Are you ready for some Football (NFL style) - 2025/2026 season?

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.

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

Isn't that his MO? Dak Prescott last year right?

Maybe the players learned negotiating 101 from Chris Jones and KC?

That is completely his MO. Unfortunately he’d have to die for us to get someone else.

Who Dey!

Just watched the first episode of Hard Knocks and the Bills are the featured team. Good stuff!

Goooooo Niners!

Also, it would be nice to see Jimmy G play again. He’s too pretty to not be playing

 

[Debbie S]

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.

Jerry can’t see that he is the problem. The team is like his favorite toy.

I hope he’ll be ok. He’s so young

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.
