It's Thursday..You know what that means!!!

It means just 3 more days til SUNDAY! Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! The day that we get to see the sport of football at it's finest...and we really get to see which teams start separating from the pack each week!

Now a lot has changed since my last post on here. The last time I posted on here I was the pre season and I was talking about who was good and who wasn't. Well, there are a few surprises in the NFL this year so far, I tell you that. My Detroit Lions are 2-0, just like I said they would be. The Packers are 2-0 too, the vikings are 0-2 just like I said all of them would be too! The shockers though, are the Kansas City Chiefs getting blown out by the Bills and the Lions in horrendous fashion in weeks 1 &2.

I predicted the Bills to be better than everyone thought, but so far they are surpassing that and taking it to another level. Speaking of another level, that's where Cam Newton has been playing as well. Imagine that, so far Cam Newton is beating out Sam Bradford's second year in his rookie year, but he makes how much less? around 40 million less? Cam Newton took quite a low deal compared to former #1 picks of Matthew Stafford and Sam Bradford...and so far his rookie year has been better than both of theirs were...and I would still take him over Bradford, but not Stafford because he is KILLING the other teams. It is great to see him not injured for once.

While I'm talking about Bradford, his team (The Rams) are in the NFC West is being led by...the 49ERS!? The funny thing about that is last year I predicted the 49ers would be good. Then they made me look like an idiot and I bailed on them this year. At this point in time it looks like I was off a year haha. Alex Smith....is actually playing pretty good ball at quarterback. You know who isn't? Kerry Collins, the new(and old at the same time) QB for the Colts...and boy do the Colts suck without Peyton Manning. To give you an idea of how bad they are, they lost to the Browns. The Browns lost the week before...to the BENGALS!

In that same weekthey had the Steelers getting absolutely destroyed by the Ravens, then the next week the Steelers blew out the Seahawks while the Ravens got wrecked by the Titans...who just lost to Jacksonville. Probably because of their rushing yards being horrible that game. Which was crazy because Chris Johnson just spent a whole crap load of time off holding out saying he deserves more millions on his contract. Then they hand him mega millions lottery money and he rushes for only 24 yards.

So now all of the divisions are showing a little bit of light. The AFC North is all tied up at 1-1, the Miami Dolphins are in serious trouble being 0-2 in the NFC East as the Jets, Patriots, and the Bills are all now 2-0..and being down two games to your entire division is going to be hard to get out of. The NFC South all lost their first games to NFC North teams in week 1 except the Panthers (who still lost), which is funny because a couple days prior I read an article on NFL.com by an "expert" who said the NFC South was the best division in football. Then he went ahead to say the NFC EAST was better than the NFC North too. Which reminds me of another surprise, the Washington Redskins are the only undefeated team in that division. They actually beat the giants to get there, cause somehow Rex Grossman turned into the best QB ever. Brett Favre must have gave him some left over "good QB" juice because he figured he needed it more or something.

However there are no surprises in the Patriots and Jets going 2-0, the NFC South being neck and neck with each other, The Houston Texans taking a lead in the AFC South, and the entire NFC West only having two wins combined out of the possible eight.

I can't wait for Sunday because it's another day when you finally get to see more of who will be good and who will be horrible. I am interested in Detroit's game against Minnesota since Detroit's my team and Minnesota is a division rival. Can Minnesota pull an upset and even things out? Or will the Detroit Lions move to 3-0 and take the division lead? Also what's interesting is the game between the Patriots and the Bills. Two undefeated division rivals. One team is going home undefeated still with a game ahead, the other will finally have a loss; A very important win for both teams, but if the Bills can pull this  off it would mean something remarkable.


That's all I have to say about football on this Thursday afternoon (except maybe that Seattle should start Whitehurst).Thanks a lot for reading. Hope it was as swell for you as it was for me.

Peacez,

The Season is Coming FAST!!

Hello again, everybody! I have not posted about football lately because I have been extremely busy working on my newest CD that I plan to release next month titled "Taking Over YOUR World". I did everything within a month, got the art work done, the songs recorded, and  got permission to use any samples we used. But now that I am almost completely done with all of that, I can start talking about football again!

So far, the pre-season in the NFL is a shocking one. Showing upsets galore and exposing weaknesses and strengths in the teams. As a lions fan, I know that winning in the pre season doesn't mean your team is going to be good, but it really does expose a lot of things.

For example, I know that the Chicago Bears are going to have a HORRIBLE offensive line this year, because they allowed NINE sacks in one game against the Buffalo Bills. I also know that the Patriots are going to be very good, because they are the only team that seems to easily run through their opponents each week (which reminds me, The Patriots are playing the Lions in a couple of days. I want to see how this turns out). Everyone can also see the progress of the new fan favorite rookie stars (Cam Newton watch, anyone?)

Although, I actually watch pre-season football, a lot of fans would rather do without. They want the season and they they want it as soon as possible; because those are the only games that "matter". Well,  good news for all of you out there who believe that! After this week, there is just one more week to go before the official NFL Season begins! That's right, Weekly Sundays, Mondays, and sometimes Thursdays of football at its highest level. Each game won or lost determines the outcome of your team. How well do you think your team will do?

I believe my team is going to be great. I would like to say that I predict my team to win the super bowl. If I could, I would say that my team would go 230-0 for the next ten years and be ten time super bowl champs. I know that the probability of that is low, so I will tell the truth, I think Detroit will make playoffs. How far they will go? Who knows? But Detroit is definitely going to be a good team this year.

A few weeks into the pre-season, I really haven't seen too many changes in my old predictions. Except maybe the Eagles aren't as good as I thought they were? We are still yet to find out.

Thanks for reading,

Football is Coming!

I do not know why, but every year around this time, my mind is taken over by football. The offseason in the NFL consists of moves being made by every team to better themselves. Free agent signings, trades, The NFL Draft. They all add new and exciting new players to your home teams and you get an idea of which teams will be good and which ones will be horrible.

In a league such as the NFL where every player was one of the best players in college and high school, you can never tell for sure who is going to be good, but you can have a really good idea (especially when pre-season starts). You watch the pre-season and you can tell which teams are going to be good, not because of their record in the pre season, but by watching how well they play together. My favorite team is the Detroit Lions and they start the pre season on the twelfth of August against the Cincinnati Bengals. On that day, I will have no other plans.

I read a lot between the lines for a lot of things and I make predictions before the pre season starts, but they will change after the next few weeks. Here are some of my off season predictions.

Who will win the divisions?


NFC:
North: Detroit Lions. The Packers have won the Super Bowl last year, but they are not going to repeat. Last year the Lions beat out the packers once and lost to them by three points another time. The Lions had a few close losses last year and beat some good teams and they have only gotten better in the off season. Not to mention, looking at their schedule this year, there aren't many teams that look worthy of beating them.

South: Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons are just a really good team. They will build off of what they had last year and take down every other team in their division. It is a tough division, but the Falcons are the team to beat.

West: Seattle Seahawks. They won the division last year and with the addition of Sidney Rice and a few other players, they will be even better. A lot of people are saying they will be worse without Matt Hasselbeck, but Hasselbeck really didn't have too good of a year last year.

East: Philadelphia Eagles. This is another tough division. If I didn't pick the Eagles I would have to go with the Giants, but the moves that the Eagles made to improve their already good team this off season are still lingering in my head. Then again, I haven't seen these teams play yet.


AFC:

North:Pittsburgh Steelers. I hate to pick an obvious team like the Steelers, but their division is weak outside of the Ravens. Every player and coach just seems to be better put together than the Ravens are and they always seem to beat them.

South:Texans. Surprised?  Everybody picks the Colts every year, but this year I see the Texans taking it. They have an increasingly good team every year and last year they had one of the league's top running backs in Arian Foster. As well as one of the best QB-Receiver tandems in Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson. Their Defense isn't bad either.

West: I'm going to have to go with the Sand Diego Chargers. This is just a process of elimination. The Raiders were okay last year, but they just got worse in the off season. The Kansas City Chiefs were alright, but I feel like they got a little bit lucky last year and their talent isn't really anything to brag about. As for the Broncos, they're still a big media spectacle over whether or not they are going to keep their starting QB.

East:Patriots. The Patriots are consistently good every year and with a few key additions from the off season, they will be good again.


Worst team this year: Cincinnati Bengals. They lost nearly every one of their key players this off season and nobody seems to really want to play there. This is definitely a re-building year for these guys.

Best team: That is really hard to say without seeing the teams actually play, but as a Lions fan, you know I'm a wee bit biased. I'm going to go with the Detroit Lions ;-).

What I'll be watching for: This year could be Matthew Stafford's first 16 game season. I will be watching really closely on how well he does and be nervous about injuries all year long. Stafford is expected to be one of the league's future best players if he stays injury free.

Well, there you have it. This is everything I have to say about football before the pre-season goes underway. I can not wait (obviously). Enjoy watching your favorite teams, whoever they are.
