While I travel back to Buffalo on Delta Airlines, I’m sure you’ll be enjoying your favorite NFL team in action today. New seasons always open up with Hope. How will your team perform today?
The Saints journey to Atlanta to take on league rivals, the Falcons. I must admit, I don’t pay much attention to these early games because baseball season is still in full swing, but I dare say the game will be on at our house—but if there’s a baseball game on somewhere, I’ll be flipping the channels back-and-forth.
Deb, the Saints pulled out a nail-biter! Let’s hope next week’s game isn’t razor-close like this one!
I was noting yesterday the New Zealand and Ireland women’s rugby players looked healthier than the NWSL players being broadcast at the same time; the least-starved-looking woman on the soccer field was the ref. I hope that’s because the soccer players are constantly running and have somewhat less need to beef up than rugby players, but nonetheless I wonder. So that’s how much I think of male US football…the New Zealand women’s rugby team is much more fun to watch.
Todd, I consider rugby “football” without pads.
Only a fool would pay any attention to the Lions. What are we at– 70 years of bad teams.
Patti, the Lions gave the Eagles a scare!
Let’s just say, no one will go broke this year betting against the Giants. That said, they are actually favored to win today in Tennessee. They better, because they have the mighty Bills net week and a tough schedule after that.
No, I won’t be watching.
Jeff, those who bet against the Giants today took a bath! I told you Brian Daboll would change the culture. It will take a couple seasons for the full transformation, but then the Giants will be in Playoff Team contending for a Super Bowl. Go Giants!
Some things never change. The Giants are stinking the joint out as usual.
Jeff, be patient with the Giants!
Well, the Saints and the Giants both pulled it out in the end.
Jeff, Week One was full of surprises. What happened to the New England Patriots? 20-7 beatdown!
My brother, sister and I are in a football survivor pool — where each week you pick one team to win. If it wins, you continue on to the next week. If it loses, you’re done for the season. (You can only pick each team once.) We did abysmally this first week. We each have (well, had) three entries in the pool. I had one winner in Miami; Cincinnati and Tennessee both missed game-winning field goals. My brother won with Baltimore, lost with San Francisco and Tennessee. My sister won with Baltimore, lost with Tennessee, is still alive with Denver. We also have a friend in the same pool, who lost with both Cincinnati and San Francisco and still has Denver. Four people, 12 picks, at best 5 remaining and at worst 3 — in the first week! Merde!
Jeff, plenty of surprises in Week One! As I was flying back from BOUCHERCON in Minneapolis, the seat TV showed me the Ravens vs. Jets game. The Jets looked pathetic without a quarterback. Joe Flacco is NOT the answer! And, like Josh Allen, I’m concerned Lamar Jackson is taking too many hits.
And welcome back. Airline fun.
Todd, Mark Twain once said, “You have to be a masochist to travel.” I’m very glad to be back and blogging again!
