Football is back!

The Dolphins looked great against the Bears. TD on the first drive and a 3 and out on the next on defence.

The Fins definitely put on a show! I can't say the same for my Giants against the Bengals. Hopefully they pick it up in the second half here.

It is PRESEASON, guys. PRACTICE GAMES. They don't matter, except for an opportunity for the coach to try out a few things and vet some players.

They're SCRIMMAGES. Winning a practice game is meaningless.

I can't help it. I get excited for the upcoming season.

I'm stuck hearing the locals get all worked up because the (S)Aints lost in the final seconds.

I don't waste my breath remind them it's PRACTICE. Even worse, those clowns have a history with preseason. If they blow out the other teams in preseason, they go 0-16 or slightly better. They seem to do better when they LOSE in preseason.

Then again, I don't get excited with post season either.

Michael Sam walked away again from his stint at Montreal. He managed to play one game before he bowed out due to mental health issues. I don't think he's tough enough to play football at a professional level.

I'm going to have to agree with you. He does not have what it takes obviously.

Just as the players have to ease back into their groove, we did the same with tailgating yesterday at Eagles-Colts. No cooking, brought a few pizzas, some wings and of course a cooler full of beer. No need for a pre-season injury. $40 just to park now, mother fuckers.

On another note, the Philly crowd was overwhelmingly supportive of Tebow... some pretty big cheers when he was announced to come in.
