Very first highlight. Very similar IMHO.

He's ahead of last years pace. So he's got that going for him!

He really should have been sat for a game. Such bs.

See, there is little reason to be optimistic!

Given how long he's been in the league, it is sad. I've seen enough to be patient and cautiously optimistic. It was too bad that he wasn't able to go in the post season last year.
I just wonder how the worm will turn around here if he puts together and solid season. I don't think I could bear ...

Here in the SLC I get the Sunday ticket, which by the sounds of it is about double the price it is in Sweden. Damn!
Other than that I might hit an Iggies sports bar for the night games and have dinner. I try to get to the dome every couple of years to see a game.

Preseason is just a way to look at the young guys now. Had the Vikings won 45-0, and everyone looked great, I would have been more happy but it is what it is.

Didn't the Cowboys always look horrid, and go like 0-4 every year, they went on to win there Super Bowls?

One thing I have learned about ...
