I Miss Football Season

Another season has passed, and I'm here to bring you some off-season highlights and information. What a season it was in 2011. We had the threat of missing the entire season for months on end, an...

I think it makes sense to just make this an off-season blog, so I'll just focus on my predictions blog at mikeyscrystalball.blogspot.com . You can also read my work on the New York Giants blog, B...

From today is the start of the NFL season. I'll start posting my predictions over at mikeyscrystalball.blogspot.com See you there!

Michael Vick signed a 6 year, $100 million deal this week. That's amazing considering that he's in his third season back from prison, and at the start of last year he was still the backup. Then h...

That's how many days until the 2011 season kicks off. Is it just me, or is it surreal that it's really starting?

...that all of you on the east coast are safe and that your damage from the hurricane/tropical storm is minimal. Even as I write that I know that's not the case, because some photos and video I'v...

Sometimes I feel that way....when did Kerry Collins un-retire and how did he suddenly go and sign with the Titans' biggest rival, Indianapolis? Yikes. Of course, he's an insurance policy for Peyt...

We are in Week 3 of the preseason now.....which means in one week, the Week 4 preseason games will be played. That means that in two weeks, the NFL regular season kicks off. Yeah baby!

I just saw this on Yahoo Sports today, and I had a few thoughts--first, the Dolphins have an already uphill climb because of having to play a quarter of their schedule against the Pats and Jets....

Actually it's less than three weeks until the first football Sunday, but the regular season kicks off on September 8, with Packers/Saints on a Thursday night. That's in 17 days, folks. So with th...

Once again there is controversy in fantasy football land....who do you pick #1 this year? Adrian Peterson, always awesome? Chris Johnson, after a bumpy 2010? Arian Foster, who skyrockted last yea...

Some NFL owners, particularly the ones in cold-weather markets, are PUSHING BACK ON THE 18-GAME SCHEDULE that most owners eventually want. Mainly because it's freaking cold in January in most of...

About this time of year, the Favre watch usually begins. I know there was talk about him signing with the Eagles before the Eagles signed Vince Young, but nothing since. Could it be that he is st...

Here are my way too early picks for the upcoming NFL season for the postseason's division winners: NFC East: Eagles (ARGH) NFC North: Packers NFC South: Saints NFC West: Rams AFC East: Pat...

Two things struck me when I read that the Niners were bringing in Daunte Culpepper --1) that he's only 34 years old and 2) that Alex Smith is still the starter in SF. I feel like every year we re...

has started! We are underway, after several months of a black cloud hanging over the NFL. And hey, we are going to have labor peace (hopefully) for 10 years now. I cannot wait to watch some games...

As a Giants fan, I was furious that Steve Smith signed with the hated rival Eagles last night. Smith was a free agent, and was dealing with a knee injury, but the Giants had every intention of tr...

For some real football games? They start tomorrow, with five games on the slate. Okay, they are preseason game, but hey--it's football!

http://imissfootballseason.blogspot.com/2011/08/who-is-ready.html

37-year-old Derrick Mason signed with the Jets the other day, and good for him that he did that to try and win a ring--despite the fact that the Ravens have a good chance for that as well. But it...

To the Eagles' Mike Patterson, who had a seizure on the field this week and may require brain surgery. It's times like this that we're reminded a) how dangerous the game can be, and b) that it's ...

Marshall Faulk will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, and it is well-deserved. Faulk may be the greatest combination running back/pass-catcher ever, and from everything ...

They got the free agent prize of Nnamdi, and just signed Ronnie Brown. Every time I turn around, they are making another splash. Granted, I am a Giants fan, so this angers me every time I see som...

Wow, who saw that coming? After being let go by the Patriots and Vikings last season, Randy Moss was a shell of his former self with the Titans, who were themselves fledgling last year in the sec...

The big news, of course, is that Peyton Manning signed a huge contract extension. So the Colts must not be too concerned about Manning's neck injury.....Brandon Marshall's press conference yester...
