Are we doing the Freeper NFL Pick 'um again this year on Yahoo? Not sure who organized it, but I enjoyed it.

Go Ravens!

The guy who organized that is no longer here on FR....
I should look into setting that up for this year, that was fun.

Anyone know when the the new commissioner's name will be put on "The Duke"?

[NCC-1701]

Oh, and, BTW, GO COWBOYS!!!!!

[Dysart]

Who's ready for some overtime pre-season football?

[Dysart]

Look at Jay Cutler's passing stats. Wow, this guy will be good.

PASSING CP/AT YDS TD INT J. Cutler 16/22 192 1 0

[scott says]

Almost....nice kick.
Can't wait for the real thing to start.

[Dysart]

Not a bad ps game at all. Cowboys Vs Seahawks tomorrow night. GO Cowboys!

Haven't acquired da Bears taste yet.

Don't acquire that taste and you'll go far (just don't admit it at work ;-)

[STARWISE]

LOL .. I also have to remember the two baseball team fans .. and they're adamant about *their* Chicago team ;)

[mainepatsfan]

Oh I like what I saw from him last night. Dillon didn't look to shabby either. If the offensive line stays healthy the Pats ground game should be pretty strong this year.

[mainepatsfan]

He should get a chance to start somewhere.

I set up a league in Yahoo's Pro Football Pick'em (same as last year.)

A Yahoo id is required. League name is Freepers and the password is freepers.

There is room for 50, but I'm not sure how to announce it or where to post it.

[Pharmboy]

Yep...agreed. It's even worse this year, as the coaches are not giving many of their star players any time at all. For example, in the Giants game last night, Tiki, Strahan and Shockey did not get any plays. Toomer was in for 2 series, etc.

Da Bears were the most exciting team to watch last year IMO, and we look forward to you guys coming in on Nov 12. Good luck this season...

I'm decidedly a Cowboys fan, not a Bears guy. Do you still wish us luck?:) Thanks.

It's going to be brutal war for the NFC East this year; I think the winner could quite easily have an 10-6 record. It may come down to who has the healthiest #1 QB in the end.

GO COWBOYS!

[Pharmboy]

Honest mistake...since you were talking about Da Bears preseason lst year, i figured you were a Bears guy. Well, I still wish you luck this season, as I do everyone devoted to their teams.

Of all the teams in the NFC East, you upgraded the most. Just adding TO did that. The question does remain whether he will be a good mix along with Tuna the rest of the team. That being said, Parcells is one of the few coaches that TO would have a good chance to do well with.

And, as you say, health will be a key. I went to training camp last week, watched the preseason game, and STILL haven't seen Arrington play because of his knee.
