Geoff Grace Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 GIMME AN F!!! No, this is not a Woodstock or Country Joe And The Fish thread. It's a notice that the bookstores are flooded with 2003 football magazines, and the NFL preseason kicks off in three weeks! There's an electricity in the air... I think it's about time for our esteemed moderator to start the 2003 Football thread! http://www.packersproshop.com/images/products/20f.jpeg Best, Geoff P.S. FWIW, Dave started last season's Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?! thread on 07-11-2002, one year ago today.

sbrock1san.rr.com Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 It's not that I don't want to get excited, it just seems like the Superbowl was played last month or something. I kind of long for the "good old days" when there was a shorter season and a shorter pre-season. Every game meant more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Grace Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 Thanks Dave! Steve, you're right - the seasons are longer than they used to be and there are more games now. On the other hand, one of the reasons I prefer football to other sports is that, even with a 16 game season, there is still a lot more riding on each game than in gazillion game sports such as baseball, basketball, hockey, etc. For me, the half year between the Super Bowl and the first preseason game is long enough. To each, his own... Best, Geoff My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpel Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Originally posted by TinderArts: Is this the year for the "Skins? You mean the Washington Jetskins? I highly doubt it. Sure, maybe their defense will finally live up to its billing and its payroll, but I see little hope for a consistent offense there, and I predict that Spurior is already wearing out his welcome. Of course, I'm a Giants fan Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 This is the year that Belichick reinvents the wheel again and the Pats scramble everyones eggs one more time en route to their second ring in three years!

Even a bit too long, IMO...it's not like the NBA/NHL, which have about 6 weeks of off-season... I am SO ready for some football! First two pre-season games: Saturday, Aug. 2 -- American Bowl (Tokyo, Japan) NY Jets vs. Tampa Bay Monday, Aug. 4 -- Pro Football Hall of Fame Game (Canton, Ohio) Green Bay vs. Kansas City Yeah, baby - bring it on! http://a712.g.akamai.net/7/712/225/20020723200504/www.nflshop.com/images/products-nfl/large/F987-RA_l.jpg dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intended that this thread be a request for you to start a football thread, not become the 2003 NFL thread itself. IMO, you should have that honor. So, I agree ... Bring It On!!!

Are the Browns committed to Holcomb?The talke is that neither one will be satisfied in the backup roll. While most fans support Couch, the punk minority (the bottle throwers, etc.) are pushing hard for Holcomb and are ready to ditch Couch. For a while there was talk of him being traded to Dallas.

Will they be in the NFC or the AFC?Yeah, they'll be an NFC cellar team just like the old days of LA football So I presume you're talking about the Rams' final five years in LA rather than the 25 years beforehand in which they made the playoffs 16 times and had only five losing seasons.* Addendum: Y'know, that's another reason I prefer to watch NFL football over other pro sports - there are no incessantly, predictably, boringly dominant franchises. In other words, each good or great team in the NFL has also spent a fair amount of time defining the word "suck." This makes for both a more equitable and exciting league, IMO. Best, Geoff * Actually, the Rams had six losing seasons during that period if you count the strike season of '82 in which replacements/scabs drove the "Rams" to last place. (IIRC, the real Rams won the first two games of that season, while the replacements lost the rest.) I prefer to pretend that year never happened!
