1) Who's ready for some football??!! Is it wrong that Im watching NFL Preseason Live on NFL Network??
Count me in. I cannot believe I was watching preseason last night. I guess the bad taste of last season for the Raiders and the totally horrid seasons by the Marlins has me desperate! LOL!
2) Do you guys have any surprise teams this year in the NFL?
I will keep saying it. It will be my Raiders. Flying WAY below the radar with NOTHING expected from the except a 6-10 season.
3) The Reds are slumping a little bit. Do you think the Reds hold off and win the NL Central?
NO ONE else seems to have enough to take it away from them. I would LOVE for the Pirates to battle them to the bitter end.
4) What do you guys think of the Orioles, the Pirates and the Nationals? Do you think they make the playoffs?
Nope, Nope and yes. I have to say, for as well as the Nats are playing...they got very lucky in the fact that the Phillies had ALL of their big guns hurt...Marlins had slumps and injuries to just about everyone...the Braves got off to a crappy start and the Mets never really had enough horses to compete. Before I consider them a "mainstay" as a playoff contender, let's see what happens next year.
5) What do you think of the MLB new playoff format? Heres the link:

ANYTHING to promote a league that lack BIG time in ratings, I am for.
6) Have you watched the Olympics and if you have, what do you think of it?
I can honestly say, this is the Olympics I have watched the least. I do not know why.
9) If you guys read the mlb thread, you can skip this question/comment. Despite winning today, Im very upset about the Mets. The Mets finally won at home today. I heard that it was there first home victory in 23 home games. Could that be right? Well, anyway, they have struggled. If they continue to struggle, they could end up in last place. If you check the standings, the Mets, Marlins and Phillies, are 3 games difference between each other.
The Mets are a team with slingshots when most of the division has guns.
11) Did you hear the UFL is back??!!! Ok, calm down, thats right the UFL is back!! They are airing there games on CBS Sports Network.
12) Jan. 2, 2013, NBC starts there own radio network, any thoughts?
See above
13) For you guys that dont live here in the East Coast, especially NY, Conn., NJ, all we are hearing is about Tebow and Sanchez and the season hasnt even started yet. At least, you guys are spared somewhat.
