Buffalo vs Tennessee at 7pm CST tonight, Hall of Fame Game. Even if it is a meaningless game in which the starters will play one series, football is finally here. And yes, I am ready.

Was eating dinner @ Cheesecake Factory last night; glanced up just in time to see Vince Young throw a terrible pick. Same as it ever was...
Bittersweet weekend for me- Aaron Curry signed (woohoo!!!!!), but Mora canceled the evening practice Sunday night. You know, the one I had registered to see in the first 10 minutes signups were live. Email from Seahawks offering spots at 5 weekday practices- 8:30AM or 3:30PM. I camped the site and registered for a weekend spot for a reason, you stupid assholes.

Voodoo got me tickets to CHI-SEA in week 3, where WAP and I will try to behave ourselves.
The tickets say "Game 2". The Seahawks have a bye in week 2? Man. I don't know what that means, other than being 6-7 pt favorites (and have fun in December). Bears will be coming off @ GB, vs PIT, so hopefully I won't be rooting for a 1-2 start.

Game 2 means it is the 2nd home game IIRC. Hopefully Cutler will hit his stride in week 4 after a career-worst performance in week 3  |

Peter King talks to man formerly known as Chad Johnson. I thought the very last line was amusing. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/peter_king/08/23/mmqb/2.htmlFactoid of the Week That May Interest Only Me
I am still shaking my head at the Chad Ochocinco display Thursday night. OK, lots of NFL players can walk off the street and kick an extra point. Big deal. But Ocho's kickoff to start the second half? Pretty impressive. A little background.
Near the end of the second quarter, the man judged the best kicker in the NFL last year, Stephen Gostkowski, the Patriots All-Pro kicker, kicked the ball off from the Patriots' 30 to the Cincinnati 9, a 61-yard boot. To start the third quarter, Ochocinco, a right-footed, soccer-style kicker, rainbowed one 61 yards to the Pats' nine. Same kick. Same weather conditions. Same result. "He's a terrific player,'' Bill Belichick said a day later. "I love his competitiveness. I love his enthusiasm for the game.''
Talked to Ochocinco on Sunday night (how weird it is to write "talked to Ochocinco"?), and he said he played soccer from 4 to 14 growing up in Miami. "Soccer's my first love,'' he said. "I only gave it up my freshman year in high school because it was time to get serious about football as a career.''
"I'm having a lot of trouble calling you, 'Chad Ochocinco,''' I said.
"Just call me 'Ocho,' '' he said. "That's not hard.''
Anyway, regarding his 61-yard kickoff, he said he wasn't surprised. "I've kicked field goals at [Paul Brown Stadium], just fooling around, from 53 yards. Imagine if I devoted practice time to it. There is no doubt in my mind I could kick in this league. Really, I want to kick so bad.''
The dream ended Sunday -- not because the Bengals don't think Johnson could be an adequate emergency kicker, but because they don't want him to risk getting hurt kicking. With incumbent Shayne Graham out for the rest of the preseason, Cincinnati signed free agent Sam Swank from Wake Forest on Sunday.
"Totally unnecessary,'' Ocho said.

Did the guy really change his last name to Eightfive? Really?  |
'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes.

What happens when he gets traded and the new team already has an 85 and he doesn't want to give it up?

Any guy willing to change his name to eight five must also be willing to change it to, say, eight eight. Ochoocho. I like it.

Ok, Buffalo brings the number of teams to fire offensive coordinators a week and a half before the regular season starts to 3. Is this some kind of strange new NFL fad that everyone has to copy, like the Wildcat?

Three makes it a trend! A particularly STUPID one, but a trend nonetheless. |

What it tells me is that the job of offensive coordinator is wasted space at teams where the owner/head coach is a major micromanager.

I would assume they usually end up running practices and working with the other coaches. It must be thankless to work under a coach that calls his own plays, be it offensive or defensive.

Kansas City is the only place where the head coach took over the offensive coordinator job, being the former OC of Arizona. In Tampa and Buffalo their head coaches were former defensive coordinators so they promoted people to be the new OCs rather than trying to do the job themselves.

Set up a Yahoo pick 'em league. Easiest way to do this.

Go Titans! Mostly because I loathe Pittsburgh. Sure would be nice to see the season start off with Pittsburgh getting drubbed, and maybe Big Ben snapping something vital.

I also do my best to loathe Pittsburgh, but I got their defense in my fantasy league. So I'm hoping the Titans win 2 to 0. And that Ben snaps his femur in 217 places. |

The only reason I want Ben around is so that when the Ravens beat Pittsburgh this year, I don't have to listen to their fans whining about how we beat them only because Ben ruptured an ovary or some shit.

Go Browns! Sometimes I hate being originally from there... and living in Pittsburgh currently so you are right to conclude that I did indeed sell my soul to the devil in a past life only to be bent over in this one. |

Try being from Minnesota. The Vikings have a shot at looking good this season. Having watched them play for 40+ years, I know they'll find a way to "Hershel Walker" it all up. |

If there's going to be another Walker incident, please make the trade with the Bears |

Believe me... I was waiting to hear about an Adrian Peterson and 4 first round picks for Cedric Benson a couple of years ago.
