Your teams to watch out for next season...

[Charlie Brown]

lol, just got my copy of USA Today Sports Weekly out of the mailbox, and guess who they're touting on the cover the potential surprise team of the year? the browns. . . .

God, I hate the media and there bandwagoners.

dawgfan, i hereby officially dub you an angry young man. . . . you are impossible to please! you don't like it if anyone says anything bad about the browns, but, uhhh. . . . . you don't like it if anyone says anything GOOD about them either!




make up your mind, you can't have it both ways. . . .

True, you caught me.

I don't like it if anyone says anything bad about the Browns. That really angers me. But I also dislike it when people go waaay overboard with the bandwagon jumping. Last year USATODAY would have never said the things they said about the Browns in that article. I like media that is indifferent. They don't say anything bad or good. They just say something. I would be ok if they said. "The Browns look like a well put together team". That would be ok. But for them to say "The Browns are likely going to be the surprise team this year. Much like the Bears last season who went from 5-11 to 11-5 or the Giants who went from 6-10 to 11-5." It gets annoying because these people that are saying those things are talking out of their behind. They will jump all over the Browns for failing to do that. Then if the Browns do succeed like that then everybody in the media is going to say "see I believed in them!" It's horrible. I hate the bandwagoning media. The year the Patriots first won their superbowl everyone was against them saying the team sucked and that Bellicheck was doing the same thing he did in Cleveland. Then they win and suddenly everyone is a Patriot fan? That's not my bag.

I wouldn't sleep on the the Redskins and the Cowboys.

Many moons ago, Bledsoe took a New England team to a Superbowl under Bill's watch. I know that was a decade ago, but it happened. And T.O. is one of if not the best receiver in the game today. Say what you want about his locker room antics, he can play some football.

Washington had a tremendous offseason and they still have a hall of fame head coach and Clinton Portis. Plus they went into the playoffs last year and was a gutsy-Gruden call away from possibly being 11-5. You say Mark Brunell and I say Mark Ripien. Brunell, in all of his seasons, has only had 1 year where he threw more INTs than TDs, and the Jags went to the conference championship that year.

That division has the chance of being elite if Philly gets it straightened out.

Ill say...the raiders and the cardinals

Just as you said with Bledsoe, a DECADE AGO. He's old now, and he isn't what he once was. You also mentioned what Brunell did with the Jags, which was quite some time ago as well, I don't put much stock into teams that have old QBs who perform averagely.

Cardinals - no more blackouts

Living in Denver I guess I don't realize what it's like in some other cities, Phoenix for example. They have had blackouts on the majority of their home games, until now it seems. Anyone been to their new stadium?

Cardinals - new stadium, better team?

Buccaneers
Dolphins
Panthers
Jaguars
Patriots
Broncos (outsider looking in)


Oh, the 49ers will be better than advertised.
