I’m not really much of a video gamer anymore, but I’ve bought Madden at 9. Arrogant receivers
No group of athletes provide as much entertainment and excitement every game as NFL receivers. And while NBA players take bereavement leave to increase their strip club time, most of the hijinx pulled by Randy Moss, T.O., and Chad Johnson are harmless. Just don’t tell Joe Buck that.
8. Hating the Patriots is more fun than hating anyone else
Hating the Yankees just isn’t as much fun when they aren’t good. Bill Belichick is sports' biggest villain, a criminal so dirty, so surly, that childhood hated can return for even the most mature fans.
7. No more Favre!
6. The return of Pacman
Pacman Jones is the ultimate wildcard. Will the former sixth overall draft pick transform the Cowboys D into the NFL’s most explosive unit? Possibly. Will he pillage the city of

If only he was in another division…
4. Every game matters
Baseball’s endless season has its perks, but rarely does one game ever truly matter. Every week in the NFL is do or die, and you can feel the pressure from the players, coaches, and fans to win from Week 1.
3. Fantasy football > Life
It’s true. I heard a sweet new blog written two incredibly handsome gentlemen will even give you advice and observations all season long. Seriously. Check it out.
2. Devin Hester
ESPN’s Bill Simmons once wrote an article on how it’s impossible to write something interesting about Tiger Woods. I think Hester has reached that rare status. What can you really say about the guy? He’s the best specialist in NFL history, the most exciting player in the game, and really the Bears only threat to score.
1. The Bears bring
As much as I love making fun of the Cubs- and trust me, it’s like my favorite thing ever- nothing beats having our entire great city behind one force.
