You know you’re desperate for the NFL season to start when …

… you get excited about pre-season games.

The Raiders beat the Eagles last night 16-10. It wasn’t one of the most well-played games ever, that’s for sure, but hey – it was football :D

The Panthers first pre-season game will be Saturday here vs. Buffalo. Game time is 7:30.

More: Speaking of sports, lady readers of this blog should enjoy this link to Fox Sports’ Top 10 pretty boys list – I will say that I’m highly disappointed, though, that they didn’t include pix of each one. Oh, and how the heck did Tom Brady only make it to the ten slot? Should have been ranked at least in the top five, IMO …

One guy I would have added to the list, even though there’s no way he could have been considered ‘pretty’ or ‘metrosexual’ enough to be on it: Denver QB Jake Plummer – with the beard and mustache, of course. This is a good shot of him, but the beard needs to be trimmed up a bit.

    Ooh! It hadn’t occurred to me ’til now that we will have a falling out over football. I haven’t seen a schedule yet, but I know the Bears would just love to meet up with the Panthers once again. Reports are that our D hasn’t gotten over the humiliation, which is no surprise.

  2. Hmph, no Peyton Manning on that list? What were they thinking?! :(

    ST – FWIW, bidders over at http://www.tradesports.com has the Black Cats as the favorites in their division at 54, with the Falcons second at 25.

    Way oversimplified explanation: about 54 percent of those with an opinion feel the Panthers will win, with 25 percent picking the Dirty Birds.
