Why? who wants to pay 80 bucks to watch 2 quarters of rookie tryouts, or adrian peterson carry the ball one time. its suppossed to be unexciting though. thank god no one got hurt. yet. i cant belive if you go on craigslist people are selling tickets for the next game against the vikings for 80 bucks a piece.

I hate preseason football so much. It's more boring than Arena Football highlights on Sportscenter. Well that totally unexciting. I hate preseason football so much.

And Neal, you know how passionate I am about my beloved Ravens. Just going down the schedule, I think we go 2-4 in the division, and beat the Dolphins, Raiders, Skins, and Eagles. Lose to HOU, IND, JAX, DAL, NYG, TEN. So I dont think we will have the long losing streak in the middle of the season. It'll be 10 scattered losses. Most i think will be close games but DAL, and INDY will probably kill us (40 something - less than 14 something). I'm going with 6-10 based on last year, since I dont think we have improved in the areas we needing improving in. Flacco wont pay off til next year probably. We have no new threats at receiver. Mason is sure handed, but not a deep threat, and when Clayton, and Williams, or Figures goes deep, no one can hit em with it (i.e.Boller). I give Heap til week 4 to be out indefinantly again, and the O-line went from bad to worse with the absence of JO. The X-Factors which will give us the 2 extra wins will be the new coach, (cause anyone can manage a game better than Billick could), Troy Smith who I think will ultimatly start adds the mobile element, and he's smarter with the football. And Ray Rice. If Willis stays healthy and the Ravens go with this tandem backfield thing, then who knows how well they can do. Jacksonville uses it well, and they compare simalarly to the ravens. Not a great QB, not great recievers, stout hard hitting defense, and great coaching. Jax made the playoffs, so who knows. I say 2 extra wins because that win against PIT in week 17 doesnt count. It was handed to us. we shoulda been 4-12. so 6-10, but I hope the Ravens can prove me wrong. a lot. p.s. Antwan Barnes is going to be the next big star on the D. Dont ask me why, but from what I saw in his little playing time last year, and with him getting to play 1st string with Suggs holding out, he's gonna rise to the occasion, and be a household name by next year. whew...long post, havent talked football in a while. my bad.
