Well, we did it the first game, we’ll do it the second game and on, and on, and on. My personal list of what I will be wacthing for in the Redskins/Bills 7PM showdown tomorrow. I pick out 5 or 6 specific things I will personally zone in on.

Redskins injury update & Horton looks good
THe title says all……Its ok to say your team is going to be better this year than last year, but to make bold predictions like they are going to win the super bowl, i dont kknow man/woman especially after last years display of mediocrity at best….I know I didnt say Giants were going to win the Super Bowl until the playoffs started…THat being said I have nothing against the fans, its just funny how optimistic these fans are, like honestly relax till the season starts…geez St Louis I thought Cowboys fans were addicted to their team, Im starting to think Eagles are up their. So as wild as it maybe underneath sorry, I numbered 6 or 7 topics in which I copy and pasted Eagles fans quotes….I commented on as well..So feel free to say what you want…..keep it peaceful and respectful which really is hard for a lot of people….. 1)Some People Saying McNabb best QB in NFC….Until that old Fart Favre leaves, Your Number 2 graduate of Syracuse…..Eli is 3 and Romo is 4….Hasselwack is 5 cuz hes sister in law is a dumbass…. 2) Steve Smith coming to Eagles–> “Steve Smith is one of the best receivers in the game and if we landed him we would have another weapon for McNabb and someone who can take the pressure off of Westbrook. The Eagles have been trying to land a big name receiver all off season and now is there time. If we really want to go for it we need to get Steve Smith. We could try trading Lito and a first. Although that probably wouldn’t work we could try another offer for Smith. I would give Lito and both first round picks for Smith.” (STEVE SMITH ISNT GOING ANYWHERE RELAX) 3) EAGLES DBS—> FIrst Ill start with saying they were 19th ranked in pass defense last year….my Giants were 11th and thats saying something because I felt that was the weakest part of our Defense but that was all attributed to Sam Madison getting burned….we held our ground though in playoffs….so here are optimist and bias quotes from Eagles fans on their DBS being number 1… “Brian Dawkins, Asante Samuel, Lito Sheppard, Sheldon Brown, Quentin Mikell, Sean Considine….. need I say anymore?”—> gr8 on paper like most teams but when its time to play, whole different story…. “Plaxico Burress and TO twice a year for the Eagles shows how the Eagles secondary isnt amazing and at best average if not for Brian Dawkins….Asante Samuel should have stayed in NE where there were no recievers in his division or QBS from the teams in AFC east.”–> I SAID THIS AND SOME DUDE REPLIED Underneath!!!! “Booker are u crazy quit hatin on the eagles Plax ill admit has been a problem but TO doesnt do much with Lito on him except drop passes and get mad at the qb.”–> Im not H8n im stating Facts…. “oh and my reasons…..sheppard is a pro bowl player…brown is a great hitter and evryone knows he is good enough to go to the pro bowl samuel is a pro bowl player dawkins is one of the best of all time and still has gas in the tank to flourish with the big 3 around him (u heard of the celtics KG pierce and allen, well this is asante lito and sheldon) and then quintin mikell knows how to play in this defense and is a solid safety to have with all the other stars”—-> PRO BOWLS DONT GET YOU TO SUPER BOWL,,,Case in Point NYG last year, Pittsburgh Steelers years back and the Bucs a couple years prior….. 4) WHEN AN EAGLE FAN STRIKES HE STRIKES WITH GR8 Language—> “I Am A Top Contributor On Yardbarker And Other Eagles Fans Do Like Me. You Guys Suck And Annt74 Suck To” (HAHAHAH) “how are the eagles worse? their linebacking core is 2 times better than last year, their secondary is the best in the league they have a really good returner in deshawn jackson. You cant just say something and not back it up. How does the O-line for the redskins get better when they get a year older? Just because they got jason taylor doesnt make their defense that much better, its one player who would rather dance they play football (little bit gay if you ask me)” —> NOBLE ARGUMENT BUT MATHETMATICALLY HOW IS A LB CORE 2 TIMES BETTER, I DONT KNOW MAN, DOUBLE THE TACKLES, DOUBLE THE SACKS?? But The argument against Redskins I give him that…(FROM THE JV Artricle on who winnign SUperbowl) BROUSE 310 (IS A FUNNY GUY)–> Todd Pinkston Greatest reciver for the eagles of all time, Donovan McNabb Good QB for Eagles, dude look at how good mcnabb as almost as good as aaron brooks SOME H8rs of Brouse (Primarily eagles Fans) “by the way brouse nice way to spell consideration…conciteration wtf is that. no wonder why you spelt LILEagle’s name wrong u moron” “no i dont like you…just my oppinon theres being optimistic…then theres being brouse310 ….if u really wanna talk about how good the raiders are…do it somewhere else or in like 20 years…plus i cant understand half of what u say” “I can’t believe this weak ass post has made it to Most Comments This Week. Some funny looking dude with a statement backed up with no stats. WOW!” 5) SUPERBOWL–> “eagles 6-10? have u saw their schedule? easy 11-5 12-4 season no doubt..this is the year philly fans…i heard tampa is nice in feburary…and mcnabb is gonna enjoy the win in florida…then enjoy hawaii in the probowl” (recent Superbowl Article JV) —Until you go through the Giants then yea but your still peons to the Kings of the NFL—EAgLES Fans always say they going to the SuperBowl— 6) WHEN OTHER FANS BASH EAGLES FANS WhiteJordan Bashing the eagles fans is priceless—> “ATTENTION Philadelphia Eagles fans…. this is what you have sounded like ever since you came here. I can’t wait until week 12 when you guys are saying your gonna go undefeated next year and win it all. Stop. You are decent, not great, decent. Maybe playoffs, maybe not. If we could, I’m sure 90% of Yardbarkers would get all you Eagles fans off the site if we could, not saying I don’t enjoy a few of your thoughts and analysis, but if you include everyone, the people that say things like “BRETT FAVRE TO PHILLY???” or “Eagles are going undefeated!” or any other idiotic post ruin it and sometimes a few rotten apples can spoil the barrel” 7) EaGLE Fan Keeping it Realistic—> THIS FAN here has a good and unbias reflection on the Eagles–> (http://melnickandgrecofantasysports.com/PHILADELPHIA-EAGLES-2008-Preview-Report.html) Concluding this long article…you should get a couple points…..Eagles Fans are way optmistic and bias….Not all of course….and Please Everyone w8 till season starts, enough with the predictions, i’ll just do my job and poke fun at it…..nothing personal as well….If I had any prediction about the Eagles, Plaxico Burress and Co. will embarrass the Eagles as usual.,…So if Im wrong their you go Eagles fans, mark my words…..Enjoy…..

Philly Fans are So Optimistic im starting To Become a Pessimist!!!
My next attempt to beet the Steven Jackson holdout horse to death. 11 days of Rams camp have elapsed, and the impasse between the team and running back Steven Jackson is showing no signs of coming to a close. 39 now owes a total of $165000 in fines, and is missing the joint practice between the Rams and Titans in Nashville. Today is the infamous deadline for Jackson to report and accrue a year of seniority towards unrestricted free agency in the event that he doesn’t get a new deal with the Rams, and the collective bargaining agreement isn’t extended. I want to rays one more point in regard to the deadline that may or may not be valid. I would pose this question. It is my understanding that a player’s pension is at least in part based on a player’s years of accrued service. ($5600 for every season after a player’s third according to some available internet reports.) If so, might Jackson be taking a small chunk out of his pension for life after the game? Just one more wrinkle in a story being totally overshadowed by happenings elsewhere in the state of Wisconsin. And so for now concludes this portion of the Favre free zone. Dear Mr. Favre, please stop making fantasy football harder then it needs to be. With the well documented debacle in Green Bay capturing headlines all over the place, it is hard to escape the endless break down of the various possibilities for what the Pack will do with Brett Favre. With fantasy football drafts sprouting up in the coming weeks, what impact does this mess have on members of the Packer offense? Gregg Jennings, Donald Driver, Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, and yes, even Brett Favre are all names that will be drafted in almost all leagues. Especially with the two signal callers, the outcome of this nightmare will affect these players. So please Green Bay, figure this out, the “Windy City Hit men” need answers. For what its worth, I love Jennings and Rodgers, and am not as high on Ryan Grant, sounds like last year’s second rounder Brandon Jackson is having a solid camp. And while I’m on the subject I am at a complete loss for how high to rank Peyton Manning (I am in a league with an auto draft). So I will add a request to the Colts brass to my wish list, quit sending mixed signals about when Peyton will be back! My weekend of total football emersion… After finishing a summer internship at a Chicago law firm this week, I finally have time to once again totally and completely throw myself in to my pro football obsession, to the delight (sarcastic) of my girlfriend friends and family. I have my weekend included a 24 hour a day every day helping of the NFL Network, repeated watching of the HOF induction speeches, a complete viewing of Redskins Colts, and finally by starting to read an instant favorite book of mine. I started The Best Game Ever by Mark Bowden. It is a detailed account of the 1958 NFL championship game, chuck full of NFL history and really interesting stuff. I would recommend it to every football fan. Granted I haven’t finished it yet, but I am finding it very difficult to put down. Get it get it get it. I’ll be back with some Rams based thoughts and a preview of the pre-season opener on Saturday.

The Loe Down on a Few Things Football
Antwaan Randle El plays Thalia, the muse of comedy, to Santana Man’s Melpomene, the muse of tragedy, after practice today at Redskins Park (click to see desktop sized image): Thanks to Brian from AA for the head’s up on this beauty. We also have a bonus photo for you after the jump of the Zorn Star’s
Darnerien McCants is back in the NFL, and not too far from where he began his NFL journey. Drafted by the Washington Redskins in the 2001 NFL Draft, the Delaware State University product proved himself to be a valuable red zone receiver, leading the team in touchdown receptions in 2003. But between disputes with coaches, and a flirtation with being an R&B singer, he bounced from Washington, to the Philadelphia Eagles, to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, was drafted All-American Football League’s Tennessee franchise, and briefly signed with with the New Orleans Voodoo of the Arena Football League. And now he’s with the Ravens. McCants and Ravens’ head coach John Harbaugh go back to their time together in Philadelphia, and Harbaugh is confident in McCants’ ability to make the team. But there’s something puzzling about McCants’ track record in football; despite his physical talents, no one wants him around. “The odds are against me and it’ll be a struggle, but my whole life in football has been like that,” McCants said. “In college, I played four years and had three different head coaches, and all of them tried to get rid of me. In Washington, I played there for four years and had three different head coaches, and all of them tried to get rid of me. It’s not a bad thing to act like a R&B male diva when you sing for a living. But being a male diva in the NFL and your name is NOT Brett Favre? Not a good look.

Return of the R&B Receiver
Last night kicked-off the official start of pre-season with the Hall of Fame Game, where the Washington Redskins held off the Indianapolis Colts 30-16. And there are only 4 more days until the Browns take on the New York Jets, in our pre-season opener, at Cleveland Browns Stadium. For a reminder here’s how the Browns’ pre-season schedule breaks down this year: Aug 07 - New York Jets (7:30 pm - NBC) Aug 18 - @ New York Giants (8:00 pm - ESPN) Aug 23 - @ Detroit Lions (4:00 pm - NBC) Aug 28 - Chicago Bears (7:30 pm - NBC)

Pre-season Is Upon Us
The Colts lost by 14 to the Washington Redskins. If this was October, that would be a major problem. However, in October with 4 All-Pro players missing, this was a great game. The Colts were tied going into the fourth quarter with mostly backups playing the entire game. Some players really stood out. Here are my top 10 players from the game. 10. Roy Hall, WR: Hall was very good last night. He gained a fair amount of yards on the screen pass, and he caught a tough pass after it hit off of his hands. They didn’t test him on deep plays, so we still don’t know how good his receiver skills are. However, as a 4th receiver, he’s more than qualified. 9. Eric Foster, DT: Quinn who? Foster had the Freeney spin and gave the Colts a good pass rush even though it didn’t result in incompletions. The linebackers were pretty weak. Foster is a good pass rushing defensive tackle. This team will get a lot of sacks. 8. Marcus Howard, DE: Sometimes 40 times don’t lie. Marcus Howard is extremely fast. He was blowing by the tackles and getting into the backfield. He was giving Todd Collins hell all night long. The play that stands out the most for me was his sack when he was being held. He is small, but he has good strength. He definitely will get playing time this year. I don’t consider him a project. He’s ready to take the league by storm. 7. Brannon Condren, S: I didn’t know much about him. I knew he was pretty good at special teams, but as a safety, I assumed that he wasn’t a big hitter and more of a ball-hawking safety. I was wrong. He was hitting hard last night. He played like Matt Giordano, which is good for a player that will be a special teamer. 6. Gijon Robinson, TE: Robinson’s first catch made my jaw drop. Sorgi was looking to sacrifice him by throwing the ball over his head, but Robinson made the leap and held onto the ball even though a safety clocked him. He had 3 other catches that resulted in a fair amount of yards. I see him making the roster as well. 5. Pierre Garcon, WR: Garcon was the most impressive receiver to me. Whenever a pass was off target, he was able to adjust and get a hand on it. He was running his routes perfectly. He impressed me on special teams as well. On his only kick return, he got it to midfield, and if he would have tried to get pass the kicker, he could have scored. 4. Jamey Richard, C: Sure, he had that bad snap, but he had the bad luck of the Colts being inside their own 10 when he made that snap. If that was at midfield, Gray would have picked it up and threw it away. After that, Richard became unstoppable. He was pancaking defensive tackle, lead blocking for Mike Hart, and giving The Hefty Lefty time to make a crappy throw. This was a great 7th round pick. 3. Jordan Senn, LB: I haven’t heard people talk about him, but he was great. It seemed like he was involved on every tackle no matter where the ball was. He definitely has the speed that the Tampa-2 requires. Right now, I’d say he is a practice squad player, but that can change very quickly. 2. Quinn Gray, QB: Gray locked up the backup QB spot so far. It would take a collapse of epic proportions to make him lose the job. He can scramble. He’s got a great arm. When he scrambles, he is able to throw an accurate pass, which gave us around 80 yards that we would have lost if Lorenzen or Sorgi was throwing on the run, which would have been an incompletion or thrown away. Gray looked better than a few starting QBs in this league. 1. Mike Hart, RB: There isn’t enough to say about this guy. He proved why 40 times are useless. He looked faster than any other Colts back out there. He fought for the extra yards, which is huge for a back that will be used in short yardage situations. The play where he lost his helmet but still gained another 3 yards showed why he will make this team. He’s like a stronger and faster James Mungro. All of these guys minus Senn will make the roster, and all but Gray will be in the rotation. Here are some players that did not impress. Jared Lorenzen aka The Hefty Lefty and The Pillsbury Throwboy, QB: Not only does he look like a lineman or competitive eater, he throws like one. He was double clutching and shotputting his throws. This guy should stick to the donuts and leave football alone. He is not an NFL QB. Plain and simple. Good thing Eli Manning never got hurt or else the Patriots would have been 19-0. Clifton Dawson, RB: Mike Hart is better in pads, and Dawson is better on the practice field. Dawson went down after the first hit, and he didn’t have a reception. He’s got a Havard degree. He’ll be better off as a lawyer than a backup running back. Freddie Keiaho, Victor Worsley, and Brandon Archer: Worsley and Archer aren’t anything special, but the starting WILL linebacker being so bad in pass coverage is concerning. He needs to improve or else we could see Philip Wheeler or Clint Session playing on the weak side. So with all of this, here is the updated roster. I love making these. QB #18 Peyton Manning: Obviously. #5 Quinn Gray: After this game, I am more confindent in our backup QB than ever. RB #29 Joseph Addai: Obvious again. #38 Dominic Rhodes: He had some great runs last night. #32 Mike Hart: Even though he is a Michigan grad, I can’t get enough of this guy. WR #87 Reggie Wayne: Shocker, I know #88 Marvin Harrison: Duh #11 Anthony Gonzalez: Not a lot of second year former first round picks get cut #83 Roy Hall: Amazing potential #85 Pierre Garcon: Division III needs some love too. #80 Devin Aromashodu: He played pretty well last night. TE #44 Dallas Clark: A few years ago, Austin Croshere wore number 44 for the Pacers. Indianapolis had two white guys named after cities in Texas wearing number 44. #47 Gijon Robinson: The stumpy H-back was impressive last night. #84 Jacob Tamme: Tamme is bigger than I thought he was. I want to see him get some throws from Gray and Sorgi, not BBQ (Bad & Bulky Quarterback, not Big & Beautiful). #86 Tom Santi: Santi should make the roster even though he is hurt. LT #67 Tony Ugoh: Underrated tackle. #76 Dan Federkiel: The only Canuck on the team on this roster prediction. LG #65 Ryan Lilja: Underrated guard. #53 Steve Justice: I didn’t notice him last night. C #63 Jeff Saturday: The Indy Star did a piece on future Colts Hall of Famers, and Saturday wasn’t mentioned even though players like Bob Sanders and Dwight Freeney were. Saturday has been just as dominant as any current modern-era centers. #61 Jamey Richard: Richard was great last night. He’s very, very fast, and the bad snap was a major fluke. RG #78 Mike Pollak: Pollak played well last night. #74 Charlie Johnson: A “Meh”-worthy performance last night. Didn’t see anything great out of him. RT #71 Ryan Diem: Often goes unnoticed, but I notice when he isn’t playing. #75 Michael Toudouze: We’ve got some depth at offensive line. Toudouze is good for a backup right tackle. LE #79 Raheem Brock: He had some good pass rushing last night. He will play UT on passing situations. #98 Robert Mathis: I prefer him as a pass rush specialist. His best seasons were behind Brock. #60 Curtis Johnson: Johnson surprised me last night with some good run defense. RE #93 Dwight Freeney: If you don’t double team him, he will get a sack. It’s as simple as that. #92 Marcus Howard: I shall call him “Mini-Freeney”. #90 Jeff Charleston: Josh Thomas is still as slow as hell. NT #99 Ed Johnson: Big Eddy didn’t see too many snaps last night, but he is the best run-stopping player on this team. #95 Darrell Reid: Special teamer who may see some time at defensive tackle this season. UT #96 Keyunta Dawson: The last couple of drafts have been absolutely amazing. In Polian We Trust. #68 Eric Foster: He’s been the MVP of training camp so far. Let’s see if he can carry that momentum into September. SLB #55 Clint Session: I don’t like him being hurt. Being a Colts linebacker, you will probably get hurt and not get resigned. #56 Tyjuan Hagler: Hagler’s injury may have cost him a starting job. MLB #58 Gary Brackett: He’ll make the Pro Bowl this year. The snub will motivate him. #50 Philip Wheeler: Knees are slightly behind the Patriots as the Colts biggest enemy. WLB #54 Freddie Keiaho: He better improve at pass coverage. #52 Ramon Guzman: Special teamer. CB #28 Marlin Jackson: He can hit and cover well. Speed isn’t a big factor in the Tampa-2. #26 Kelvin Hayden: See Marlin Jackson. #20 Dante Hughes: He dropped because of his 40 time. 40 times are so frickin’ overrated! #23 Tim Jennings: Jennings has done well enough in training camp to keep this job. #34 TJ Rushing: Garcon and him will make a great returning duo. FS #41 Antoine Bethea: He could make the Pro Bowl the old fashion way (not by being an alternate) this year. #42 Brannon Condren: He won me over. SS #21 Bob Sanders: Bob Sanders likes his New England Patriots the same way he likes his ice. Crushed. #43 Matt Giordano: He hits so hard his hair fell out. Or at least that’s what John Madden says. K #4 Adam Vinatieri: One for the thumb. P #17 Hunter Smith: Being the Colts punter is the easiest job you can have. LS #48 Justin Snow: Long snapper needs to become an official position. Reserve PUP/IR: #25 Michael Coe: Another knee injury… Practice Squad RB Chad Simpson WR Sam Giguere WR Onrea Jones OL Darren Marquez DL Collin Ferrell LB Jordan Senn LB Kyle Shotwell DB Jamie Silva 10 to Keep In Touch With QB Jim Sorgi RB Kenton Keith WR Courtney Roby OL Corey Hilliard DL Josh Thomas DL Joe Bradley LB Brandon Archer LB Victor Worsley DB Melvin Bullitt DB Keiwan Ratliff

Hall of Fame Game Recap
Dallas Cowboys- 11-5 Stacked squad coming off a great 2007-2008 campaign. Look for this squad to blow at least 2 winable games in the regular season and lose in the playoffs due to a Tony Romo Slipup Buffalo Bills- 5-11 Just when things look like they can’t get worse for this listless franchise, rumors emerge that have them moving to Canada in the next few years. Nothing spells football disaster quite like C-A-N-A-D-I-A. New York Giants- 7-9 If it wasn’t for Trent Dilfer, Eli Manning would easily be the worst QB ever to win a superbowl. This team got hot at exactly the right time last year but look for them to have a mighty hangover this year with the loss of Strahan and the realization that they don’t have a quality running back on their roster. Miami Dolphins - 4-12Let me get this strait, the worst team in the league dealt the best player on its roster for draft picks and now they want to rely on serial bong-hitter Sticky Icky Ricky to get their ground game back? Riiiiight. Philadelphia Eagles- 6-10 Although this team has a solid defense and an incredible running back in Brian Westbrook, I can’t picture Donovan McNabb lasting an entire season. Look for Kevin Kolb to be the starter by Week 14. Then look for Kevin Kolb seeking employment by 2011. New England Patriots- 18-1 Sike. 13-3 Even without the story book ending last season re-wrote the history books. The pats remain the best team in the NFL on paper. Washington Redskins- 10-6 There are a lot of questions on this team. Will Jason Campbell become a true Franchise QB? Will their lack of depth hurt them again? Can their aging offensive line stay healthy? Will Colt Brennan do something kerr-azy with his hair? Best Case scenario: Super Bowl Champions Worst Case scenario: Last years Dolphins New York Jets - 9-7 Good Coach. Good Receivers. Solid Defense. If this club could get a decent QB behind center [AHEM]they could sneak into the playoffs. However, don’t expect them to one up their components in the Meadowlands. The AFC is simply too tough. Arizona Cardinals- 8-8 Leinart looks significantly more comfortable in hot tubs or holding beer bongs than he does in the NFL. This could be the last year before the Cards’ have to start searching for another franchise QB. Denver Broncos - 8-8 Once again Shanahan has a stable of undersized running backs that will probably rush for over 1400 yards (combined) this year. If Cutler can make the leap this squad could be dangerous. San Francisco 49ers - 7-9 It pains me to say this but Vernon Davis is poised for another terrible year. The new offense will not suit this man-beast and the ‘niners may have to go back to the drawing board if Alex Smith doesn’t step up his game. Kansas City Chiefs - 8-8 How far can Larry Johnson take this team? I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tony Gonzalez or LJ traded this year. Seattle Seahawks- 11-5 Not a flashy squad but they get the job done. They need an answer at running back but everywhere else this team is very solid. Oakland Raiders - 6-10 Former Raider Stuart Schweigart recently mentioned on a talk show that Al Davis has been coaching the team by proxy. Not good. This team may have a juggernaut offense in 2010 if Jamarcus and Darren McFadden get on the same page. The Raiders will miss the playoffs but most likely will show some signs of life. St. Louis Rams- 8-8 Injuries killed this squad last year. However, look for the Rams offense to return to form now that Al Saunders is back in town. San Diego Chargers 14-2 L.T., Merriman. Thats all you need to know. In spite of Norv Turner’s presence this team could represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Chicago Bears- 6-10 It’s hard to believe that just three years ago this team was playing in the super bowl. I think that Devin Hester could become a great receiver this year but don’t look for this team to make much noise with either Grossman or Orton at QB. Chicago: Bottoms up! Baltimore Ravens- 7-9 Solid squad. No QB. You know its bad when a team pines for Dilfer… Detroit Lions- 10-6 Just good enough to break your heart Detroit. Seeing Kitna lose in the first round of the playoffs won’t lift anyone’s spirits in a town with enough problems as it is . Cincinnati Bengals- 10-6 Could win a lot of games if Marvin Lewis remembers how to coach defense again. Green Bay Packers - 9-7 If you think Aaron Rodgers will play like he did in that Cowboys game all year I have some sub-prime backed bonds to sell you. Cleveland Browns- 7-9 Welcome back to Earth Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lewis. Minnesota Vikings - With Favre 8-8; Without Favre 8-8 Great Defense. Purple Jesus. But still this team just doesn’t have it. Pittsburgh Steelers- 10-6 Ben gets his groove back. Atlanta Falcons - 5-11 Matty Ice is not ready yet (ever). Houston Texans - 9-7 If Someone can score a few TD’s this team’s Defense could carry them. That Mario Williams over Reggie Kardashian trade looks smarter every year. Carolina Panthers- 9-7 This division is wide open. If this team can get hot they could easily make the playoffs. Quick Panthers question: What nick name do you think Chris Berman will use for the panther’s first round pick Jon Stewart? I CAN’T THINK OF ANY POP CULTURE REFERENCE HERE!!!!! “The shark of snark, the saphire of satire…” (I wish I was kidding) Indianapolis Colts - 13-3 One of 2008’s biggest underperformers. If Peyton can Sac up (get it?) this team should rebound. New Orleans Saints - 9-7 How long does the karma of a natural disaster last? This team has done something with nothing for the past few years. Look for Reggie Kardashian to see more time in the slot. If Sean Payton can get this team back on track they could steal the wide open NFC South. (Insert Joke about wide open Kim Kardashian here) Jacksonville Jaguars 6-10 Ha Ha. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-9 I’ll give them one win per QB on the roster. Tennessee Titans 6-10 Time to convert Vince Young to WR. Super Bowl Prediction: Redskins 24, Colts 17
