Let's talk Football...
I just got the NFL preseason game schedule and all I can say is wow. For the most part, this is a waste of time. There are a couple of exceptions worth noting however...
The NFL preseason will open with the Oakland Raiders playing the Philadelphia Eagles in the Hall of Fame game Aug. 6 in Canton, Ohio. Unless the Raiders and the Eagles show a LOT of improvement, this game will be a waste of time. The only reason to watch this game is because it's the first taste of football that anyone's had in a couple of months.
Other prime-time national telecasts will be:
Indianapolis-St. Louis on Aug. 10 This game is a blow out and only worth watching for the morbid fascination that get's satified while one team completely destroy and dominate another. It's like watching a mean 15 year old beat up on his seven year old brother. Colts use the Rams to break down the door leading to R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
New England at Atlanta on Aug. 11 Another blow out. I guess that they're keeping the exciting games for later. Patriots win. Even though they only use their second string players.
Washington at Cincinnati on Aug. 13 This may be a decent game of the Redskins step up. I doubt it though.
Oakland at Minnesota on Aug. 14 in ESPN's debut as the Monday night outlet for games. Another look at MEDIOCRACY.
Kansas City at the New York Giants on Aug. 17 Finally, a game worth watching. Both teams have gone through a LOT of changes and it'll be interesting to see what they can do.
San Diego at Chicago on Aug. 18 Eh. That's about as much excitement that I cn muster up. Sorry.
Arizona at New England on Aug. 19 Another spanking in the making. It's hard to believe that Arizona is still a team. I know that they win games on occasion. I guess that even a sorry team can roll the dice and get lucky. I put the Cards with the Saints as some of the worst teams in the NFL.
Seattle at Indianapolis on Aug. 20 This'll be a great game even though it's only a preseason one.
Dallas vs. New Orleans at Shreveport, La., on Aug. 21 Who cares?
Miami at Carolina on Aug. 24 It'll be interesting in an academic sorta way to see if either has improved at all.
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia on Aug. 25 If the Eagles have stepped up their game, which I doubt, this'll be a good game. Otherwise the Steelers jagernaut will just keep on rolling.
Tampa Bay at Jacksonville on Aug. 26 Again, not much interest. I'll root for the Bucs though.
Houston at Denver on Aug. 27 This is the game that I've been dreaming of. My two favorite teams going heads. And the Texans actually stand a chance of winning, which makes it even better! Denver's Offensive guru-in-residence for the last eleven years, Gary Kubiak, is now the Texans' Head Coach. With the changes that he's made to the team, and the knowledge that he has of the Broncos, I would not be surprised to see the Texans win this one. Go Texans! Yea!!!
and Green Bay at Cincinnati on Aug. 28. Bengals DOMINATE! Nuff said.
