Is American Football's Pre-Season as Exciting as the Regular Season?

Lionel is good to be sure, but I think Cristiano Ronaldo has had some of the more stylish goals this past year in the EPL, though I think Fernando Torres looks to be coming into his own and should have a good year again for Liverpool.

Cristiano Ronaldo's problem I think is he thinks a bit too much of himself. But he does make good passes too at times.

I miss watching Zidane. He had such flair and vision. No wonder the French loved him.

I miss watching Zidane. He had such flair and vision. No wonder the French loved him.

Unfortunately I think he will be always remembered for this:


His last moment as a player on a pitch. A tragic endnote to a good career.

the colts and bills game will be a fun one to watch, especially with all that snow

It seems Brett is now a Jet. Wonder how long it will be before he retires again.

This was first wondered in 1992, when Brett was traded from the Falcons to the Packers. Favre was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the hip and doctors recommended failing his physical and nullifying the trade. Packers GM Ron Wolf over ruled them and did the trade anyway.

Favre's first pass as a Falcon (1991): Interception returned for a TD
Favre's first pass as a Packer (1992): (-7) yard loss to Favre (his pass was deflected back to him by a defensive lineman; this was also his first NFL completion)
Favre's first pass as a Jet (2008): 5 yard gain to Laveranues Coles
Favre's first pass as a Viking (2009): (-1) yard loss to Chester Taylor

Just noticing that one of the threads in Philosophy is "Does a year exist?"

Obviously not. Or at least it's irrelevant if it does exist.
