Brain Fertilizer

They did look dominating last night.

Impressive.

The thing that stymies me is: the preseason is absolutely illusory and useless as a predictor of success. Except when it isn't. So I am getting my hopes up, but I don't really want to talk smack. Yet.

Sorry, but it's FINALLY the Redskins' year to win the NFC. I hope. Next year at the latest ;)

No, I'd wait a bit to start talking smack. Pre-season isn't meaningful enough to hang your hat on--but the first four games of the season are vital.

That said, damned if your boys didn't look like world beaters last night.

I like the Chiefs, and living in Philly, came to like Dick Vermeil. The Chiefs might have what it takes this year.

I have less hope for the Iggles.

But no matter -- I'm actually a Jets fan. So at this point I'm mostly scar tissue.

Lenise,
Ummmm...the line was a joke. KC can't play Denver in the Super Bowl...they are both AFC. So Kansas City absolutely doesn't pose any threat to your team's chances to win the NFC.
ZB,
We'll see. The important thing is that unless we have injury problems and collapse, it's going to be a fun season seeing how far they go.
IB Bill,
My condolences for being a Jets fan. Pennington is going to rock this year, I think.

Fine! Make me look like a stupid girl. I thought there was something fishy about that, but I KNEW Denver was AFC. Anyway, it was nice to see Marty Schottenheimer get treated well somewhere (KC), and I've had a bit of a soft spot in my heart for the Chiefs since then. Art Modell was totally unclassy to him, as was Mr. Snyder, sadly.

BTW, I loved the old post about the cat and the mug. Nobody ever comments on my kitty photos, which is hard to fathom, since the kitties (especially mine) are so cute.
