I called the Sanchez to cowboys (now they are making a deal of 2 hispanic quaterbacks on the cowboys roster; Romo and Sanchez both have Mexican Grandparents)

Bradford for a 1st rounder....jeez, well should be good for the locals since the draft is in Philly next year....

And anyone see the Buc's kickers lil brother just hit 6 fg's for the Noles this weekend....lol....they drafted the wrong Aguayo!!!! lol

I heard he was having issues in pre-season. I mean seriously a second rounder for a kicker. Janikowski lasted over a decade for the Raiders but I still wouldn't blow a 1st rounder on him.

I am so excited for the titans this year!!! I think we can win the AFC south if mariota can limit his turnovers. Our run game will be lethal

Titans have improved dramatically and will continue to do so.. Only matter of time before that division is ours again and that time is soon.

i think the afc south is the most exciting division this year hands down . the division games are going to be great. The colts are on the outside looking in.

Definitely a resurgence in those teams. They were all bad at one point that they got high picks in Mariota, Bortles, Luck, and Watt/Clowney. Good to see them finally develop. I can't tell you who will that division or finish last.

Texans fans dont hold up their end of bargains/bets. i bet my bro-in-law who "apparently" is such a die hard Texans fan, that the loser of the Cowboys v Texans in regular season (last year i think or year before) had to wear opposite teams jerseys to thanksgiving and for pics and stuff, well the Cowboys won (of course) and he flaked out of it and was like nah i dont play like that?!?! im like WTF thats the simplest bet with no major repercussions! i lost a lot worse bets and stuck to the deal!

I have a soft spot for Jags after living there so long, and its were the wife and i mostly refer to as "home" plus the tix to Jags games used to be awesome! 20 bucks a pop!! lol try getting that here in Jerryworld!

Although, big props to the Texans organization....my uncle from the UK had always wanted to see the 49ers play and they were coming to Houston to play the Texans when i lived there and so him and my cousin flew over for the game and i contacted the front office to see what they could do and we got pretty epic seats and stuff. good time!

can't wait to see murray and henry truck over fools this year all year long!

Good value for henry in terms of fantasy. He's averaging 9th/10th round. what a steal. I have him on all my teams

did you watch the preseason? They have been crushing teams via the run....Him and murray are combined for over 400 yards and 6 touchdowns. Yes its preseason but numbers are numbers. Our o-line is top tier!

I think titans are going to surprise a lot of ppl this year. At least I hope lol.

No worries. I used to a "bigger" fan but I've kind of been turned off by various factors. Plus with other things in my life going on, it's hard to devote time. When I was in college, I read the sports page everyday, read the Lindy's annual football guide, and listen to hours of sports talk radio. Sports nerd.

My team sucking for one thing The rules I don't mind too much. The only big thing I've seen is the shift to the passing game vs the running game and how important it is to have a stud QB or you're DOA for the year. Miami hasn't had that since mid 90's Marino. I do see some flags for unsportsmanlike that is BS but that really doesn't turn me off. I think it was more having kids, significant other, adult responsibility that makes it tough.

Imagine social media and how athletes now are shamed for cheating during the 90's Cowboys run. The teams had "The White House" which basically was a house they shared for their sinning and side pieces.

It's hard to tether yourself to a game for 16 out of 17 weeks for 3 hours when you got so much shit to do. We all know kids and SO's take time. Then you got the shit you've been needing to do and the shit you want to do (TV, movies, music, video games, gym). Shit I used to play guitar. It's literally collecting dust in my family room.

one of the reason i love soccer....90 mins and its done no matter what....but i do love a few hours on Sunday afternoon watching football. biggest issue i have with NFL is how Fantasy has turned things on their head, i mean the amount of magazines solely dedicated to fantasy football, and then when you see a guy in a redskins jersey cheering on a giants vs eagles game just because his Fantasy team....doesnt make a lot of sense imo!

i follow the cowboys, and have a soft spot for the jags, but you will never see me root for the eagles or the redskins or anyone else. i mean i remember when Jacksonville was talking about installing the largest screen in their stadium to attrack more fans, as they were proposing to display fantasy stats real time while the jags game was on........jeez....
