2012 NFL Season

[naiwf]

The Giants will be lucky to go .500 next year. That schedule is vicious.

Also, the Ravens first three home games are all at night. MNF ( Week 1), SNF (3) and then TNF (4).

You know what that means LNK?

Cheap. Scalped. Tickets!!!!!

[Sandars]

Well as a Panthers fans, I wasn't expecting much and the NFL delivered. We can't afford a slow start in 2012, with 3 divisional games in the first month (plus a visit from the Giants), but after that, things do even out a little. I'm really looking forward to Matt Flynn v. Newton in week 5 and Peyton v. Newton in week 10.

Those Steelers throwback jerseys look like Chinese knockoff Bengals jerseys

Hot damn, looks like I get to see the Cowboys and the Redskins on Thanksgiving. I'll probably try to take in another game too, I'm thinking Tampa Bay, as I'd like to see the Cowboys win.

Well that changes things. At least their color scheme fits in well in Lakerland.

If this happens I expect Minnesota to finalize a stadium deal in a few years, once the economy improves, and lure Jacksonville or someone else with the combination of a small fanbase/bad stadium deal up north.

In what should come as no surprise, Adam Shefter is reporting the Colts have told Andrew Luck he'll be the #1 pick in the draft

Not sure if it's been mentioned but this should make the draft a much better watch (Y)

[Meacon Keaton]

Good. That really ruined the fun the last few years.

I'm so excited. I love the draft. Still wish it was on the weekend, but I'm laid off, so every day is the weekend.

[GhostMachine]

I have some bad news: Brian Dawkins retired. There goes my enjoyment of seeing him German Suplexing the hell out of players and folding them up like an accordion with the move.

Dawkins To Be Honored At Giants Game

[Meacon Keaton]

Now we have to get a safety this offseason. The fact that Dawkins and Bailey are getting older has kind of been pushed to the side the last few years. Such a shame to see him go. He was a great leader. Hell of a player.

Mickey Loomis may have been able to spy on opposing coaches. This rabbit hole for the Saints just keeps getting deeper.

[Damian WayLNKe]

Watch the NFL take away their franchise tag rights on Brees.

[gunnar hendershow]

They'll lose a draft pick for that if past punishments are any indication. That whole organization is a mess now, how quickly they've fallen.

Falcons may be trying to trade for Asante Samuel. Which I am perfectly fine with, since we've needed a good corner since glaciers formed the mountains.

[gunnar hendershow]

Wonder how much they'll give up.
