Feel free to add to my list:

1. Adrian Peterson is A BEAST (In a good way)

2. I hate Brett Favre even more each day

3. As an Eagle hater, I may have a good season :)

4. As a Jet fan I may also have a good season

5. I hate all the ex-football commentators that just say the cliche phrases and agree with all the "experts". Have a mind of your own!

    If it wasn't for Drew Brees, I would have really got my @ss handed to me in my fantasy league. He scored over half of my teams points.

    The five things I learned:
    1. Every game is Mardi Gras for Drew Brees

    2. Miracles do happen (See Denver-Cincinnati)

    3. Shanahan should never have banished Mike Bell, the kid is a stud runner.

    4. Any defense under Don Capers is going to be a beast to play against.

    5. NFL and Comcast need to make a deal for televising the NFL Network as a part of the standard package.

    Mark...

    I agree whole heartedly that the NFL and Comcast need to get the games on NFL network televised. It never bothered me, until I didn't have it anymore :)

    The Falcons' defense (which was supposed to be their Achille's heel) looks REALLY good.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I learned that the free DirectTV NFL Sunday Ticket preview was awesome yesterday, but...it really halts any kind of productivity because I just wanted to sit there and watch every game possible. AP is definitely a beast as well. Lastly, I'm in for one more year of suffering because I chose to be a Bengals fan at a young age and haven't let go of it yet. :(

    Here are my thoughts:
    - The Cowboys looked pretty good, and their passing offense looked more balanced and just as explosive without TO.
    - The Lions are AWFUL! Stats against them shouldn't count (Brees could have had 7-8 TDs).
    - The Rams are worse than the Lions. At least the Lions can move the ball and score. What happened to Bulger and the greatest show on turf? A case of really bad O-line killing the whole offense? On a side note, Steven Jackson sucks.
    - The Dolphins, Panthers, Cardinals used up all their 2009 wins last year. None going to be any good.
    - The Ravens defense is no longer very good. 24 points to KC (even if 7 were scored on defense, that's still bad). Brodie Croyle shouldn't be able to move the ball on you.
    - Delhomme was/is terrible. I think he's a certifiable headcase after the playoff debacle. Steve Smith should break his jaw in a fit of anger (like he did to a Carolina DB last preseason).

    I learned that...
    -The Vikings may be for real this year, if they can keep from having to many **** first halfs, and Adrian Peterson can stay healthy.
    -The Lions will be the first team in league history to go two seasons without a victory.
    -not having DirectTV sucks!

    Remember...the Vikings were playing the Browns. They should be good though for the reasons you stated.
    -The Lions will steal at least 1 or 2 wins this year.
    -Having DirectTv is awesome:D
