Will Trump force a Washington Commanders return to Redskins?

Will there be breakout stars from the new recruiting class?

What else?

@Debbie S - I'm supposed to be getting tickets for Ravens-Chiefs game on September 28. I say supposed to, but the ticket connection is super busy with the Brazil - Chiefs game.

Pre season games don't tell you a lot of about the teams. The Chargers/Lions preseason game was a bit lopsided, no starters in. Lions did try something different with a defensive player doing kick off returns. We'll see if the continue to try it.
 
Just watched the first episode of Hard Knocks and the Bills are the featured team. Good stuff!
 
Yay, Ravens!

I know a preseason win basically means nothing, but it was good to watch one of my teams winning, as opposed to the Orioles disaster.

I'm a little worried about our new kicker. He missed a kick but did at least hit another later in the game. I know he's a rookie but we have high expectations for our kickers here. ;)
 
My go-to on all things NFL is Colin Cowherd and he is picking the Chargers this year in the AFC West. Denver finally has some cash and they are adding talented players. Not sure about the Raiders though….KC has their work cut out for them.
 
I watched someone on ESPN predict that KC won't even make the wild card bid this year. I don't know who, the sound isn't on the TVs at PT.

Anyway we will see. I'm not making any predictions this year.

I'm worried about Micah Parsons wanting to be traded because my Cowboys are dicking around with his contract. Thanks Jerry.

Jerry can’t see that he is the problem. The team is like his favorite toy.
 
Cowherd has NFL Films analyst Greg Cosell and journalist Albert Breer on once a week during football season. Their football IQ is off the charts and they are never about denigrating teams, individuals or staff.

Breer goes to every team during the preseason. One thing that stuck out was his comments on the Bengals. Observing practice he said the offense is so good that the defense can be average and the team could win the AFC. The defense remains a question mark.

Panicking NBC Realizes They Left Cris Collinsworth In Broadcast Booth All Offseason

PHILADELPHIA—Rushing into a darkened stadium and dreading what they might discover, NBC Sports producers reportedly panicked Friday upon realizing they had accidentally left analyst Cris Collinsworth in the Sunday Night Football broadcast booth for the entire offseason. “We just assumed he’d...

Let's see...watched the Broncos and they looked really good. They were marching up and down the field with ease. The KC D looked awful against Seattle and so they put the starters in this week. Much better but we did lose some good players as they could get bigger paychecks elsewhere.

I saw this from a players wife on TikTok. They are at a new place, she is 8 months pregnant and this happens: Not good.

 
Go Cowboys! I am not very optimistic though.

Same with the Cardinals.

I am running out of teams to cheer for. :)
 
Our friends, whose son works for Chiefs Communication Division, and attended the Red Carpet Event - said Travis was all red carpet stunning with the streaming premiere "The Kingdom" the six part series on the Chiefs. Taylor was not present, Patrick and Brittney, the Reid's, Donna and Ed Kelce were. Prevailing theory was she was staying out of the limelight for the Chiefs to have their moment.

I asked since ESPN had already aired The Kingdom during preseason, why the red carpet premiere now. According to our friends, it was the streaming series premiere for ESPN+ and Disney.
 
The ESPN app on my phone alerted me about Travis and Taylor's engagement earlier today....didn't know they were giving out that sort of news too, LMAO :lol:
 
Jerry Jones is six feet of ass. I hope my Cowboys do well in spite of him but losing Parsons hurts

Actually they didn't look bad yesterday. If Lamb catches that pass maybe the outcome is different. Some theatrics from Mahomes couldn't save the Chiefs tonight. Herbert was excellent.

Did you watch that series? It is so good. I think the Eagles fans couldn't believe the Chiefs would make a series when the final episode ends in a SB loss but I am certain they didn't watch the first five episodes or they would not have asked. There is so much history in this along with the ups and downs of last season. I think every team should do their own series.

I agree, I was heartened to see them be so close to the SuperBowl champions. A few missteps from Lamb and the one fumble by the running back. The game was close, and they could have won it. Let's get past the silly mistakes and beat the Giants!
 
I was so nervous given the Commanders preseason record but they looked great against the Giants. Looks like my brother-in-law the Eagles fan and I are going to have another :argue: year.
