I LOVE AARON RODGERS!

I am the newest Aaron Rodgers fan! Kick Favre's ass!! I just turned on KFAN in Minneapolis and they all think the Vikings are a shoe in for the SUPER BOWL!! I'm serious!!! Brett Favre is a piece of you-know-what and he just needs go 'retire'! GO PACK GO*!

*just for the games when they play Brett Favre and the Vikings*

GO AWAY!!!!!!!

I HATE BRETT FAVRE! He needs to go to Mississippi, live on his farm and just go away. You know what, he's going to sign with the Vikings for one year and we're going to have to go through this crap all over again next year. Stop it. You're never going to win a Super Bowl again. You can't play like you used to. You will have more INT's than you will have TD's. If you want the camera spotlight on you all of the time, go on a reality show. Just stop creating news when you are no longer news worthy. GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give Them Some Time

On Saturday the Kansas City Chiefs lost their first preseason game of the year to the Houston Texans 16-10. So what? It's preseason.

This is a team that has won a grand total of six regular season games over the last two years. This is a team that has completely overhauled their staff, their coaches and the most important player on the field. Give them some time. Scott Pioli is the new GM, Todd Haley is the new head coach and Matt Cassel is the new QB.

Will this complete change of regime translate to a playoff season after winning two games last year? I doubt it. So Chiefs fans need to relax and enjoy the season for what it is . . . a TRUE rebuilding year.

Chiefs fans have had that excuse for years. 'It's a rebuilding year.' Those words drive me insane. It means fans are not expecting anything from their team. They are prepared for a bad year. And how many rebuilding years can you have in a row before you realize that you're team is not going to win.

But, in fact, this really is a rebuilding year because if you have that much change over in your program, then there will undoubtedly be some growing pains. So, this year, accept the growing pains and look at the hopefull years that could come for the boys in Arrowhead.

PS - I'll throw this out there - the playoffs are NOT out of the question. Look who the Chiefs have to battle for that playoff spot. A) Al Davis' Oakland Raiders - they will never be good until Al Davis is gone. B) The Denver Broncos - did you see their off season? Exactly. C) The San Diego Chargers - this is the team that the Chiefs will have to beat and I don't think they will be able to . . . this year.

Full Pads

This week the Nebraska football team began practicing in full pads and today they started their first two-a-day. I think that it is safe to say that the new culture of Nebraska football is in place and the foundation has been paved.

A few years ago, it came out that during the season the team quite often weren't practicing in full pads. Everybody was scratching their heads. But now, most fans expect to hear that the team is all geared up and getting at it on the practice field.

Whenever I hear the coaching staff speak, one of the most often used words that is thrown out there is 'PHYSICAL'. Coach Pelini and his staff have built into the system that pretty schemes alone are not going to win games. Hitting hard and putting your opponent on their butt is needed to rack up the wins. As Coach Hawkins reminded us a few years ago 'this is Division I football'. And nothing says that this is a man's game more than strapping up the pads, hitting people and practicing during the week like you're under the lights on Saturday.

Once again . . . welcome back football season. It's been too long.

Unfortunate Loss

We found out yesterday that Nebraska's potential back-up QB Kody Spano was injured with a torn ACL. It's the same ACL that he tore just a few months ago. That is unfortunate news for Kody Spano, but the question is what will happen with the QB position behind Zac Lee.

I hate to say this after a player was injured, but I think this could be a very good thing for the team. The competition will narrow down. The potential backups will get more reps at practice. They SHOULD be better prepared now.

Now all eyes turn to Cody Green and Latravis Washington to see which one will step up, and try to earn the spot as the no. 2 QB in case the worse case scenario happens and Zac Lee gets hurt. Which one will step up and fight harder for the chance to be the QB for the future of the team.

All I can say is . . . THANK GOD FOOTBALL IS HERE!!!!

Welcome Back Old Friend!

It's back! Football season is upon us!

Last night I turned on the TV and saw something that I haven't seen since January! I saw two NFL football teams on the field playing LIVE. That was awesome. The Bills and the Titans, decked out in retro uni's (which was great to see) played in the Hall of Fame Game and kicked off the preseason for the NFL.

50 miles down the road from Omaha, the Nebraska football team began their fall practices as they get ready for their September 5th opening game against Florida Atlantic at Memorial Stadium.

Get the beer cold, get the dip ready, make the imprint of your butt on you favorite recliner because right around the corner we will be watching football players play games that actually count for something.

It's like seeing an old friend that you haven't seen in 7 months. Welcome old friend. Sit down. Can I get you anything? I've missed you.

Fantasy Football!!

My name is Brian Delehant and I play fantasy football.

I love fantasy football. One of the things that I start to look forward to once August hits us is draft day. Here's some reminders for your fantasy football draft.

1) You have to schedule a day for your draft. This part is NEVER easy. You have 8 to 16 teams (or maybe more) and that means you have 8 to 16 schedules that you have to coordinate to determine a time when you can all get together. Good Luck.

2) You need a place to hold your draft. Do you go to a house? Do you go to a bar? You need beer, you need snacks and most importantly NO KIDS (team owners need to focus. You don't see any kids running around in the war room during the NFL draft, do you?).

3) You need to speak loud AND turn up your hearing aids. There is nothing more annoying than getting to the 6th round and having somebody draft a player that was taken in the 2ND ROUND.

4) Be prepared. Don't get to the draft and ask a fellow manager to look off their sheets. Do your homework, get your own magazines and be ready. Everyone else is, you should too.

5) And finally, TALK SMACK. Everybody can do this on the day of the draft, because you haven't lost yet. In your head, your team is made up of nothing but all stars and you're going to run the table and make your opponents look silly. That is until game one when you lose 115-25.

Let the games begin!

Funny!!

I'm sorry, I know that I'm a 28 year old guy, but this is funny. On Sunday at the Buick Open, Tiger Woods was on the 18th fairway waiting take his second shot on the hole and this happened:



That's funny. For the golfers out there, the next time you are out with your boys and one of them is right in the middle of their backswing, drop one and see what happens. I bet you'll when the hole.
