More NFL

Hi gang,
Well the preseason is over and it is time for some real football! My teams finished the preseason with a mixed bag of results. The Panthers were a sorry 1-3, the Lions an ecouraging 2-2 (a beatdown at the hands of the Colts notwithstanding) and the Jaguars were a nice 3-1. Are these numbers an indication of the season to come for these wonderful cat teams? Who knows, but I have some thoughts.

The poor Lions have been so bad for so long that it seems only fair that they would have to improve. They are in a crappy division with the stinky Bears, Packers and Vikings so they may have a legit shot at the title. Of course they must be awfully managed to have been as bad as they have been over the years, but hopefully they will begin to see the light with some new players.

The Panthers are only a few years removed from the Super Bowl but have been pretty mediocre since their appearance. This season is an enigma going in. Sure they have Steve Smith the outstanding wideout but little else unless Jake Delhomme comes to play. Again, they are in a crap division so anything can happen.

I am taking a lot of flack around the house for liking the Jaguars, but I can't help it. I'm pretty sure they will be able to beat the Colts this year for the division and that will probably get me in more hot water. Dad calls their QB Gary Coleman. I don't know what that means, but it probably isn't good. He's just jealous of a great team.

Finally some other cats have asked why I am not a Bengals fan. Well quite simply they are just a bunch of losers and thugs and even I can't stand that Chad Johnson. Sure they may be a great offensive team, but to me, they are just offensive period.

Gotta run. I'll check back in after a couple of games and see how the Cat's are doing!

Peace all!
