It’s Here! It’s Really Here! Well Almost!

Fore score and 6 months and 5 days ago we watched the last televised football game of of any consequence. That makes this Thursday so stupendous because it brings us the first nationally televised football game since the Super Bowl on February 6th. Take a deep breath though since it is only preseason and we will have to endure 4 weeks of meaningless scrums before the real thing begins in 28 days. Then on September 8th we will get to enjoy a game at Lambeau pitting the last two Super Bowl Champs Saints and Packers against each other.

This year it is more than preseason though because it is the end of a long battle between NFL owners and players. The time has come to study long and hard on who you want to take in the 12th round of your fantasy football draft and to determine if this is the year you upgrade your television for your NFL watching enjoyment. In the last three weeks there has been a whirlwind of free-agent signings and looking forward there is a strong possibility of injuries which should lead to a wild and wacky season. It’s almost time to defrost the frozen potato skins, DiGiorno pizzas and buffalo wings because it’s time for FOOTBALL!

Thursday 8/11

Favorite Week in the NFL

davidbarbar — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 22:33:34 +0000

This is the week in the 2010 NFL season where you have a lot of favorites who will cover. The year has been littered with parity, but that streak is over, at least for this week. Here are some monster selections

CHIEFS (-7) over Cardinals
I’m gonna continue to ride the Chiefs at home until they lose. I’m a big Todd Haley fan even though his Chiefs were embarrassed last week in Denver. Take the Chiefs.
========================
Ravens (-10.5) over PANTHERS
When you can lay 10.5 points against a 31-year-old QB with no career starts you have to do it. Last week Brian St. Pierre was playing Mr. Mom, but this week he is lunch for Ray Lewis. Take the Ravens.
=========================
SAINTS (-11.5) over Seahawks
The game I have been waiting for all season is finally here. I’m excited for the Reggie Bush/Pete Carroll reunion. During their postgame handshake, they will hire a third party to give Reggie $100K in cash while Pete looks the other way. Take the Saints.
=========================
Falcons (-3) over RAMS
You’re a potential # 1 seed coming off 10 days of rest. These are the games which show the league that they are looking up at you. Atlanta comes in and crushes the Rams.

Fantasy Football Time

I had my draft on Sunday and it was an absolute blast. I quickly found out that I would be the #1 pick which in all reality I wasn’t too pleased with, but what do you do. The time frame between picks and then having to pick 2 in a row with the serpentine method can make things quite difficult. Overall I am very pleased with my team, but I think most people are before the season starts. Below is my full roster and down the road I will update you on who will be my week one starters. Hail Fantasy Football and Cheers to the NFL. Sundays are about to get a lot better!

QB Jake Delhomme

QB Steve McNair

RB Jamal Lewis

RB Larry Johnson

RB Dominic Rhodes

WR Joey Galloway

WR Keenan McCardell

WR Anquan Boldin

WR Mushin Muhammad

TE Randy McMichael

TE Alge Crumpler

K Sebastian Janikowski

K Matt Stover

D San Diego

D Atlanta
