The 2010 NFL season starts tonight and while I don't recommend a bet on the game I thought I'd present my analysis of each team and my prediction on this Quagmire-sized rematch of last season's NFC championship game. Let's blow this sausage fest and hit the international house of tail!
If you're playing in a Family & Friends league, you are required to pick yourself in the first round. Even if you're an offensive lineman. Go ahead, you're bigger than they are, so you get to make up your own rules during the draft. No one will object.
Once upon a time athletes were idolized on a level reserved for presidents, war heroes, and explorers. Today, with the advent of reality TV and gossip-mongering magazines, it seems there's little use for "nice" stories.

The summer of 2010 was supposed to be a joyous festival of the World Cup, historic baseball pennant races, and a dynamic NBA free agent period. Instead, the nation's fever dream has become the sports world's nightmare.
In order to build a professional sports franchise, you don't wait to see what the future holds. You see the future and create it what needs to be in it. That's what the Jets are doing.
While BCS bashing has become a national past time, games last night should remind us that there is tremendous value to the status quo. I'm already getting excited for Penn State/Alabama next week!
