Hook it to my veins!!!!!
It's Indianapolis vs Washington right? Eh, I could really care less. The Colts are exciting but Peyton and Marvin probably aren't playing (what's up with Marvin's case anyways). Washington sucks. Not to mention it's preseason. I'll probably watch some of it though since I don't really have any plans for today. Just can't wait for the REAL season to start. Baseball is boring as hell...
WEC 35 > Pre-Season football, for me! However, I know what you're saying Beef. When week 1 rolls around, I'll be in full Charger mode.
It is FOOOOOOOOOTBAAAAAAAAAL Grab the eye black Adjust your cup Tighten your chin strap Football, sweet football is here
It'll be nice seeing NFL action back on TV, even if its mostly second day draft picks playing. My offseason football withdrawals are nothing compared to basketball withdrawals.

huevon, just wondering, what's up with Marvin? I remember when he was all over the news at one point, and then all of sudden his name just vanished. What happened? Is he innocent? I mean, you'd think we'd hear something about that as well if it were true...
Like Brian said, baseball is boring. I can't wait for the NFL to start, even if it is just the preseason.
huevon, you guys picked up the Hefty Left? Awesome! Pre-season isn't great, but I'll take it over the CFL anyday. I'm sure a lot of Canadians would give me crap over that statement, but fuck'em.
As the ad for a local paper used awhile back, <u>Football is life. The rest is details.</u> So, in the words of HHH, Are you ready? No! Are you ready!

You people with Pro football teams are lucky. Out here in Michigan we only get to see guys like Peterson, Farve and Urlacher play in scrimages.

By the way, the maize & blue are going down on 8/30.
