counting down...

three weeks. three weeks till week 1 of preseason football! have we *any* idea how happy i am to be closing in on football season??

don't get me wrong. i like baseball & i'm rooting for the Red Sox & the Astros but i just don't get into it deep till we get closer to the playoffs. and i am really starting to enjoy Nextel Cup racing, getting into it more each week. and finally--dare i say--LET THERE BE HOCKEY!! well next season anyway. but as sports oriented a girl as i am, nothing grabs me & raises my adrenaline like the NFL. sports-wise i live for this time of year that we're approaching. i wanna do a little happy dance of anticipation just thinking about it! LOL

just a little break-down of what you can expect to see here during those wonderful 17 weeks (plus pre- & post-season play!):

OBVIOUSLY:
much elation & support for the New England Patriots & the Green Bay Packers
there should be no question of this. my perfect Super Bowl match-up right here. the only way i would be okay with the Patriots losing would be if Brett Favre got one last ring.

OTHER TEAMS WE LIKE:
Kansas City Chiefs (although not expecting much yet again from them defensively. unfortunately.)
Pittsburgh Steelers

TEAMS WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE DO WELL:
Houston Texans (young but showed some real heart last year)
Carolina Panthers (love a good underdog team)
Detroit Lions (would like to see them finally having some good times after their years in the dumps)
Arizona Cardinals (i feel bad for them--i'd just like to see them have a better season)
San Diego Chargers (really liked the way i saw them play last season!)

TEAMS WE HATE TO SEE WIN EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES:
Denver Broncos
Miami Dolphins
Tampa Bay Bucs (you haven't been reading very carefully if you are unaware that i LOATHE all Tampa sports teams)
Minnesota Vikings
Indianapolis Colts (Peyton Freaking Manning. gag me with a spoon.)
New York Giants (Ego...oops i mean Eli Manning. only thing i like less than Peyton.)
Dallas Cowboys
St. Louis Rams
Phildelphia Eagles

the rest i could take or leave, depending on who they're playing. but be prepared to hear my thoughts on the teams listed above. cause it's coming, baby. football season is on its way!
