Shaping up to be another wonderful season. Once we're rid of Vick, Roethlisberger and all other lockeroom or public cancers the most eminently watchable sports on earth will fly. I'm in for the Big Pond Pub! Go Cowboys! And Saints! And all the others. May the best franchise win!
Originally posted by Grampy Bobbyi was hoping for a thread deviod of any mention of England - alas is there no sanctuary! I followed the broncos last season but they faded after an initial six wins out of six as teams got to know there plays, i kind of like either the Cowboys or the Vikings this year. If anyone has any reason why i should follow a particular team, please let it be heard and i shall honestly give serious consideration to any well reasoned posts.

The NFL really needs to have some West Coast teams become relevant again. LA has no team, and the Bay Area and Seattle teams have stunk the joint up for quite awhile. The Bay Area especially needs to have the Niners or Raiders step their game up. It's good for the locals and it's good for the NFL.

I wonder when the training camps start up.
Go Cards!
though I'm inclined to believe The Shadow (God or Mr. Google) knows.

Too early to know who's strong and who's not. Cowboys should make a run, but Saints should too. Giants shall be back as will the Patriots. Hope they dump locker room cancer Randy Moss. Chargers may finally put a championship season together. Colts always strong, but may still be shellshocked from SB loss. Miami promises to be strong again after a credible 09 season. Steelers always in the mix, but their QB is a huge bastard! Hopefully Titans will make a run. Best RB in the NFL and a great OL, so who knows. Houston Texans should be the dark horse. Jets should be able to make a run. I love Mark Sanchez and hope he keeps playing well. Vikings might be really bad if Favre does not return. Bears might make a run. Denver will fade into oblivion. Redskins might make a run with a decent coach. 0-16 potential teams: Seattle, Raiders, Chiefs, Browns. Leaves meager pickin's! Gosselin should help you pick a team. His sober anaylisis is always spot on!

least until after the announcement of our two 2010 NFL 'Big Pond Pub' competitions.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyScacchi scale is reserved for teams I hate. NFL teams are all of scacch's liking thus far. Hope someone rises to the top unpredictably and stays there unlike Denver Broncos. Have never liked the Bears that much, but with daughter going to UofC that might change. Vehemently supported the Hawks in Stanley Cup finals!

Well, it's GO STEELERS - with a hopeful prayer that Big Ben (not the London one) either grows up and joins the human race or can be replaced by someone who's as good (not likely, sigh). Still, the Steelers are the best ever with six championship rings and a great team set to go. It's all about Ben going in to this season, though.
Originally posted by Frank BurnsIf 'Big Ben' is picking up the soap, it'll be 'Westminster Abe' whose got his hand on the shower temperature dial. Watch out Seattle. You're dealing with greater forces than you realise.
Keep your eye on the Seattle Seadogs. They're in the hunt. Them and the Casinos.
Big Ben will be picking up bars of soap in the shower. Too bad for Steelers fans.
Grampy is one of the few who would understand that, and I always rely on his judgement.
