we are lucky to have multiple football leagues to follow - those who thumb their nose at the CFL have been missing out. the "big league" starts up and i am excited to see how my Steelers do with a geriatric hall of famer leading them.
lots of good stories going into the season, the Eagles are going to be contenders to repeat.
doing a trip to Dallas for Sunday night football at the end of September - going to see my buddy Jerry (the Netflix documentary is very good)
I can hardly wait for Scott Hansen to say "7 hours of commercial free football..."
holy crow - Micah dealt to the Packers and unless he gets hurt sets up a great showdown for Sunday Night Football in Dallas!!!
going to be epic!!

$188M for 4 years, that is crazy money.
Quite the business of NFL payrolls where a Qb and now prolific pass rusher make over $100M combined
Always cheered for the Packs and now - YAHOO

Can't wait for the Bengals to go 2-0 against the Steelers.
Giants are winning the Superbowl this year ;D
Teams that are interesting.... Rams, Vikings, Broncos Chargers
I follow NFL a bit... Sean Payton is fairly unpopular in general, but when he picked their current qb, he was somewhat laughed at, but Payton was Raving about the guy. And he seems to have been right.quick turnaround would be cool to see.
Chargers... for an obvious reason, the laughs. Cause of their crazy coach.
Vikings... I like their coach,
Rams, coach seems like a good guy and their D line is great, very funny guys on that line. And they are monsters. Another quick turn around team.
Edit, for the Giants fan " [EmpireSportsMedia/Connor Hughes] "I was in the #Giants locker room talking to Jaxson Dart after the preseason game with Jets when Brian Daboll walked over. He shook Dart's hand, looked him straight in eyes and just said 'I love you.' No emotion, no hug. Said it, then walked away.".
Lol... new NFL season : "Let the hokum begin"
... raiders just to see how the old guy does with a new team.
I will also enjoy, in a mean way, watching Aaaaron fail, and the new Jeff fisher take his team to another mediocre season. And be hailed as hof.
wow. before the first series Jalen Carter spits a giant loogie on Dak and gets ejected.
NFL is awesome
huge loss for the Eagles but kudos to the refs for making the right call.
Second half was miserable for the Dak and Lamb combo and
the mighty Eagles,who didn't cover the spread,were victorious

the weather delay sucked the life out of the game...first half was great. I fell asleep and didn't see the last bit. Lamb dropped some catchable balls for sure.
travis kelce destroys xavier worthy with a wicked friendly fire shot to the shoulder...out the game for now
Chiefs lost. ;D
Some decent excitement and yes indeed, solid Kelce hit
Owners, union, league mucky mucks have gotta correct that ability for teams to take victory formations with 2 minutes or less. Paying public is robbed with so many wasted " non-playing" moments. Their 40 second rule is so boring
great football in the early games
Rodgers 4 TD's in his first game as a Steeler - Ramsey with a beautiful hit to seal the victory
Baker with ice in his veins
some kickers having a rough day
NFL is awesome !!
Well that surely was a way to end Sunday night.
vikings vs bears in chicago - let's go!!
game last night was incredible
they bring out jim corneilson for the anthem - crowd goes wild when he starts
caleb williams leans over and says "who is that..?
the dude has some PIPES!!! then a sweet fly by
Imagine blowing a two-score lead. Oh, wait...
Nice come back win by the Vikings.

This is why the Argos can't draw flies, fans drive the hour and a half and take in the NFL games. Change the field and rules all you want to be NFL like, but those fans aren't coming back to the CFL
Winnipeg boy, Theo Johnson, with the Giants opening touchdown.
Has some drop issues, fix that up and he could be a legit TE#1.
Edit: Two TDs now. Keep cooking boy.
Giants fire HC Daboll (https://www.tsn.ca/nfl/article/report-giants-fire-head-coach-daboll-midway-through-fourth-season-at-the-helm/)
Best news of the day.
happy US thanksgiving - took the day off to watch a great slate of games.
The Giants season summed up in one play.
Watched the Detroit game last night, no sign of Manu. The Bomber could us him.
Good opportunity to watch Dee Alford tonight.
One of our best finds.
Update he got an Interception....
Pretty bad game with some great plays by individuals, and bad coaching.
The NFL Over reliance on analytics is starting to produce some bad coaching decisions.
And clock management .... Not great last night.
Dee Alford interception v. Bucs
https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/Riu2LLxFwB
Chiefs eliminated.
(https://media.tenor.com/50lPCpLt_vkAAAAM/will-ferrell-evil-boss.gif)
Certainly am glad I'm not gambling cuz sure didn't expect
the Cowboys, Chiefs to lose must win games.
Also if playing the spread, how bout old man Rivers doing his
part, along with the defence, in the Colts only loss by 2.
Sadly, Parsons and Mahomes seasons ended with terrible injuries
what a weekend of football.
incredible finishes in a number of games. my Steelers pulled out a crazy win, how long DK gets suspended for is the question.
some great cinema and the top teams are emerging. playoffs are going to be so much fun!!

Agree, there have been some very entertaining games.
There's been some hilarious ineptitude in "the league"
Running up the to playoffs.
My favourite.... Steelers can't beat the three win Browns to clinch their playoff spot.
2 pretty good games yesterday. Nice come back by the Bears.
Bye Eagles Bye!
Steelers HC Tomlin resigns (https://www.tsn.ca/nfl/article/report-tomlin-steps-down-as-steelers-coach-after-19-seasons/)
Holy smokes. After the initial few first downs by the Steelers
it absolutely became the Texans Dmen show
Tomlin and his staff had no answers to help their men
Good decision by coach Tomlin to step aside
texans vs rams in the superbowl
winner - texans
Who wins this weekend?
Patriots, Bills, Rams, Seahawks (niners if Sam Darnold has a bad game)
I'm actually hoping for niners.
The games have been really entertaining so far
Seahawks kickoff return td !
John Harbaugh officially hired with the Giants. We're so back.
Bo Nix broke a bone in his ankle and will be out for the rest of the playoffs.
Unreal. Stidham ain't going to do anything.
