Also I think the Packers roll the Eagles on Sunday.

Defense played like garbage in the preseason, even by vanilla standards. Granted, there were like 3 or 4 starters that were held out of most of the games, but it definitely showed a lack of depth.

That's part of the reason I hate the idea of Tramon Williams returning punts. They're one nasty hit on a return away from having to give Jarrett Bush or Sam Shields significant playing time. He's a decent return man, I just don't like the risk.

ESPN stat for opening game of the NFL has the home team at 6-0 ever since NFL switched to opening game including the defending champion at home in 2004.

Last time a defending champion lost their 1st game at home was in 1999 with Denver.

Dave Matthews is still going? jesus

Is Harry Connick Jr drunk?

That might have been the worst opening for anything ever.

I think the Vikings and Saints just joined Nexus.

I hope this doesnt get too out of hand early

BRET FAVRE

One would think the only song they know how to play in NOLA is that stupid Saints marching song.

Garrett Hartley sucks

Just noticed the Saints have both the NFC champion banner and Superbowl champion banner hanging up at the same time. They might even have a division banner up as well.

Shouldn't it be just the Superbowl banner that gets raised and not the minor ones earned since the championship has higher status than the rest for a season.

They wouldn't be the only team to ever do this since Tampa Bay in MLB managed to put up both a division banner and AL Pennant banner up for the same season.

God Brad Childress sucks at everything

so much for that

yay football

They've been a pretty pitiful franchise up until this point, they've got a lot of space to fill.

Since someone needs to:

WHO DAT

Tom Brady's getting paidy in the shady.

Chad Ochocinco, as announced by WWE on Thursday, will host "Raw" when it takes place in Cincinnati on September 13.

Oddly enough, this really isn't that surprising, right? In fact, the WWE site says it best : "So what's left for Chad Ochocinco? Gust hosting Raw, of course!"

The WWE site also mentions Chad's iPhone app as well as his cereal, with links no less, so it seems safe to say that there's some sort of synergy at work here. (Finding out that Ochocinco announces something to the crowd about his app wouldn't be that shocking either, honestly; and a half-price download for anyone in the crowd with an iPhone would just be pure genius.)

Either way, the good news is that if you're a wrestling fan who lives in Cincy and somehow hasn't gotten your full quota of Ochocinco before the season starts, there's an event coming up just for you.

:roll:

Being good?

Winning the Super Bowl?

they even had a number 1 album last year and had 2 grammy nods...so yes, they are still going.

Not surprised Saints won the game. Vikings didnt look too in sync with each other

Yeah man hopefully he'll finally get good for his next 10,000 yards.

I just wish he could be as good as those Giants receivers. Talk about talent!

He was my fantasy Kryptonite for two years. Of course he was decent, was.

And you watch out for Hakeem the Dream Nicks.

Fleetwood Hak could be pretty good, I just don't trust UNC players in the pros. Even Peppers.

I have to rely on him, considering the best Giants WR in recent memory was denied work-release.

New York Nicks

Defense looked good last night..

I guess 20 year vets might actually need training camp after all..

eat aids and die you fucking faggot

Over an hour ago - RB Maurice Jones-Drew says Denver LB D.J. Williams picked on him in high school. "It’s true. They tried to slam me in the locker, stuff like that. Every time we’ve played them I always remind him. This is another chance for him to hear it.” Jaguars RapidReports

I think Nicks will evolve into the more prototypical "playmaker" style of WR. Smith on the other hand is just that dependable, throw it to me on third down type of guy. They're not superstars, but I'd take those two over the majority of other teams one and two WR.

Steve Smith is a solid possession receiver, Amani 2.0

Whoever wins on Sunday gets to be called Steve Smith, the other gets to be the other Steve Smith.

Steelers +2 1/2 (vs Falcons)
Colts - 2 1/2 (@ Texans)
Packers - 3 1/2 (@ Eagles)
49ers - 3 1/2 (@ Seahawks)

What are my odds of winning $300? Not worried one bit about the 49ers and Packers as they should be able to cover pretty easily. Slightly worried about the Colts but I just dont think the Texans are ready yet..still. And the Steelers being a dog at home vs the Falcons is a joke.

hope you lose all yr money this year

I hope so too.

I made a show bet on the Chargers with a 49ers/Steelers/Browns exacta.
