NFL 2011 season

[CountDeMoney]

I'm just killing time until Ravens time.  But the CFL is far more entertaining than the cesspool that is NCAA football.  Maybe it's because I never went to a US college, but I can't bring myself to give a fuck about any of their games.

I like the CFL a lot, but NCAA is perfectly entertaining in its own right.

Perhaps it's all the fraternity roadtrips I took.

Well, we all know Neil's a precious little unique snowflake.

I think it's mostly a scheduling thing.  In the past 10 years, my work schedule has generally made it easier for me to watch college games on Saturday afternoon than pro games on Sunday.  A few years of that, and my interest in the NFL just naturally went down.

Meh, there are also competitive and dramatic angles as well.  The NCAA is simply more fun football.

Only if you care about it to begin with.  And competitive angles?  When all of the teams try as hard as they can to schedule the least competitive opponents possible?

It makes it even better when the Appalachian states of the world knock of the Michigans.

That, and your team sucks.

??  Have I even ever expressed which NFL team is "my team" here?

I just assumed it was the Detroit Lions.

They'd be better than 'my' team.

A team of 11 retards would be better than 'my' team.

And then "the team that lost to Appalachian State" routs Notre Dame two weeks later.

Neil doesn't understand the college game, so naturally he doesn't like it.  Frankly, I think its a bit too complex for him.  I think he is smart to stick to things that are easy to figure out.

It still hurts, doesn't it? Lashing out like that won't make it any better.  There, there. There, there.

Ravens open as 3-point favorite over Steelers

The Ravens are a three-point favorite for their Sept. 11 season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to the Las Vegas Hilton.

The Ravens have won six of their past eight home games against the Steelers. But Ravens coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Joe Flacco are 0-6 against Ben Roethlisberger.

The pointspread isn't surprising. No team has been favored by more than three points in the past four meetings. Last year, the favorite in this AFC North rivalry won only once (in the divisional playoff game).

Since I have nothing to look forward to, I hope Ray Ray plants an American flag through Rapistburger's skull after sacking him on that day.
