This is my favorite time of the year. All teams have title aspirations. All fans believe this might be "the year". Bring it on.
Some thoughts on recent topics -
- Randy Moss. I'm OK with this. The Pats knew they weren't going to resign Moss, Minnesota desperately needed a receiver and at least they got something in return. I will miss Randy. Despite how the season ended, 2007 was one of the most magical NFL years I have ever witnessed and Randy was central to that success. Now if Brett can pay more attention to the field that to his privates - Moss will probably see a lot more balls than he would have staying in New England.
- Speaking of Favre. WTF?? Who does that? It sounds like the type of thing my buddy would do at a wedding with one of those throw away cameras. If this turns out to be true, I can't think of anything more embarrassing for someone at the end of a HOF career.
- Congrats to Roy Halladay. Though I wish the Red Sox could have gotten him away from Toronto, it was a nice story to see a guy who toiled for years on teams that just had no prayer of making the post-season get a chance to shine. He is a world class pitcher who has always had the "But" attached to him because he had never been post-season tested. Should he power the Phils to another title he will cement his spot in the echelon of the great pitchers of the era.
- Finally - a shout-out to loyal reader Boston Pobble. I was late with the birthday wishes but just wanted her to know that she is missed in Beantown and that her birthday last year, and number 35 ;), were a blast.
