Oh my GOD

Any Seattlites wanna join me, I’ll be at “LTD” bar in Fremont. Cool new sports bar.
Can’t wait to hear/see the Superdome thundering to Brees’ chant!!!

This'll be the best the Saints look all year.
They’ll smear the field with purple, then fade with frustration the rest of the way by being merely above average.
I think the Saints run away with this one.
Vikings are absolutely screwed at CB. There’s no way they’ll be able to match up when the Saints go 4 wide.
Hard to disagree
Except.. you know, Favre.

Lets do this!!!

Depends what your into
The toasted subs with grease are better but for a healthy sub I would go subway. Local Sub places usually win in my opinion though. If you want the quick fix you just got to sacrafices

Quizno's toasted subs
The bread is just too dry for me.

Breads important
I like as little bread as possible thats why I like local places because Bread is an after thought. They actually fill the sandwich and not count the amount of olives they are putting in.. I agree that bread can be too dry at Quizss

I have it the opposite
I live and die by bread. I eat biscuits, pancakes, muffins, sliced bread, sub bread, rolls, etc.
The bread is most important and the meat, cheese, and pickles are tied for 2nd.

And the hatred of fantasy football begins, the very first game.
I hate the Vikings, but I’ve got Fav-ruh on my fantasy team. AUGH!
Maybe I should take it the other way. I can be happy either way! If Favre loses, YAY you suck. If Favre wins, YAY I get points.
I've had a very rough day, dealt with stupid people, we almost ran over a dog
But now I’m home, where I can watch FOOTBALL!

The Bengals are picking up Owen Schmitt
Owen has a rap sheet? Or are they signing him because he’s just as crazy as T.O or Ochocinco without getting arrested?

I'm really baffled as to why the Bengals are a somewhat trendy Super Bowl pick.

I keep talking about football with all the customers who call in to work
I suppose I’ll be frowned at eventually for that haha
I got Saints 34 Vikings 22
I also have a Packers/Ravens Super Bowl (Packers win), Miami to win the AFC East, and the Patriots to miss the playoffs.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
Same SB picks as me.
But I figure Pats will get at least one more playoff run in before Moss falls off a cliff and Brady starts to decline.
Might have to agree with the SB pick.
Just for fun, my picks.
AFC:
East-Patriots
Central-Ravens
West-Raiders
South-Colts
WC-Dolphins
WC-Texans
NFC:
East-Dallas
Central-Packers
West-49ers
South-Saints
WC-Eagles
WC-……upset special….Lions
Superbowl Ravens over Packers.
It's not totally far fetched the Lions make the playoffs
And I’d totally root for them.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
Definitely. Seahawks Midwest > Vikings
Plus, I like Stafford.

Some great weapons; Burleson, Calvin Johnson, Pettigrew.
Best and Smith should make a solid combo, Sims improves that o-line. Worried about the defense, but the O has a lot of potential.
Alright heres mine
AFC:
East-Jets
Central-Ravens
West-Raiders
South-Colts
WC-Patriots
WC-Texans
NFC:
East-Giants
Central-Packers
West-Seahawks (yes I hate division that much)
South-Saints
WC-Cowboys
WC-Vikings

ok, so it's not really a comedy

Nah. It would totally happen in a comedy too.
Couldn’t you picture it? There’s all of the little emotional interviews, the dramatic music and then on the first play he gets hammered by some big, fat lineman.

With Darren Sharper and their pass rush, maybe.
But they gamble so much, they aren’t really a shutdown defense.
New Orleans should try to run the ball more. Preferably with Bush.

To wear ones jersey, to have a moniker of an admired person, is cool . . .
But to have the name and the exact same picture as the Great Walter Jones’s twitter account, and a his nickname . . . isn’t that a little too close to impersonation?

I wonder why they don't do more Bush screens instead of Thomas.

Not much of an ending.
0-1
A few more weeks and Farve will be sleeping in the locker room then retiring and driving back to Hattiesburg.
