Urban, I've been a Seahawks fan since 1976. I knew you were a Broncos fan way back before DF from the old HoFo days.
Anyway, the last few years I've gotten a little tin hatted during pre season because, other than the Jets, the team that NFL Network talks up the most during pre season seems to win the Super Bowl. So far this season they seem to want to give the ring to the Skins. Yes every other sentence is about Manzell or Manning but there's almost a "wink wink" when they talk about the Skins. Last year it was like that with the Seahawks, the year before the Ravens because of Ray Lewis last season. It was like they handed them the trophy when Ray announced his retirement.
I hope the Hawks r repeat but I believe this is the year of the Niners finally getting over the top. I look for Dallas to once again wow us with their mediocrity and the sleeper team in the NFL being the Rams if Sams doesn't turn his orientation into a media circus, distracting the team. In the AFC I don't see Denver going back, don't see Manzell being the savior of the Browns, and see the Pats losing to San Francisco in the big dance and the Dolphins being the sleeper .
Support Our Troops!!!
