The NFL Has Returned

Leave the titty, take your ass to the field!

And not a moment too soon. For some reason, the offseason felt a lot longer and more painful this year. Then again, thanks to Tank Johnson, Brady Quinn, Brian Urlacher's lucky bastard hand, Pacman Jones, Joey Porter, and of course Michael Vick - the NFL was never NOT in the news. It will be nice to hear about a player actually playing football - instead of being an idiot, or killing himself, or whatever.

As for predictions I like everyone else expect a lot of good things from the Saints. I am especially excited about the pairing of Tom Brady and Randy Moss. Moss never, ever lived up to his potential, but the Patriots under Belichick's leadership won't let Randy slack off like he did in Minnesota and Oakland. I love my Chiefs, but I am not holding my breath. Besides, the Chiefs are the most fun to watch around Week 13 - by this point they have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and somehow they summon up enough energy to make sure their late season opponents can join them on the couch. I think the Falcons will do ok... you can't honestly expect a team who lost three quarterbacks in one offseason to do especially well.

And given I spend way too much time on this site, I can't help but give a shout out to Kissing Suzy Kolber. This site is one of the best sportsblogs in the Universe, and today's "NFL Kickoff Bukkake" has been nothing short of amazing. It's days like this I am happy I have graduated from the cubicle farm... closing my door so no one sees me laughing my ass off is a grand priviledge.
