Much has been written and discussed about the woes of the NFL offseason. There has been tragedy and crimes aplenty, so let’s just realize these players are not perfect, they don’t need to be put on a pedastal and idolized. For the ones we lost during the offseason, we mourn; for the ones who committed crimes, they will pay their debt, fines or sit out the suspensions. But now it’s time to put this behind us and get ready to play. Time to check the rosters, see who’s injured, who’s suspended, and who’s left standing to hit the field. Time to review the offseason shuffle of players and remind ourselves of last years stats on our favorite team and players.
With that said, I haven’t picked a favorite team this year yet. I still have my “A” list, the Bears, Bengals, & Packers. But I used to be a huge 49er fan – that was years ago when they were actually winning, but I still have a soft spot for them and hope the do well this season. Since I’ve become a “fantasy player”, I think my loyalty to one team is diminishing. I seem to be more player focused than team focused. The verdict is still out on whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Either way, I can’t wait to get the season started. I think I dislike summer so much because there’s no football. Fall is definately my best season. There’s nothing better than curling up on the couch on a Monday night in front of the fireplace with a bowl of popcorn and candy bar getting ready to watch the game!
It’s time to forget about the offseason! Let’s get ready to play!
Go Titans!
Yes, I’m looking forward to watching the Titans this year. They should be in pretty good shape with the new draft picks. They drafted 10 players, including top pick Michael Griffin. They also picked up three wide receivers for Vince Young, a running back, two offensive linemen, two defensive linemen and a cornerback. So the expectations are definately high for them. Looking forward to that first home game of the season against the Colts!
