NFL 2010

I know it's a cliche, but I can smell football in the air. The only good thing about summer being on the decline is the soothing sight of football and the NFL. College football will start soon too, but we all know the NFL is the king. The former King, LeBron, kept us occupied and entertained through the summer and the NBA in general is getting a lot of attention these days and seems to be on the upswing again, but it still ain't no NFL. ESPN follows the NFL throughout the season and it's fun to finally have some games and training camps to talk about rather than just arm-chair analysis.

Of course there are 2 guys who have no interest in the NFL pre-season or the training camps. It's me and Brett Favre! Just like the last couple of years, the NFL off-season is all about Brett Favre. Recently, some news of his retirement leaked and it was funny how absolutely nobody except the ESPN TV producers bought it. Sure enough, he went from being retired one day to a 7 million dollar pay-hike (13 Mill to 20 Mill) the next. I have no idea how that happened and only Favre can pull something like that off. He is still nowhere to be found and is making an absolute fool of the Vikings and Brad Childress. Childress typically rolls with an air of arrogance and talks like he is curing cancer, but with this Brett Favre issue, he is reduced to being a bumbling fool. Love it!

The other big news of the off-season is Darrelle Revis's contract. This story is derailing the Jets and it would be interesting to see how well that team does in case this guy doesn't sign. I expect Mark Sanchez to get exposed a little bit this year because his numbers last year were no better than Lions QB Matthew Stafford. But Sanchez has a great team around him and people were getting ready to put him in the Hall of Fame already because of all the playoff success for the Jets last year. The other big news is TO joining Ochocinco in Cincinnati. I think TO is washed up, but lets see if he at least opens up some lanes for Ocho. Hope they don't don't start fighting over the girls in Chad's stupid reality show on VH-1. Chad brings in TO as a special guest.

Anyways, I guess the NFL festivities actually officially starts only when Favre shows up in Minnesota.
