First look 2010… AFC North
Jun 16th
Being my first ‘Division’ prediction, ever, I figured I might as well do one for the division I know most about! The AFC North is usually an entertaining and exciting division. The matches are played well, and are usually close. Rivalry is fierce and the bouts are relentless. It’s always difficult predicting without seeing the four pre-season matches, but I’m going to give it a go.
More Free Agency Moves and Signings
Mar 15th
To start with we’re back to New York. Less than a week after releasing Thomas Jones (who has since signed with the Cheifs) the Jets have added LaDanian Tomlinson to the line-up. He’s got a fair deal to be a backup and although I think Jones was a better option, they’ve got LDT for a lot less than Jones was due. It would essentially be a crime not to use this as an excuse to post Electric Glide as unlike running backs that never gets old.
Carrying on with aging running backs, Larry Johnson is now a Redskin. He’s signed a surprisingly sensible 3 year deal that makes things interesting and has certainly improved the squad. If we can sort the line out, we might be able to actually make some yards now. Will Montgomery has resigned in this area.
Johnson has 2 years on Portis, but considerably less mileage. Hopefully he can contribute.

Sorry, more Brett Favre news. Get used to it though it looks set to continue for the season, and probably for the next phase of his retirement.
Favre Said - “I may not finish the year. If you would have asked me my first year if I would finish I’d have said, ‘I may not,”’ Favre said. “No one thought I’d play 18 straight years without missing a game, me included. I have no idea what’s going to happen. ”
Not really big news, he ‘might’ get injured; he ‘might’ have a week off? It made the headlines though, so I am just passing it on.
Tuesday’s NFL News Round-up
Sep 8th
It looks like it is quarterback news day today…
Detroit Lions
This is the news I was itching to see – Matthew Stafford is the Lions starting quarterback. It’s not that I have anything against Daunte Culpepper, it’s just that on a personal level I want to see what Stafford can do and how he progresses through the season.
From the Lions point of view I think it is the right choice. It is a symbol of a fresh start, and that is something the whole of Detroit need right now. 2008 saw the team and the citys biggest industry on its knees.
I am very tempted to pick a Lions win in this weeks predictions, but I think that is coming more from the heart than the head.

A friend sent me this book a while back, knowing that I like American Football. Two things, however, have meant that it’s been lumped on my bookcase in “the stack”. Firstly, it’s by John Grisham. Whilst I enjoyed some of his earlier stuff, his work is mainly the litary equivilant to a bowl of Doritos: it’s fine when you’re eating it, but has no nourishment value whatsoever. And secondly, it describes itself as “a heart-warming tale”. Yeuch.
First Look… AFC North
Jun 22nd
Gah! Time is getting on and I’ve still not finished these… I’d better buck my ideas up.
So… It’s easy to think of the AFC North as Pittsburgh’s division, but the Ravens and the Bengals have won it within the last five years, and the Browns… well, the Browns haven’t been so good but have made the playoffs this decade.
