I don't know what worries me more, the fact that I'm being lied to, or the fact that you could possibly believe what you are saying.

As for American Football (the bastard son of the bastard son of the bastard son of football), well I'm a Canadian so I'm as in touch but I like the Giants for a good playoff run. At least through one round. Eli Manning got his feet wet last year and he should be more prepared to take his team forward. He's got too much ability and too many brilliant offensive assets to not have the potential to do a fair playoff appearance.

I don't though at this point that we can really judge any of the popular subjects just yet. Miami though did get itself kicked bad by the Steelers WITHOUT their #1 QB. I wanna see the bengals do something impressive. I also wonder what the Eagles can do without TO. Will they actually be better?

Now how about the forgotten football league? the CFL season is at it's mid point and there are some exiting teams playing. The Lions look unstoppable with Dickenson and Geroy Simon but we'll see if Dickie can stay healthy for the post season.

The Eskimos ended a dreadful losing skid tonight with some last minute heroics. Ricky Ray engineered a brilliant final drive to go ahead in the final minute. AJ Gass was brutal on D tonight. Their playoff life is on life support.

The Blue Bombers look like a good playoff contender if Milt Steagal can get healthy and productive like he was in the first half. Kevin Glenn is back and all he's missing is his #1 target.

Hamilton is finished. That Labour Day classic was a joke. I think they had 3 consecutive turnovers.

Damon Allen surpassed Warren Moon last week to become the all time passer in professional football. He still has what it takes to take his team to the championship. Think of him as Brett Farvre but with a good team. The Argos are still a threat. When Ricky Williams gets back from his injury we'll see if he can actually post some numbers that make sense with his name.

The Allhouettes have been sliding from their unbeatable start. Anthony Calvillo threw an uncharacteristic number of INTs last week. The East is looking like a 3 way fight for a championship game berth.

The Roughriders are a bit of an enigma. They look like they can murder one week and tank the next. Maybe they'll be the post season surprise this year, if kerry Joseh is up to it.

The Satmpeders were on a big winning streak but it was barely ended tonight by the Eskimos. They look like the big obstacle for BC this year. If the O-line can give Burress the time he can cut up any secondary, even BCs.

That's my analysis. I guarentee you any and all Americans reading don't know who any of these players are or where these teams play.

I also hate the NFL because they aren't gonna let Damon Allen into the Pro Football hall of fame just cause he played his career in the CFL. That of course makes no sense cause Warren Moon played most of his career in the CFL before he went to the NFL and he was let in. Damon Allen now has beaten Moon for the all time passer mark.

And everyone knows CFL rules are better than NFL. They call Canadian football mutant but its really the NFL. the CFL still retains its rugby roots. You can even kick the ball through the uprights when you're running upfield for a field goal.

And just to appease the hardliners, should farvre have retired instead of staying for another year? It seems as if his team isn't gonna be ready to do anything special until he's too old to play.

As far as my pics... I'm always so far off every year that I don't even try anymore :lol: From what I see seems like every team is showing pretty much an even shot atm, but my favorit is the Baltimore Ravens. Steve McNair has been doing it for a long time now, knows how to win, and is as tough as nails. Now that the Ravens have a quarterback to run the show to compliment the run and that good defense they may be a favorite...

... assuming McNair can stay healthy of course... he is getting kindof old now..:hmm: :shifty: :-?
