Are Ready For Some Football!

Football starts in on Thursday. And I can't wait.


The Raiders are about to go to New England to play the Super Bowl champs, the Patriots.

This could be a great game, and here's why.

Randy Moss signed with the Raider Nation, was there ever a better trade in the history of sports?

When I heard Moss was going to Oakland, I thought, that makes a lot of sense, this is a match made in heaven, or maybe hell, but what's the difference, it's a perfect match.

Add to that coach Bill Belichick's lost his two top guys, Romeo Crenell and Charlie Weis, his offensive and defensive coordinators. Tom Brady has a sore shoulder, and is probable, and Wide Receiver David Givens is questionable.

Bill also can't really prepare for Randy Moss in the Raider offense, he doesn't have any tapes to go to.

But, if I were a betting man, which I'm not, I still like the Patriots in this game.



In more news, Jerry Rice retired.

And good for him!

He didn't feel like being the number 4 guy in Denver. And why not?

He's the greatest receiver of all time.

There has been a great debate about the fact that Jerry Rice is the best Football Player ever.

That is a ridiculous question.

You may be able to pick the best Basketball player of all time, he only shares the court with 4 other guys. You may be able to make that argument about the best Baseball ever, if they play their position well, and can hit and put up numbers, but Football is a totally different animal.

Who was better, Joe Montana or Steve Young when Rice picked up 3 rings?

See what I mean?

You have to compare football players, position-by-position.

Jerry Rice is the best receiver I've been alive to see.



Then we have to talk about the Saints.

They don't have a home.

Whatever happens, I hope they do all they can to not abandon the New Orleans community.

It may be that the Superdome has to come down.

I hope if it does, the Saints management works with the city to be a part of Louisiana.

There is a rumor that they could come to Los Angeles.

Actually, that has been a topic of conversation for a few years, but LA won't support a team.

They couldn't support the Rams, so the Raiders moved in.

If Los Angeles couldn't keep the Raider-Nation, LA should never have a team, period!

The other rumor I've heard is that The Chargers go to LA, and the Saints go to San Diego.

From the Saints point of view, this makes sense.

The Chargers, my favorite team, might be able to make an impact on the LA market, if they can have another winning season.

The Saints could do well in San Diego, that city loves their losers for some reason.

Maybe it is the perfect weather, the beach commuinty with a rather acceptable cost of living for what you get that has them so indifferent to winning.

Unfortunately, The Chargers are a good team. But they have some other good teams in their division, including the Moss-Era Raiders, the defense enhanced, always powerful offense of the Chiefs and the always running Broncos.

If they can overcome that, I would say, Chargers, go back home to LA.

They were originaly from LA.

And then the Saints would have a nice spot to continue on their losing ways, and still have the support of their community.

Look at the Gaslamp district and the Garden district. Mardi Gras, and Street Scene...

This would be a natural transition for New Orleans fans.

But again, abandoning New Orleans is not right...

But watch the Fu2r, I see things, they tend to happen.
