Brian McIntyre, the fan who runs a football blog
that scooped a lot of the p/s picks ...
and who self-effacingly "boasts" a 48% accuracy rating
against the spread ... sees this in his bowl of entrails:
Here are my (sure to be wrong) predictions for the 2009 NFL Season.

As of 2:30 pm Wednesday,
the roster displayed on Oakland's website, linked by NFL.com,
carries Richard Seymour
(with no jersey number assigned yet.)
Yesterday it didn't.
Snyder's entire majority ownership of Six Flags
likely to be wiped out in bankruptcy filing.
Maybe a little economizing to come
in celebrity signings?

According to Pro Football Weekly, the Chiefs have released the “bulk” of their scouting staff.
“Most of the Kansas City’s existing staff knew they were on borrowed time when [Scott] Pioli was hired ....,” the report states, “but they were kept on to at least get the club through draft...
CNBC just announced that the NFL has expanded its 10% RIF to 15%, or 169 jobs.
Also said the 32 clubs have laid off about 200, overall.
Hard times all over.
Boston Sports Media Watch has wound up its approval ratings.
You'll be glad to learn that the guy you want to lose ... did lose.
On the very bottom of the list of - what was it? - 53 sports media personalities
... with only a 12% approval rating.
Also, Shaughnessy finished 5th from the...
Not pimping for either of these candidates ... and
this is a football, not a political, post.
An Australian apparently working for one of the Dem campaigns sent this back to Oz:
"I'm in 18A out of Reagan to Dallas, where we will play our own Superbowl with Hillary on March 4.
"This won't...
Still only 52 names on the roster.
Too late to bring in any outsider ... even such an "insider" as Chad Brown.
So who is going to be honored
by promotion from the practice squad?
My money is still on Bam
... with Santonio the second choice.
An earlier thread originally deleted it
"for obvious security reasons".
Now, everyone in Arizona knows, so

Union-Tribune newspaper has this to say (in part):
Ay, and there's the rub about Moss. How will he choose to play tomorrow?
Maybe the frigid weather or the Chargers' supreme interceptors in the secondary can conspire to shut down the Brady-to-Moss connection tomorrow. Taking Moss' track...
Not everyone who posts here has noticed that, during the past off-season,

Over 100 universities play big-time football.
Most play 11 games per season ... while none play more than 14 times.
Their schedules almost always purposely include creampuffs ... to furnish easy W's.
No attempt at parity.
Hawaii was the only one of those programs remaining undefeated...
Normally in New England, today i was driving across northwestern Arizona.
On a map, if you put a finger on Phoenix ... another on Vegas ... and a third on Salt Lake,
somewhere in the middle would be Seligman.
The true middle of nowhere.
But in Seligman, AZ is Lilo's Westside Cafe - a...
It could happen, of course.
Colts ... Ravens ... Eagles
all had a shot.
Giants are as good as they are.
But if the Patriots lose Saturday,
can you even conceive of them
failing to win the Lombardi?
I can't.
Their focus and determination

On PatriotsDaily.com, Bill Barnwell of Football Outsiders posts the first part of a 2-part treatise on
injuries. It's all data, all day ... for serious fans only ... and you've probably never seen it
done like this before.
Out-take:

Scouting the next foe, i'm just making my maiden voyage to GangGreen.
