So with Malky, myself and (I suspect) Barber all supporting teams in the same division I suspect there may be a few more NFL supporters out there.

Pre-Season starts this weekend.  Anyone else firing up ?

im a huge tiki barber fan, i think it sux he retired so early - he had at least another 5000 yards in him. im not a ny giants fan tho - my hopes n' dreams rest solely on the steelers, i think with big ben and coach tomlin workin together on this new "no huddle" offense, we'll be more dangerous than ever.

if you want to see some "football" live - come check out my team during the summer. The Wellington Wolves Football Club. Games are on Saturdays at Raroa Parl starting in late September. I play CB or FS in a 3-4 defense.......ive won a championship with the Porirua Giants in 2005 and was the top points scorer in the Auck v Wgtn "Provincial All Star Game" (was a WR back then!)

Bring on the season! GO STEELAHZ!

Not a huge NFL follower, but I guess I have a sort of soft spot for Green Bay, partly becasue they're the only publically owned "company" team left in the NFL. . .

Has Brett Favre got a dispensation to bring his zimmer frame onto the "frozen tundra of Lambeau Field" or has he finally retired.

Ha, Stallworth is a useless punk who thinks he's way better than he actually is. Why do you think we off-loaded him to the Eagles in the first place? And for Marc Simenaou, or whatever his name is, ffs.

Geaux Saints!!!

Only recently started following, don't really have a team. I like the Chargers, Saints, Colts... just a part time viewer though.

Anyone want to set up a fantasy league, I like Yahoo's one.

I used to run the Dixie League on Yahoo Fantasy Football, if there's enough guys interested, I'll look to revive it...

Easy there...do the words pre-season mean anything these days? Drew Brees played only two series, Marques Colston only played first quarter, Reggie Bush also, and Deuce McAllister didn't even play. And that's just out of the big name players, and I guess it was the same fr the Steelers. We basically used the game to give a lot of marginal and unsigned players an opportunity to see what they have. The Saints are still among the best in the NFC, and a meaningless pre-season loss doesn't change that.

We'll do the draft as soon as everyone who's keen has joined in. I've basically created the league for yellow fever guys who also follow the NFL, so everyone on this forum is welcome to join. There is a maximum of 20 teams in the league, so there's 19 spots yet to go, with the mighty Teddybears already in. The draft type can be agreed on by consensus (currently it's off-line, but I can change that at any time before the draft).

The league's ID number on Yahoo Fantasy Football is 347668, and the password is phoenix.

Bring back Barry Sanders.


Choker.

Hmmm, will I beat Walter Paytons record and become the best ever rusher in NFL history and do it on a very average team making the achievement even more remarkable? No, I'll just inexplicably quit without any good reason and completely disappear into obscurity.

No, Emmitts the man (and a pretty good dancer too - must be those quick feet).

anyone see Culpepper in the Raiders loss to the Niners? 2 TDs, fumbled 2 snaps but recovered both. Not a bad effort. Watch out Reggie Biush in the "All Purpose Yards" Category.....mack daddy.

Some predictions for y'all

Colts will NOT make the Superbowl
Bengals will NOT make the Playoffs
LaDanian Tomlinson to lead the league in Rushing Yards
Matt Leinart to lead the league in Passing Yards

done

its not really that huge a call if u think about it.....he has Boldin and Fitzgerald as his WRs. Boldin in the best #2 WR in the league and would be #1 at ANY other team. With Edgerrin James in the backfield, you have one of the most capable pass catching RBs ever.

Look for formations not disimilar to this


WR1            X  X  X  X  X           WR3       
                                     TE                         WR 2
                    RB   QB

TE in as a pass protector
RB initial pass protection before gettin in the flat
WR1 attacking deep
WR3 hittin under the LBs
WR2 Hittin the middle of the field deep

This will show up Leinarts class.

Well, I don't want to turn this into a big thing, but since I'd rather be doing this than work, here goes...

While I agree that the Cards have a very good receiving corps, they've had it for a couple of years now and Kurt Warner was also supposed to have a great time with them, and we both know how that ended up. Admittedly, Leinart's much younger and more athletic but still pretty inexperienced as a starting QB in the NFL.
The Edge, a great player in his prime, is I think past his best.
I don't really follow the Cards, but from the bits and pieces that I saw, their O-line was dreadful over the last 2-3 years. Don't know if they've upgraded in that area in the off-season - if they have, Leinart may do well since he's obviously talented, but I still don't think he'll end up passing for most yards in the whole NFL. My pick is that that record will go to one of this group: Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, Marc Bulger and Tony Romo (don't really rate him, but anyone throwing to a healthy TO has a chance). If pressed to pick one of those, I'll go with Bulger. He also has a very good receiving corps, an excellent receiving RB in Steven Jackson, and a decent O-line. The Rams also have a rubbish defence, meaning they'll probably be playing from behind quite often, so Bulger may end up throwing a lot...My ten cents' worth anyway...

Happy to have a bet about this, as long as the stakes are of alcoholic nature
