Football is back baby!

I wish everyone luck with #YourTeam unless they are playing #MyTeam.

Additionally - #DakSpatFirst.

That said it seems like the league will be making professionalism a point of emphasis and that has already generated some friction. Between that and the importance (or lack there of) of Dak triggering Carter, well some culture war fodder has popped out if anyone wants to go to the other thread for that.

Some things I'm looking forward to:

-Just how bad the Saints are going to be.

-Finding out if we get Good 49ers or Bad 49ers.

-Which team will win the NFCE since the Eagles are curse ineligible.

-How much of a shit show the NFCN will be.

-Will Chiefs performance have an impact on Swift's relationship.

Additionally - #DakSpatFirst.

Dak spit on the ground, and then Carter spit directly and intentionally onto Dak’s chest. I don’t think these two actions are comparable.

Just how bad the Saints are going to be.

I know Tyler Shough looked pretty all-over-the-place during the pre-season (bad enough, apparently, that the team decided to name the demonstrable terrible Spencer Rattler as the Week 1 starter) but I’m not ready to bury him before I’ve seen him in regular-season action. Their offense has a lot of very capable players, the performance of many of whom will of course come down to health. (Will Chris Olave end up with another concussion? If so, will that be the career-ender? Will Shaheed and Kamara hold up for a whole season or close to it?) The rest of their team is so devoid of talent, though, that it might not matter.

Finding out if we get Good 49ers or Bad 49ers.

Apparently CMC has quietly ended up on the Did Not Practice list as Sunday approaches. My Brian Robinson fantasy stock appears to be growing in value before the season even starts.

Which team will win the NFCE since the Eagles are curse ineligible.

Speaking of fantasy football, my Jayden Daniels ownership in my dynasty league promises to pay many dividends. If that team can just put a functional receiver corps around him that isn’t just Terry McLaurin, that team could get really scary.

How much of a shit show the NFCN will be.

All depends on how JJ McCarthy turns out, and if Jordan Love is as good as the Packers clearly believe he is, seeing as they were willing to trade away two consecutive first-round picks.

Will Chiefs performance have an impact on Swift's relationship.

I have to admit that Kelce is the most formidable competition I’ve yet faced for her affections. Lot of staying power. I need him to have a humiliating season — not only because I’m a Chargers fan, but also if I want to have any chance at her moving forward.

Congratulations Hoff, every team that has won a game in Brazil has won the super bowl that season. It's their year.
