Are you daft? There is only one bloody world cup and the Americans shall never raise it. I mean the US was beaten by Ghana, a country so poor that FIFA had to pay for their uniforms. The US will never win so long as they aren't poor enough to have nothing better to do than play some footie.
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.
