PrintMuch as I love the NBA, there's no denying that the NFL is the rampaging T-Rex among American sports leagues. Even if hoops weren't in the midst of a soul-draining lockout, our attention this week would be focused on the return of pro football and its hostile takeover of our available leisure time. With that in mind, let's kick off the week (deep into the end zone, given the new rules) with some real talk about the gridiron.
Here are a dozen questions that come to mind, some or all of which you may choose to address in the comments....
1. Who's your favorite NFL team and player?
2. Who's your least favorite NFL team and player? (For moi, it's the Vikings and Jay Cutler.)
3. Name one team who made the playoffs last year that won't this year.
4. Name one team who missed the playoffs last year that'll make it this year.
5. Who's the NFL equivalent of Kobe Bryant?
6. Who's the NFL equivalent of Derek Fisher?
7. Who's gonna win the Super Bowl?
8. Who's gonna lose the Super Bowl?
9. The Eagles' regular-season wins... over or under 11½?
10. Who will start more regular-season games, Michael Vick or Peyton Manning?
11. Which will start first: the NBA regular season or the NFL playoffs?
12. Which Laker would stand the best chance of having a career in pro football?
Feel free to throw out any others you'd like to bat around. Now tighten up your chin straps and run outta that tunnel!

Yo, who's Dashon Goldson? And what do you have against him?

He's the 49er's Free Safety.
I don’t hate him as a person but I despise him as a player. A safety should be the last line of defense and should be a player who can make a play on the ball, whether batting it down or intercepting it. Goldson fails as a last line of defense because instead of tackling properly by wrapping up the ball carrier, Goldson prefers to go for that highlight hit and instead lower his shoulders and run straight into the carrier. 3 out of 4 times he will miss and the resulting play is a huge TD for the opposing team. Also when given the opportunity to intercept the ball, he will instead wait for the opposing player to catch it and then try to knock his head off, resulting in a huge completion and 15 yd penalty when he could have just intercepted the ball. Being a 49er fan, I am just frustrated by his stupid play every weekend and while he was the starting FS last year, the team let him go to free agency where he thought he could make big bucks. But no team picked him up and the new 49er starting FS Reggie Smith got injured and the team had to resign Goldson. So I’m stuck being angry at him for another year. It’s like watching Shannon Brown dribble back and forth and settle for the 3 when you know, and he knows, that he could take it to the rim for the finish. It just doesn’t make sense.

1. Who’s your favorite NFL team and player? Buccaneers and Josh Freeman
2. Who’s your least favorite NFL team and player? Giants and the Manning family.
3. Name one team who made the playoffs last year that won’t this year.
I feel like the Seahawks are too easy of a choice, so I’m going with the Colts, think Manning is more hurt than anyone thinks.
4. Name one team who missed the playoffs last year that’ll make it this year.
Have to say the Bucs.
5. Who’s the NFL equivalent of Kobe Bryant? Going current, has to be either Brady or Manning. Guys that you hate if they are playing your team, and love if they’re your guy.
6. Who’s the NFL equivalent of Derek Fisher?
7. Who’s gonna win the Super Bowl? Out on a limb a bit, Ravens.
8. Who’s gonna lose the Super Bowl? Eagles, Andy Reid always finds a way to lose the big game.
9. The Eagles’ regular-season wins… over or under 11½? Under, but barely.
10. Who will start more regular-season games, Michael Vick or Peyton Manning? Start, Manning. Win, Vick.
11. Which will start first: the NBA regular season or the NFL playoffs. NFL playoffs, not even close.
12. Which Laker would stand the best chance of having a career in pro football? Shannon Brown as a safety. Has size, speed, hops, looks like he could mix it up. Kobe is competitive enough, but couldn’t physically take the blows. Second choice would be Artest, as a defensive end.

Missed the playoffs. KC won the AFC West.

It's been a long summer. Can't wait for football.
1. Who’s your favorite NFL team and player? Green Bay Packers (They’re the most fun to watch and the most likeable, if the 49ers ever become watchable, I’d be all over them)
2. Who’s your least favorite NFL team and player? Steelers and Jets… I don’t like Cortland Finnegan. (Andre Johnson kicked his ass)
3. Name one team who made the playoffs last year that won’t this year. Seahawks
4. Name one team who missed the playoffs last year that’ll make it this year. Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders
5. Who’s the NFL equivalent of Kobe Bryant? Peyton Manning; people have started doubting him around the same time as Kobe too.
6. Who’s the NFL equivalent of Derek Fisher? Derrick Mason (37 years old, still contributing)
7. Who’s gonna win the Super Bowl? Packers again, barring injury
8. Who’s gonna lose the Super Bowl? Patriots
9. The Eagles’ regular-season wins… over or under 11½? 12-4
10. Who will start more regular-season games, Michael Vick or Peyton Manning? Vick
11. Which will start first: the NBA regular season or the NFL playoffs NBA season
12. Which Laker would stand the best chance of having a career in pro football? Shannon Brown would be a great receiver, he’s technically still a laker, plus I think he’s a lot faster without having to dribble (he’s the slowest dribble-sprinter i’ve ever seen)

"If you’re afraid to fail, then you’re probably going to fail. You know what I mean? Fuck it." -- Kobe "Black Mamba" Bryant
1. Who’s your favorite NFL team and player? Chargers, Phillip Rivers.
2. Who’s your least favorite NFL team and player? Broncos, Jay Cutler. Eli Manning a close second.
3. Name one team who made the playoffs last year that won’t this year. Seahawks. Rams or Niners will win the division.
4. Name one team who missed the playoffs last year that’ll make it this year. Chargers.
5. Who’s the NFL equivalent of Kobe Bryant? Either Payton Manning or Tom Brady. Lean towards the latter.
6. Who’s the NFL equivalent of Derek Fisher? Meh, that’s hard. Don’t know enough football players to make a good comparison. Guess someone like Hines Ward could fit for clutch plays, but combining that with the somewhat washed up team leader is tough. Stephen Cooper?
7. Who’s gonna win the Super Bowl? Pats, as distasteful as that is.
8. Who’s gonna lose the Super Bowl? Packers.
9. The Eagles’ regular-season wins… over or under 11½? Under. Vick will get injured at some point, that offensive line has some big holes, and an offensive line coach turned defensive coordinator doesn’t inspire confidence.
10. Who will start more regular-season games, Michael Vick or Peyton Manning? Manning. Unless that neck injury is really severe, he’ll be back by Week 2 or 3. Vick will miss more than that at some point during the season.
11. Which will start first: the NBA regular season or the NFL playoffs. NBA regular season. Call me an optimist.
12. Which Laker would stand the best chance of having a career in pro football? Kobe probably could have been a solid wide receiver in his younger days. Fish is pretty compact and I could see him as a good slot receiver. Artest could be an interesting TE or DE with his build and strength. Barnes also could probably be a TE. Best is probably Brown, who would be a really interesting WR with his speed and jumping ability. Everyone else doesn’t have the build to last in the NFL. Maybe Bynum could be a weird offensive lineman if he really bulked up, but I doubt it.

So depressing that pre-season NFL is getting more press than pennant-race baseball...
… but here goes.
1. Who’s your favorite NFL team and player?
PACKERS!!!!!!!! A-ROD!!!!!!!! DJAX!!!!!!!! BEASTMODE!!!!!!!!
2. Who’s your least favorite NFL team and player?
Niners, because they pass on studs from Cal to sign busts from Furd. Also, Elway, Plunkett and Favre.
3. Name one team who made the playoffs last year that won’t this year.
Seahawks
4. Name one team who missed the playoffs last year that’ll make it this year.
Lions
5. Who’s the NFL equivalent of Kobe Bryant?
Brady. A multiple champion, and hardest worker in the league.
6. Who’s the NFL equivalent of Derek Fisher?
Considering the Saints brought him in to provide veteran leadership and guidance in the locker room, Derek Fisher.
7. Who’s gonna win the Super Bowl?
Packers. They won last year shorthanded, and they were missing A-Rod’s favorite target Jermichael Finley. Plus, Dom Capers’ defense is nasty.
8. Who’s gonna lose the Super Bowl?
Tough one. I want to say the Patriots… but somehow I think the Jets will break through. Completely gut feeling.
9. The Eagles’ regular-season wins… over or under 11½?
Under, but not by much. The OL is improved, and signing Asomugha will help the front seven on defense. But, everything they are doing revolves around Vick, and it will be tough for him to replicate last year, especially with the added pressure of his new contract.
10. Who will start more regular-season games, Michael Vick or Peyton Manning?
Manning. If he sits, the Colts are stuck with Curtis Painter. The Eagles can turn to Vince Young.
11. Which will start first: the NBA regular season or the NFL playoffs?
The NBA regular season. The NBA owners dug themselves a huge hole, and I think they are just as likely, or even more likely, to cave in as they are to engage in a protracted stalemate.
12. Which Laker would stand the best chance of having a career in pro football?
Ron Artest, as a blocking tight end. His stint on Dancing With The Stars will result in drastically improved footwork, which will help in the NFL, NBA or London.
