Originally posted by darvlayIv'e been watching the NFL for a while now. Pre-season is a borefest and means absolutely nothing. Basically it's an extended training camp.
NFL pre-season is the worst. It boggles my mind as to why some fans will pay full ticket prices to see one of these joke games. It's a cash grab and a rip-off, if you ask me, not to mention totally unnecessary...

Originally posted by kes29Thanks for the question, Kes. With our "2010 NFL Season Big Pond Pub" and your present selections in 2009...
How much points would I have based on last year results?
* Level #1 Challenge: 2009 Super Bowl teams INDI & NO (winner). Your 2010 CHIC, SEAT, SF picks wouldn't have factored.
* Level #2 Challenge: You'd have scored a total of twelve points: 1 each for INDI, SD and NE qualifying for post season,
as well as nine for INDI qualifying to play in the 2009 Super Bowl (12 - 3, since you ranked INDI third for 2010). No worries
though, Kes. NFL is anything but static. Teams seldom repeat. Cinderella underdog teams often surprise.
