Are you ready for some football? Thursday night the defending Superbowl Champion New England Patriots kick off the season against Randy Moss' new team, the Oakland Raiders. Are you excited yet? Cause I sure am. I just finshed my last football draft for the season, and here are the players that are going to be the focus of my attention for the comming weeks. Out of four pools of various designs these are the players I ended up with: Quarterbacks: Donovan McNabb (2), Michael Vick (2), Chad Pennington, Kerry Collins (2), Dante Culpepper, Marc Bulger and Jake Delhomme Wide Recievers: Randy Moss (2), Terell Owens (2), Joe Horn (2), Eric Moulds (2), Hines Ward, Marvin Harrison, Jerry Porter, Larry Fitzgerald, Aquin Boldin, Roy Williams, Issac Bruce, Reggie Wayne, Michael Clayton and Andre Davis Running Backs: LaDainian Tomlinson, Willis McGahee, Julius Jones, Deuce McAllister, Edgerin James (2), Stephen Jackson (2), J.J. Arrington (2), Larry Johnson, Travis Henry (2), Kevin Jones, LaMont Jordan, Rudi Johnson, Cory Dillon and Ricky Williams Tight Ends: Alge Crumpler, Antonio Gates, Jason Witten and Tony Gonzalez Defence: New England, Philadelphia, Minnesota (3), Indianapolis, New York Jets and Buffalo No player made my team more than twice (unless you count the Vikings D), so with 39 different players to keep an eye on it should make the weekends a little more interesting. Official Superbowl Prediction: New England will win a rematch (Carolina, Philly or St. Louis) by a field goal. The Rams are my first pick to make it out of the NFC. Anyone else bold enough to make a prediction before the opening kickoff? |
