Foist Day Jitters

So here we are. Day 1 of the NFL season... and my first evar post on the blog. I'm just gonna rush right into an assortment of thoughts going into tonight and into the season.

The Purple
1. On the recent news - Bobby Wade released, Greg Lewis picked up?? After doing a little research on this i guess Chilly justified it by letting us know that Greg lewis could act as a "gunner" on special teams as well as serve a backup role to Percy. I ... guess. Wade could not separate from anybody the last few years and it was noticeable on his routes, but Greg lewis is 5'1'' and about a buck fity in weight and runs like a duck. I'm meh about that situation. I suppose Lewis will enjoy getting his first ever ring in a purple uniform. HAYOOOO.

2. Overall Preseason Take - I'm about as cynical of a fan as they come, but the purple goggles are thick and i'm extremely excited for this season as it approaches. I mean, we have the greatest mullet (moo - lay) in the league who also happens to be a stizzud DE and kills grizzly bears for fun. We have probably the greatest RB this franchise has ever seen up to this point and will probably ever see again for another 50 years. We ripped the heart out of those sconnie bastards by taking their beloved demi-god Bert Favre. We have Tony Dungy Numero Dos treading the sidelines for a third consecutive year dialing up a sickly good defense every single week. Some stud rookies in the draft this year, and to top it off, Chilly with a nice full beard, have turned this upcoming season into one of the most anticipated since 'nam. I'm already gettin' a little tight in the pants just thinking about us hoisting the Lombardi trophy bringing it to the great north woods of Minnesota.

Other NFL musings

1. Tonight tonight tooniiiighhhtt... whoooaaaaaa. Stillers vs. Titans, I'm gonna have to take the black in this one. Steelers are at home and I think the Titan's season last year was a mirage. They are good but Lebeau and Tomlin will have the boy's ready tonight, it's a close one, but stillers win 24-17.

2. Speaking of Lenwale White. He sucks. And his dance sucks. Just wanted to vent my illogical dislike of that poopsmith.

3. I hope Ben Rothlisburger and Shawne Merriman pulled out.

4. And how about the Raiders, giving up most likely a TOP TEN first round pick in 2011 for an aging DT who probably shat himself when he heard he was getting traded from the beloved Pats to the lowly Raiders. Somehow, the Patriots goad another franchise out of a first round pick and create some cap room as well as space for their defensive line prospects (who looked good this preseason).

5. After watching hard knocks this season. I think Runpee.com is one of the greatest gimmick ideas of all time and it's a great idea for an iphone app. Ochocinco is one quirky SOB, but not a bad dood. Carson Palmer would look good in purple. And I love listening to Mike Zimmer talk, just something about how he weaves swear words into his vocab is something to behold.
