Thread: NFL 2013

It is worth starting a thread at this point, as the season will start soon.

Lots of injuries already in practice with torn ACLs.

More info to come on the upcoming NFL season.

Who is your team and how are they doing?

I enjoy John Madden on Monday Night Football.

As someone who has had major ACL reconstruction I would have to agree. These are serious injuries and for a speedster like RGIII it will affect his speed and ability to make cuts not to mention the probability for re-injury.

He's good although since Hank Williams Jr. was run-off, it hasn't been the same...

Well, if we really want to get down to it, there hasn't been a better Monday Night Football announcer than the late/great Howard Cosell!

Well.....my pick to win it all:

Seattle Seahawks.

Being a Seahawk fan I would agree!

I have been catching up on the Seahawks.

SF will be good and tough. To get to the Super Bowl the Hawks have to win the division, IMO.

First game, SF @ Seattle.

Gonna be wild!

How did you tear your ACL, bsnub, if ya don't mind me asking.

I first tore it at a punk rock show when I was 21. I severed it for good a few years later when I worked as an appliance delivery man. I was pulling a large refrigerator up three flights of stairs when she tore. My knee was instantly the size of a grapefruit.

I played football for many years in School and was only hurt twice. I pulled hamstring and a pinched nerve in my shoulder that still dogs me today.

Seahawks and Bengals ... Not too far fetched of an idea they could meet in the SB.

Last two years they've made the playoffs with the addition of a really good QB and an outstanding WR ... And now they might have a running game.

They haven't been able to get by the Texans the last two years in the playoffs but they've improved each year.

The AFC is weak right now and a few breaks here there they might get lucky.

Want to make a bet old stores?

This is my favorite part of the season- the short period of time before the Jets and Giants massively disappoint me (which usually happens around November).

How can you have any integrity as a fan and root for both?

Ok, Let's hear it ...

Same as mine I think ... One AFC and one NFC team and when push comes to shove he goes with the Jets and I'd have to go with the Seahawks ...

bsnub, I hope an assume your knee is pain free now.

As for the Seahawks, I was wrong: first game Sep 8 is at NC Panthers. The second game on Sept 15 is 49ers at home.

More cuts coming as the roster goes to 53 in a few days.

I'm mucking up this thread with a distraction. Here is another (vomit inducing) Rolling Stone article on Hernandez and some think he get a lessor conviction because of the evidence so far.

Hard to say, but you know how the US court system can produce surprising results.

Prosecutors do often over-charge.

Paul Solotaroff: ‘Aaron Hernandez Grossly Overcharged’

Aaron Hernandez will be back in the NFL in three or four years.
Possibly.


“I think (the case) is not only beatable, (but) I think he will be back in the nfl within three or four years,” Rolling Stones contributing editor Paul Solotaroff said on The Doug Gottlieb Show. “I think they’ve grossly overcharged him based on the case they’re building – no direct eye witness, no murder weapon (and) no plausible motive.”


Rolling Stone this week released a story, written by Solotaroff, that traces Hernandez’s path from troubled youth to troubled college player to troubled pro – all the way to a troubled man facing murder charges in the death of Odin Lloyd.

If what I am hearing is correct, RGIII will be starting in game #1 against the Eagles.




And Dr. Andrews recommends he is "used in a different way."

Perhaps an Option Read Offense with more running for the side lines are going down than these long runs down field like last year.

As I've said, I see a re-injury as a strong possibility for young Robert.

I am getting pumped. I will be at the newly renovated Husky stadium Saturday to watch the dogs take on Boise St.!

I do not watch preseason since it is a time to try out all those prospects wanting a spot on the team and it doesn't really reflect the full capability of the team and where it stands. It is difficult to get down to the number required and I hate to see guys killing each other to make the team.

Once the season starts, I am in full swing, including Fantasy Football. I cheer for all the CA teams, but the Raiders have been my team for over 40 years because I like their smashmouth brand of football. If I had to pick a team that would go to the Superbowl, it would be SF. Since I am currently about 300 miles from San Francisco, being a fan becomes easier even though Oakland is just across the bay.
