The other day, a buddy and I were discussing teams we really dislike. The list includes the Patriots, Cowboys, Saints, Packers, Eagles and Jets. Good teams with idiotic coaches and/or owners. The Packers are a new addition this year and are there because of their players.

Which teams do you not like?

I don't follow your logic. You say the teams you dislike are "good teams with idiotic coaches/owners". How can teams be good if the management and ownership of the teams are "idiotic"? usually to be good year after year, like the Patriots, you have to be very smart.

The Saints' owner is an idiot, except when it comes to making money.

For years, I think Benson was too involved in micro-managing the team, but finally relented and let the pros do their job.

Raiders, Broncos and Chiefs.

At least they won you a Super Bowl recently...

It will be interesting to see how things go for the Saints this year, I dont think a team has ever been in a situation like this before.

Should be an interesting season with about ten teams that can theoretically win it all. Some interesting things to watch for;

-Will Andrew Luck take the NFL by storm or will he start his NFL Career like Peyton Manning throwing more pics than touchdowns?

-Will Peyton Manning have a big comeback year?

-Will Plaxico Burress return to form and vault the Patriots to a superbowl win (I hope not).

-Will The Jets be as bad as they looked during pre season and will Sanchez be so inept that he is replaced by Tim Tebow?

-Are the 49ers for real?

Yes, just a couple of years after Benson let his coaches & managers do their jobs.

Plaxico Burress still believes a team will sign him

The phone isn't ringing for Plaxico Burress.

The longtime NFL wide receiver sits at home in New Jersey, three days from the start of the regular season, with no team to call his own.

Burress is disappointed, no doubt. But this is the same man who also spent nearly two years in prison on a gun charge. This is nothing.

"I'm a human being and have been through worse," Burress told the New York Daily News on Saturday. "I've been in darker places. I'm alive, I'm home here with my family. If I don't play football again, I have a nice shiny piece of hardware to show for it. If it is over, football has been wonderful to me. If I don't play anymore, it won't be because I can't play anymore or can't get open."

so i didn't miss anything. right now he isn't on a team and i don't see the patriots getting him. they have too many receivers/tight ends already.

Sorry if I teased any Patriots fans. I thought I heard Burress signed with them but apparently they just worked him out and passed on him. He's only 35- not really young but he should have one or two good years left in him. The Broncos should pick him up. Manning needs some receivers.

It didn't make sense to me either. It's not like the Jets have a stockpile of good receivers. The only good receiver is Santonio Holmes and he only tries half the time.

LOL, makes us almost not miss ST

the jets also have jeremy kerley who is really good.they picked up chaz schilens but he is injury prone and drafted stephen hill. i guess they thought that was good enough but i don't think it is. the jets have a pretty soft schedule and can easily win 6-7 games almost on defense alone. if the jets can create holes on offense for the running backs i think they will make the passing game easier as long as they protect sanchez and not let him get sacked 39 times again like last year

Replacement refs? Damn it NFL, fix this!

There is no thinking about it, it's a fact: no team has ever been in that kind of situation before.

I don't recall Peyton Manning throwing pictures around in his first year. Where did you get that "information"?

Even when I know... I have started to add the "think"/"might"/"maybe" to posts TO TRY TO avoid people who love nothing more than to crash into thread and nitpick my posts.

BTW-Fun fact... the guy on the news just said that this was the 1st NFL game to be played on a Wednesady since 1945.
