I know there are plenty of haters, but Go Cowboys!
If not Cowboys, then anyone but the Patriots or Steelers.
Or anyone in the NFC East.
Or any of the New York teams.
Yeah...anyone else.
Boo. Go Steelers. One for the other....umm....index finger?

Of course, L.A. is possibly the worst sports town in America for real (not fair weather or fashionable) fans, so, eh...
Actually I started calling them the Traitors when they went from Oakland to L.A. I had been a fan until then.

They managed to work up to mediocre at the end of the season. :)

That was...yep...Al Davis following the money.

Hmmm, kick it with Giselle in Aspen or shower with 53 dudes a few hours after 11 other dudes just tried to kill you...
I was thinking basically the same thing. I'm guessing that Brady can pretty much retire from the NFL if he wants to.
Any guesses how his understudy is going to do at Kansas City? IMO, it's going to be a long year for Matt Cassel.

I think Cassel got a swelled head from being in NE and is going to bomb horribly.
Now watch, the Chiefs win the Super Bowl....
Since all they have to do is win the AFC West to get into the playoffs, which won't be difficult, some miracles could happen during the playoffs. Then the joke would be on all of us.

I believe Soccer has never caught on here in the states because it is not high scoring enough. Hockey may be low scoring too, but you have fights. You know…'cause we miss our coliseum and lions.
From what I hear the primary complaint about American football and baseball are that they are too slow. At least Canadian football sees more scoring. How many touchdowns do you guys see in a typical game?
Hockey? Show me a faster game. You know how fast that puck is moving? How about those guys with knives on their feet? And if you want to see fans on the edge catch a breakaway in a playoff game. And don't blink, cuz it's going fast.
The fighting in hockey has little to do with the intensity.

Australian Rules football is a very fast game good to play difficult to watch as the ball travels the field too fast.
If you want an insane game that is fast and is a combination of soccer and field hockey Hurley is your sport. I was caught the all Ireland finals (Limerick versus Cork) a few years ago. You can swing your stick above your head, you can attack the other players legs. There is no padding or helmets - Saw one guy take a stick to the face... after he hit the ground a trainer ran on gave his face a bit of a spray from the water bottle and he was back up and in the game.
My personal preference is Rugby Union.... Go the Tah's
For American football I picked the Redskins to support (We don't say "root for" in Australia as the phrase has very different connotations). To me American football is more of a game of Chess with the coach having playing a greater tactical role. Although I don't know how many quarterbacks would like to be described as a Queen.

Well, he had to do something to get his mind off losing Mary to Ted. Otherwise he'd just be sitting around with Woogie, Tucker, Healy and the crazy old fisherman with the rifle listening to Warren say, "Franks and Beans, Franks and Beans!"
That would be a sucky retirement.

Will he or won't he, the Brett Farve soap opera begins anew.
He will. Until his shoulder gives out 7 games into the season. Then it's all Tavaris Jackson.
I was thrilled to learn my team's head coach has learned the motivational technique of putting assistant coaches in the hospital. If only more leaders did this. Really, if someone f%+@s up where I work, it would be great if the VP of Engineering just beat that s!+! out of him.

Sunday's five most valuable players
I found this amusing:
Let's go with a stat from Curt Menefee. During an in-game update to show viewers of other games an Adrian Peterson touchdown run, Menefee used the name Peterson one time, and the name Favre three times. On a touchdown run. I just thought people should know that Peterson, with his 180 yards and three touchdowns, played okay yesterday, too.
Now, I am a Cowboy fan, but Romo? Really? He did well, but I do not think he earned a spot in the top five. Two of those TDs he threw were after the catch and really should go to the receivers.
