Struggling Mets Combine To Form Carlos Voltron

I am a bad, bad blogger. One day, I'll get really into this. Until then... I hope this cracks someone up as much as it did me.

2008 NFL Predictions

2008 Football

I am horrible at this blogging stuff. I am trying to get my ass back in gear, and in a big way right now.

When I emailed/MySpaced/Facebooked all my friends about starting a blog, I said it was mostly going to be about music, and I'll probably sneak in a few rants about this NFL season, which begins tonight. Here is my first football rant, and it is a huge one, as it is my predictions for the 2008 season, including regular season standings and post-season outcome. I was planning on including my thoughts and some figures to back up these predictions, but I thought that would be boring to read (though really fun for me to type).

Just know that I am serious about these predictions, and of course I'm not 100% sold that this is exactly how the season is going to turn out. In fact, I am about 98% sure that this is not even close to how it will turn out. But to the best of my knowledge, after all the football reading and thinking I've done this summer, this is how I see things panning out in the NFL in 2008.

Here we go now.
