Don't you hate when you get into arguments about football and no matter what you say the other person is just ignorant?Well me and my friend were playing Madden 07 and he was the Bucs (his favorite team) and i was the Rams(my favorite team). In the 3rd quarter he broke out a 60 yard td run(it was inevitable i was the Rams) and starts saying Carnell Williams is way better than Steven Jackson. So i say "Are you kidding me?! Steven Jackson was one of the top 5 backs last season and had way more yards and touchdowns than Cadillac". So then he goes on to say how Cadillac was rookie of the year and why wasn't Steven Jackson rookie of the year? then i tell him it's because we had marshall faulk starting. Throughout the whole day he was talking about how the bucs are gonna make it to the superbowl because of Gaines Adams. Anyone else have an argument about football and no matter what you say or stats you show them they still insist they're right?

My friends tried to tell me that Jamal Lewis was going to make Cleveland a playoff team.

I also have a bet with a friend of mine. He claimed that the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns would both be playoff teams this season. I think the Jets will be a playoff team.

Assuming that the Patriots muscle through the AFC East this season again, I just don't think that the Jets can stay ahead of the other potential wild card teams. If you assume that Indy, San Diego, and Baltimore are all playoff teams again next year; that leaves two spots left in the playoffs. I just don't think the Bengals, Steelers, and Broncos are going to struggle as much this year as they did last year. Tennessee was also right on the verge of being a playoff team (though I don't expect them to be) and Jacksonville also has a chance to be pretty good. The Jets had a cakewalk schedule last season and they were beaten badly against most of the top-tier teams. They were the most undeserving playoff team in 2006. They're going to have to play a bunch of those "fringe playoff teams" this year and if they make it, they'll actually deserve it this year and they may actually have a chance of being competitive when they get there.

I've gotten in to some pretty IQ lowering debates over Jake Plummer....

It's been a laughing stock with him. He's an incredible athlete, who can occassionally make plays that noone else can, almost always with his legs. But, the guy can't throw with accuracy, and he is terrible reading coverage. He hurts us just as much as he helps us, in my opinion. While I am not looking forward to having Harrington as a QB by any means, if it means getting Vick closer to the door, I am all for it. With or without Vick, we are going to be terrible this year. Vick is a living sterotype of what people have tried to say the black quarterback is for years. Not intelligent, but athletic. The one black qb who actually fits that stereotype, has to end up in Atlanta. Yes, he sells tickets, but I went before Vick, and I will go after. I am a fan of my team, not just the individuals as so many here in Atlanta are. If you want to read some incredibly idiotic stuff, go to the Falcons official message boards.

At least the Falcons' running game is good with Vick. Without him, I doubt they crack the top-10, let alone #1.

Daunte Culpepper hurt his hand Wednesday night in a two-vehicle crash. Culpepper collided with another car before both vehicles rolled off the roadway. There are few other details available currently. The NFLPA filed a grievance on Culpepper's behalf Wednesday, saying the Dolphins are denying him the opportunity to compete for a job.

They're going to have to play a bunch of those "fringe playoff teams" this year and if they make it, they'll actually deserve it this year and they may actually have a chance of being competitive when they get there. I cant really disagree with you....the Jets did have a cupcake schedule. But they also improved and they were under their first year with Mangini, learning both a new offense and a new defense. Pennington stayed healthy for the first time, undera revamped Jets offensive line. They have some good pieces that are developing like Justin Miller and they addressed their biggest issue in getting a premiere running back to go with their pretty good offensive line. A line that last year was young and this year grabs another year under their belts. I think the Jets will have matured over this offseason. New England will definitely be the juggernaut. How cant they be? So the AFC East is their's. San Diego has gone through some coaching changes. And with Denver making some huge offseason moves.......I dont think they finish up as the top seed in the AFC this season and might only barely squeeze out the division title. It'll be close. But I dont see them being the same team as last year and they might have even struggle a bit. Denver has gotten better, but at QB I think they have a big question mark. I dont believe Cutler is ready to lead this team. The Broncos would have made the playoffs last year if they had stuck with Plummer. They didnt and it cost them. Shannahan sees Cutler as the future and the future is now. I just dont think the future is too bright at this point. Court is out. We'll have to see how he does this year. Steelers wont be as bad as last year....but they are in trouble. They lost Porter and Tomlin is trying to change the defensive scheme. The locker room is divided and defensive players dont like it. I see issues in Pittsburgh as well. Cincinatti......well, we'll have to see how many players gets arrested during the offseason. I think Jacksonville is gonna contend more for a wild card than Pittsburgh or Cin. Though that division could be pretty wide open, depending on McNair. If he is healty....baltimore runs away with it. If not.......it could be some trading of victories, which will only help the Jets chances. I think the Jets will surprise you. I'm looking forward to the season.

Well, I'm about to head off to go on a lake cruise on Lake Minnetonka with my work... We'll be hopping on a boat from Al & Alma's - the same place that rented the boat for the imfamous "Vikings Sex Boat party." I wanted to wear my Fred Smoot jersey, but I was told that they would not appreciate it.
