More Storylines to Watch For
Before the 2006-07 season began, I wrote two articles giving the casual football fan reasons to watch the NFL this year. And since the first two had so much success, I thought I would keep the ball rolling and come out with 32 more reasons to watch the NFL this season.
- Pittsburgh Steelers – From the looks of things, Charlie Batch might be back at the helm of the offense. Who doesn’t want to see that?
- Seattle Seahawks – The injury bug has bitten this team hard, I’d tune in just to see who else they have on their roster besides Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck.
- Denver Broncos – Denver is the most dominant 5 – 1 team not to be mentioned with the NFL elite. Tune in to watch this team silently roll to another 13 – 3 season.
- Carolina Panthers – Is it just me or does QB Jake Delhomme look like the kind of guy that would be married to his own cousin?
- Indianapolis Colts – Watch the Colts if you don’t get enough Peyton Manning during every timeout of a NFL game.
- Cincinnati Bengals – This team is by far the funniest in the league. Tune in to watch “Ocho Cinco” and T.J. “Whose-Your-Momma”. Who knows, you might even see a little sizzling bacon action…
- New York Giants – Tiki Barber claims he’s going to retire at season’s end to pursue other career opportunities. After his performance in that Dish Network commercial, I’m sure the “Dancing with the Stars” producers are just salivating.
- New England Patriots – The Pats are quietly positioning themselves to have another great season and make a deep run into the playoffs, tune in before they are back on everyone’s radar.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Since the Shaved bird (Chris Simms) has a bad spleen, the Bucs handed the reigns over to a guy that looks like a deranged psycho killer.
- Jacksonville Jaguars – In the last article I said that this team was going to win 11 or more games this year, but after watching them lose to the Texans and noticing all of their injuries; they may not win 8 games.
- Atlanta Falcons – The Falcons are right on the cusp between being a really great team and a really horrible team. Tune in to see which one shows up each week.
- San Diego Chargers – I STILL can’t say anything bad about the Chargers. LT is the leading scorer on my fantasy team. Keep scoring those TD’s Ladainian!!!
- Dallas Cowboys – Tony Romo and “the player” are bosom buddies, Drew Bledsoe and Terry “She” Glenn are sulking, and Parcells is still trying to figure out why he left the broadcast booth for all of this.
- Miami Dolphins – I’m sorry, I was laughing too hard to write anything about this joke of a team… Hahahaha… the Dolphins…Hahahahaha…
- Chicago Bears – As hard as “Sexy” Rex Grossman has tried to suppress it, the old Univ. of Florida QB stigma has reared its ugly head once again.
- Kansas City Chiefs – A team quarterbacked by one of the Huard brothers is always fun to watch.
- Washington Redskins – If you buy all the best players and the best coaches and still lose…that’s just sad…
- Baltimore Ravens – I called this team a playoff contender at one point, but if Kyle “I should’ve been a” Boller takes over full time; I would no longer call this a NFL team.
- Arizona Cardinals – I watch the Cardinals just for head coach Dennis Green. “The Bears are who we thought they were!” That’s classic…
- New York Jets – I heard that some lucky person has finally won the “spell D’Brickashaw” competition. Plus, this team is actually not half bad and lest we forget the “Stanford – Cal-esque” play against the Colts.
- Minnesota Vikings – I actually looked at their roster, this team is actually pretty good. Maybe if they stay off the Lake Minnetonka they might sneak into the playoffs.
- Cleveland Browns – I tried watching a Browns game, but I just couldn’t get past the ugly uniforms.
- Philadelphia Eagles – Philly is actually on the verge of having a pretty good season, this wouldn’t be a bad time to hop on their band wagon.
- Tennessee Titans – Tennessee is a year away from being a respectable team. Not to mention Vince Young is the next coming of Randall Cunningham.
- New Orleans Saints – This team just may ride the emotion and adrenaline of their fans right into the NFC playoff picture.
- Buffalo Bills – Normally I wouldn’t recommend watching the Bills, but RB Willis McGahee and WR Roscoe Parrish are from my hometown of Miami, Florida so I tune in occasionally.
- San Francisco 49ers – San Fran could be worse… they could be the Dolphins. Hahahaha… the Dolphins…haha.
- Houston Texans – Tune in to watch the bust of the 2006 draft… Mr. Mario Williams.
- St. Louis Rams – They have a pretty good team and now I have RB Stephen Jackson on my fantasy team so… Go Rams running game!!!
- Oakland Raiders – DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, watch the Oakland Raiders. They are horrible…
- Green Bay Packers – Ahman Green is back, Favre is having fun again, and things can only go up from here for the cheese heads.
- Detroit Lions – Roy Williams is by far the most idiotic man alive…
