Greetings.

 

The NFL is back and starts up this evening.  Thank goodness.  Why does the only sport going during the off-season of 3 sports have to be baseball?  No disrespect to batgirl, but shoot me fucking dead.  Baseball has some serious issues, but somehow I still watch it.  Go Mariners!

 

As always, there are plenty of good stories entering the season, and Ozzy and I will do our best to cover some of them in our upcoming picks.  We'll be spreading these out over the next 4 days.  Today, we cover the Coasts of the NFC, the East and West Divisions . After our final choices, I'll provide our playoff records from last year and you can laugh at me for my failures.

 

For the contest, see the bottom of the update.  You're welcome.

NFC East :

Gallion - This Division has a clear-cut #1 with the Philadelphia Eagles, but looking past that, it's a tough call.  How good have the Cowboys become, are the Giants too far in disarray and will Spurrier be successful?  All these questions lead to a possible 3-way tie or at least one tie along the way.  Give me the Cowboys to outshine the other 2 in this division.

Ozzymadeo - Still a sorry ass division, so the Eagles will come out on top despite playing in a shitty stadium. However, Spurrier and his Washington Seminoles will present a challenge. Or should that be Florida State Redskins?

Winner - Philadelphia Eagles (Both)

 

Ozzymadeo - If I hear one more person say the Superbowl was rigged I'll fucking scream. Either which way, the NFC West is nothing more than the NFL Chum Bucket and the St. Louis/Los Angeles/Cleveland Rams are the sharks ready to strike at the smell of bird blood (i.e. Cardinals and Seahawks). San Francisco will present a challenge up until the coin toss. It's all about the Rams.

Gallion - The Superbowl was rigged!  Ohh... sorry, Ozzy.  Ha!  My belief is that this division has the best team in football, the St. Louis Rams.  They retained most of their key players and added some talented depth to an already deep team.  Same system, same everything.  Maybe this time around they'll learn to be humble like they did when they won it with Vermeil.  The 49'ers will be tough, but I feel they're on the cusp, and haven't quite reach that plateau yet.  Seattle finally gave the ball to Alexander, but there are too many questions at QB with Dilfer out for a spell and some key losses on Defense and Special Teams.  With some serious luck, the 'Hawks could contend for the #2 spot in this Division.  The Cardinals... fuck 'em.  Contraction, anyone?

Winner - St. Louis/Los Angeles/Cleveland Rams (Both)

So you want to win some cash and a t-shirt?

 

Then join my contest.  It's simple, effortless and quick.  It starts Saturday morning and all entries will be shut off Saturday evening at midnight.  Unless I get 1 or something.  Don't let that happen!

 

On Saturday's update, we'll have an entry form set up where you pick the 4 Division Winners and the 2 Wild Cards for each Conference.  Then pick the Conference Champions and the Super Bowl Champions.  Plug in your name and e-mail and that's it.  It's that simple.  Victory could be your's!  Along with $50 and a LethalDeath.com t-shirt.  If there is a tie, I draw names from a hat.  Plus, all entries will need to be valid.  I'd rather not receive an entry in my football contest from the Pope or something.  2nd place will get just a LethalDeath.com t-shirt, and 3rd place gets 2 LethalDeath.com coasters.

 

That is all.  Have a good day.
