NFL 2009-10 Season Predictions

The 2009-10 season of the National Favreless League looks very promising. Aside from overrated whiteouts who don't know when to shut up and just do their jobs(Owens, and that insane loon playing for Cincinnati), There's really nothing but good things to look forward to. That is, if my minds eye is broadcasting in Cristal clear HD.

Donovan McNabb won't please Eagles fans.
This is a pretty easy prediction to make. Philadelphia sports are a different breed(no Vick pun intended here folks, this isn't even about him.) Anything short of a championship is seen as total failure to them. Normally, this would be seen as fanatics being "passionate" and "wanting their organization to exceed expectations."

Philly sports fans are not normal though. Even when their football team wins, McNabb gets destroyed by people who call local radio shows there. I don't get how a future NFL Hall of Fame candidate manages to deal with this excessive criticism. His meditation skills must be epic, because he had a chance to bail and go to a team that has fans who recognize his talents.

Number of fines: 12+.
Most of this years fines will be related to the National Football League's drug policy. About four or so will be twitter related, because NFL coaches and team owners are overly sensitive and can't take a joke.

Case in point: Antonio Cromartie was charged a $2500 fine by the San Diego Chargers for making fun of bad training camp food. Seemed pretty tame for a twitter update. He also(jokingly, mind you) commented about said horrid food being the reason for that teams lackluster post season performances in recent years. NFL Tweets are serious business!

T.O. and Chad are two peas...
Chad Johnson had his name changed to Chad "Ocho Cinco" last year, and finally gets to wear that name on the back of his uniform this season. I predict that his antics will be ignored by most fans unless Cincinnati wins more than 4 games this year.

Terrell Owens is now the most famous person to ever set foot in Buffalo without pulling out a mat 8 seconds later and retracing their steps to get where they really wanted to go. The Bills organization is doomed.T.O. is just as much of a prima-donna now as he was in Philly, Dallas and San Francisco. Trent Edwards is next on Owens' QB Hit List. I feel sorry for optimistic Bills fans. They deserve better(maybe.)

Super Bowl Match up: Panthers vs. Patriots.
Steve Smith will return from his shoulder injury, and like always, dazzle Carolina fans with his superior athleticism. Jake Delhomme will refrain from trying to break a Brett Favre interception record long enough for them to get to the Super bowl once more.

Roman numerals cannot represent the importance of this match up. Bill Belichick is a well documented bad dresser, and cheater who probably screwed my Panthers out of winning Super Bowl XXXVIII. Seeing as Roger Goodell won't revoke their victory, and give that trophy to it's rightful owners, a rematch where the good guys finally win is the only way to make things right.

Everybody with a brain knows refs helped the Pats get to that almost perfect season record of 18 - 1 a few years ago. Why not make an assist for North Carolina's Football team for once? Patriots getting embarrassed equals ratings. Ed Hochuli, make this happen.
