This is our year.
Here's my crazy Super Bowl pick. Detroit Lions vs Houston Texans
I'm going with the Philadephia Eagles vs the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ofcourse the pre-season game didn't inspire that much, but that doesn't mean anything! Maybe the Eagles will actually win their first Super Bowl this year!
Being wrong is not a democracy!
Cleveland may not be headed anywhere soon, but I think the Browns will start turning it around this season, they should at least be interesting to watch these next few seasons, I especially like the white on white uniforms.
This is my first season of getting into football so I'm still figuring out what teams I like besides my Browns, but this should be a good season after the lockout talk
lol, I won't knock you for liking the Browns, but you really should stick to just one team
^yea normally I like to stick to only one, but when you know you're team isn't going too far, you want someone to root for during the playoffs
But no matter what Cleveland will stay my number 1, and one thing I've learned over the years is that northeast Ohioans are passionate about our Browns no matter how badly they do.
Yeah you should stick to one favorite team in each sport. If you like players from other teams in one sport, then it's okay. Just don't have tons of favorite teams in one sport.
Wow, what a way to start the season. Packers pick up where they left off, and so do the Saints.
That was an awesome way to begin the season. Being a fan of both teams, I enjoyed every second of it.
I can't wait for tomorrow. I hope every game has some type of crazy bizarre ending to it. The only problem is waking up early tomorrow. It's been awhile since I got up early in the morning on Sundays.
