Football banter

Football is back and it's a beautiful thing!!

Michael Vick is back in football and will be very exciting for Eagles fans if they can avoid too many distractions from any negative fan reaction.

Brett Favre knew he was making a mistake when he announced he was done just before preseason began and all it took was one preseason game to change his mind. He's with the Vikings now and it's really great to see him playing again with a good Vikings team. They are 3-0 and I fully expect them to be in the playoffs if Favre stays healthy. He pulled off an absolutely amazing game winning TD pass vs the Niners Sunday. That's why he's great for the league. The guy can still play at a high level and loves this game as much as I do. Next Monday night's Packers/Vikings game will be fun.

It's hard to believe we are already 4 games into the college football season! Yikes, that was fast. My Huskers are off to a 3-1 start and I'm really excited to see how we do at Mizzou. They haven't seemed to have lost a step despite losing Chase Daniels. Next Thursday's battle at Missouri will be a good one. Two early nominees for best games of the season are Florida St vs Miami and Michigan vs Notre Dame. Both were great football games.

How bout the defending Super Bowl champs? They seem to be in a little trouble. It's early in the year, but they are 1-2 and could easily be 0-3. They squeaked by the Titans in the opener and have lost their last two by 3. It doesn't get any easier with the Chargers next. Something to keep an eye on. GREAT TO HAVE FOOTBALL BACK...the best time of the year!
