittsburgh's QB situatiion. I am so NOT a Steeler fan, til their troubles do not bother me one little bit!! The show must go on, and for the next FOUR MONTHS, we fans can enjoy, agonize, commiserate, heckle and emphathize to our hears' content!

    Think you'll find football actually started again back in August

    I have heard that an inferior version that uses hands and loads of padding as well as lasting absolutely hours is starting again soon, must be that

    Finally is right!!! My live draft is tonight for a Fantasy Football league I joined.

    This is going to be my 4th year playing FF and this is going to be my year!! I will be the CHAMPION this year!!

    As a (cough, cough) AZ Cardinals fan, it was a little sad to see Matt Leinert being let go. I think the guy just didn't get the break he needed to come out and shine.

    And with Kurt Warner gone ............... oh well, all I can do is sit back and watch and hope my Cards will be the CHAMPIONS this year also!

    And that's great for the rest of the world, but for here in the USA, there is no other game like ours!! We know it is a barbarian sport, but be that as it may, sportsbooks look to our game to make their money. Even though 1000X more people play "your version" of football, it doesn't make anyone any money, and the fantasy players are not so fanatical either!!

    At the games, there is no comparison on whose fans are more psycho!! (except for Phil Eagles fans, of course - They even have a jail at the stadium!!)

    Yeah, you need to stop fantasizing like that..it can't be good for you! You're actually starting Derek Anderson, you do know that, don't you? Although I agree that the Cardinals should have won the SB vs the Steelers, Kurt Warner's record was 9-7 and 10-6, hardly something to inspire adulation for any other QB. Vince Young did better and he was villified

    Beyond that, you should be eternally grateful Whisenhunt had sense enough to run Matt Leinert out of town!! Count your blessings!!

    i love football

    but after the world cup


    i was so disappoint that the team and players i love were weeded out


    now what i expect is the NBA

    also balls

    thought not football
    I do love Basketball, and have already made plans to see Miami's Trio when they come to Memphis to play!! Should be an exciting season, but we have til June to look forward to that. March Madness hasn't even come around yet.

    Actually, you guys have the best chance to improve in a very long time!! You have a QB, a running game, top receiver, and defensive stoppers!! Suh will learn from Van Den Bosch how to play within himself, and improve steadily throughout the season. You've even got a seasoned db (Dre Bly) to control the secondary.

    I'm looking at them the way GB was when they first got Reggie White!! (Favre was an unknown trade from the Falcons.) Just sit back and enjoy!!

    Just screwing with ya, in fact looking forward to the season, another season of weary disapointment as i cheer on the Oakland Raiders.

    Will still stick few euros on them even though i know they wont do squat, thinking my main bet will be Green Bay, but this year looks very hard to call, no stand out teams.

    In my opinion anyway

    I'm ready!

    I'm a Bronco & Steeler fan so I need a lot of help this year, but we will see how it goes. hehe

    Geez Betpartners...the Raiders? Oh God, I'm gonna be sick. LOL

    The Cards first game just ended and I can breathe now. OMG, I am so NOT impressed with our new QB and just thank God we pulled off that win.

    I'm not even impressed with the points my Fantasy Football QB, Drew Brees, made for me. My bench QB scored more points for me! David Garrard.

    Oh, and The Dallas Cowboys, Amateur?

    I am surrounded by Dallas lovers which is the only reason why I go for the other team whenever Dallas plays.

    Well i won 2 of my 3 bets this weekend. Who would think that i could bet Detroit and win, while the team loses. Most lion fans know better than to bet on them, since they'll do just about anything to devastate their fans

    Seems like lions QBs don't come back from injuries very well. I haven't heard a prognosis, but without Stafford the lions will have trouble doing much better than last year.

    I guess it's time to turn my focus to New England and hope Brady stays healthy.

    I'll miss the summer, but football will help keep me warm.

    I am seriously worried about my Cowboys!! Not only for the offensive line issues, which are bad, but also the play calling!! What was the upside to calling a play with 9 secs. left in the first half??? Take a knee and regroup!! I have a feeling there will be some changes in the coaching staff!!

    On a happy note, my "other" team, Tennessee Titans, really looked great!! Not sure which game(s) I'll get to this year, but not any after mid-October, it's just too cold in that stadium...it's right on the Columbia River, with a howling wind that froze my butt off!! Not again. More likely to get to a Saints game, it's always nice weather - in a dome!

    ....
    Geez Fred, I always thought you were a great guy... NE fans tend to "overlook" recent history..

    OFFTOPIC!!

    Ok, I really need to digress right here and explain why I despise NE Pats so much!!

    Remember a few yrs ago when Belichick was accused of cheating? The NFL confiscated those tapes and "burned" them. If it wasn't much going on, why go to so much trouble, and incur the questions and speculations about why they burned them? A 3-time SB Champion caught cheating!! And each win was only by 3 pts.!! Any little advantage is worth a FG attempt, and with Vineteri it's a given.

    It's not like Billy was heralded as such a great "genius" before. He was run out of town in Cleveland, so how did he get so smart? The only SB where he didn't get his "advantage", he lost!! By 3 pts.!! If I'm not mistaken, Billy was Asst Head Coach for NE when they lost to Green Bay. Where was his "genius" then?

    I Bill Belichick a cheat, a smart one, but a cheat nonetheless, and I have no respect for his accomplishments in winning 3 SB's.

    If you berate Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds, A-Rod, et al, don't give this guy a pass!! If you call out affiliate programs for changing Terms, and Predatory Practices, what's the difference? Cheating is cheating!! His actions cost a lot of ppl money and jobs, and the game a true barometer of who was the best team!
