Normally I am not interested in the NFL at all. I'm interested in college football. However, there are several headlines this year that I will be paying close attention to - a top five if you will.
Here they are, in descending order.
1. Micheal Vick - Will any team take a chance on Vick? How much of his athleticism will be gone, if any? If signed, will PETA and other groups protests him at every stadium? Has he changed? My opinion is no, he hasn't changed. He probably won't run dog fights anymore, but I'm sure he'll still run around with suspect people and do questionable things. I'm sure a You Tube video (or some other story) will surface showing Vick with some of his buddies, "makin it rain", mouthing words to the camera, popping their shirts, or using some thugged out sign language to display their home state or city. Go get 'em Vick.
2. Tom Brady - Will he come back as good as ever or will his knee injury prevent him playing at the highest level? I've read articles recently that question his toughness, and I'm curious if these are just hyperbole or something actually worth talking about.
3. T.O - Will it be the same old song and dance, only this time in Buffalo? Is he even relevant anymore?
4. Shawne Merriman - Here's a guy that not a lot of folks are talking about right now, but will be coming back after a major injury - torn knee ligaments. Due to his own stupidity he tried to play last year, against Doctors recommendations, rather than forgoing the season to try and recuperate. I'm hoping for a "told you so" opening game for Merriman, where his knee gets bashed in and it ends his career. Once that happens he'll have plenty of time to contemplate the stupidity of his actions.
5. Matthew Stafford - There's no way he will be able to live up to his contract. That being said, I'm curious to see how he does.
