Talking NFL

And now I’ve got it! Woohoo! My very own NFL Blog! I feel like Ron Burgendy after the San Diego news ratings came out; “That’s fantastic! Super-duper!” I’m already looking forward to my first, “Hey, Brian, YOU SUCK!” email…can’t wait!

But first thing’s first; a hearty thanks to the good people of 451press.com for giving me this forum. More importantly, thanks for obviously not doing a proper background check on me! (Quick note if you run one now; I was not “stalking” Uma Thurman. I was just complimenting her on her work in an enthusiastic manner. Repeatedly. With no clothes on. OK, moving on….)

So right now you’re probably asking yourself (besides the question, “is this guy stable?”), what exactly will I be covering in the wide, wide world of the “National – Football – League”? Well, here’s a sampling:

- Hot teams
- Mediocre teams
- Really bad teams
- Players
- Cheerleaders
- Coaches
- GM’s
- Owners
- Controversies
- Rumors
- The playoff picture
- The Superbowl
- (…did I mention Cheerleaders all ready?)
- Free agency
- The draft
- League history
- The media
- Game day observations
- Tailgating

All that, and, uh….beer. Though not necessarily in that order.
As for what I WON’T be covering:

- Weekly gambling picks

I have never bet on an NFL game in my life, and I’m not looking to start now. Not sure why; perhaps because whenever I go to Vegas, there seems to be 5 more multi-million dollar hotels being built & I have a hunch I know where they’re getting the money. Trust me, don’t wager on pro football. You’re much better off investing your money in solid companies like Enron and Tyco.

- Fantasy Football

At least not right away. Don’t get me wrong, I am a HUGE fan. I founded a league eight years ago, and my friends and I have been verbally abusing each other ever since. However, I am getting ready for the FFL championship game right now, and can’t give my opponent any ideas. Sorry. However, I’ll certainly make some pertinent FFL references, and maybe I’ll change my mind before next year’s season. (Especially if I win my THIRD title & get bored beating up on the peons in my league…)

- Power Polls

Some of them are entertaining, but overall, I think these things are awful. How about instead of ranking San Diego #1 and Tampa Bay #32, I’ll just say, “San Diego is really, really good, and man, does Tampa Bay suck”? Yeah, I like that much better.

See, this way I’m not wasting your time if you’re really interested in any of these aforementioned topics. You can move on now with no hard feelings. Am I a nice guy or what?

Lastly, and most importantly, I’ll be looking for plenty of feedback and commentary from YOU, Mr or Mrs NFL fan from Anytown, USA (or beyond). So please, email me, comment on my postings, call me inappropriate names, and let’s have some fun! The NFL…it’s Faaaantastic! (Whoops, wrong slogan. Don’t worry; I’ll get the hang of this eventually!)
