The Obvious: I predict the AFC will be represented by either New England or Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. I say the NFC is up for grabs(Cowboys!) but don't want to impose my bias opinion on you(COWBOYS!).
Now the Obviously Funny:
- Detroit decided to go ahead and play the 2009-10 season. I imagine owner, William Clay Ford, saying "We can't do worse than last year." That's the spirit.
- The NFL rules and regulations committee needs to set up an age limit for it's players. Not that they're coming in to young, but when you have senior citizens that just had hip replacement surgery still playing...... Oh, well my editor just informed me that I had my information mixed up. It seems Brett Favre didn't get hip replacement, but arthroscopic surgery to his throwing arm. Never mind then let the old guy play.
- Josh McDaniels. What a guy. A young coach, comparable to Mike Tomlin. A great mind, the mind behind Bill Belichick's '08-'09 Pats. What a..... Yoko. Who in the Mile High City would have thought that their franchise quarterback would be throwing passes in Chicago by the '09-'10 season. All because Cutler's a baby and McDaniels wanted Matt Cassel. Matt Cassel, that leads me to my next point:
- Matt Cassel: BUST. That felt good. Now I'm in the mood for calling out more busts
- Carson Palmer: BUST.
- Matt Leinart: BUST.
- Mark Sanchez:_______(reserved)
- The scoreboard in Dallas is so big, that I swear I saw it when I flew over Dallas. With a scoreboard that stretches from the 20 yard line to the 20 yard line, I think it's safe to say that It is definitely the second biggest object in the new Cowboy Stadium after Jerry Jones' ego.
- How is it that JaMarcus Russell can never come to camp in shape? Not that the guy ever was in shape, but for an athlete, especially a quarterback. I'd expect more.
- OchoCinco, EightFive for the non-spanish speaking community, is predicting great things. This wouldn't be on my funny list, but Carson Palmer is the guy that throws the ball to him.
- And last but not least is how funny it's going to be to watch the Chargers win their division. They play Denver, Oakland, and KC twice.. TWICE! That my friends is Webster's definition of a Gimme.
The above topics all happened before the first snap of the regular season. I can only imagine what's to come during the season. One thing is for sure the next 5 months are the greatest months of the year.
