Are You Ready For Some RefinedHype Football? (Preview & Bonus Podcast)

I don’t think it’s acceptable to see a man cry (Unless they bash your quarterback.) However, given that we all suffered a scare of no football this season, I’ll allow Rick Ross “Tears Of Joy” as we hear Hank Williams Jr’s majestic “ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!”

Kicking off the season with two of the NFC’s finest, Aaron Rodgers will wear his WWF Intercontinental belt as he steps up against the New Orleans Saints and their newly acquired Heisman winning RB. Since there has been a copious amount of hectic trades, injuries, and drama in the few weeks that we’ve had football, allow me to help you out by previewing each NFL team this season in one sentence or less.

Also, make sure to check the podcast with a real expert as Matt Miller from BleacherReport.com talks about the best teams, if Mike Vick worth the new contract, and why no one will be laughing at the Lions and Browns this season.

AFC East
New England Patriots – A team hat has only added even more weapons for both a veteran offense and young prominent D can go all the way. (But we say this EVERY year)

Buffalo Bills – When you make three Superbowls in a row and have NOTHING to show for it, maybe Stevie Williams should blame God for Buffalo?

Miami Dolphins – That Awkward moment when you realize you should of went after a QB instead of a RB you’ll find out is not a starter…

New York Jets – Now with the 2nd best secondary in the NFC on paper, let’s see if Plax and Greene can give the struggling offense a boost.

AFC North
Baltimore Ravens- The Ravens only real obstacle is playing a Pittsburgh team that they not only lost twice to last year, but during the arguably the two most important months in football. (December & January)

Cincinnati Bengals- I never thought I’d say this, but I feel worst for people who live in Cincy than Cleveland this season.

Cleveland Browns- It’s a shame the Browns are in the AFC North, because Colt has looked great during preseason and as long as Hillis can avoid the Madden curse, this team could be a 1st place one in the NFC West.

Pittsburgh Steelers- An AFC North favorite again, The Steelers seem to have the same problems every year, a weak O-Line and getting in trouble with the law.

AFC South
Houston Texans- Every year you hear analysts say, “The Texans are playoff bound this year,” well this is the year they do it!

Indianapolis Colts- Depending on how serious the injury is, the fact the Colts could play 4 playoff teams from last year without Manning is a Vanderjagt moment.

Jacksonville Jaguars- With Jones-Drew coming off of knee surgery and Rashad Jennings out for the whole season, Del Rio has got some balls to release Garrard.

Tennessee Titans- What’s the difference between Kerry Collins and Matt Hasselbeck again? Guess we’ll find out Sunday with the Colts vs. the Titans.

AFC West
Denver Broncos - Anything will be better than last year’s horrible effort, and PLEASE stay away from those throwback jerseys.

Kansas City Chiefs- Despite the lack of attention, the Chiefs have a couple of all-stars on their team and a young defense that only seems to get better.

Oakland Raiders- You guys got rid of your best guy and so now it’s time to rebuild, but I know it’s going to be tough without JaMarcus Russell. (Jokes People…)

San Diego Chargers – Notoriously known for starting off the season slow, if they can somehow get off to a quick start then KC should be the only problem.

NFC East
Dallas Cowboys- Playing in what might be the most exciting division in football, Dallas should hope for a healthy Romo to make up the lack of a running game.

New York Giants- With a lot of preseason injuries and a questionable offense, let’s see if Eli can back up those comparisons to Tom Brady. (With not as good hair)

Philadelphia Eagles- The only difference between the Eagles and the Heat is the Eagles play in an actual sports town. No excuses

Washington Redskins- David Garrard on line 1?

NFC North
Chicago Bears- Same scenario different season, fighting for a wildcard spot while trying to do something with that offense.

Detroit Lions – I really feel this will be a year Detroit can make a mark and show that a healthy Stafford and strong D-Line is playoff potential by next season.

Green Bay Packers- No one seems to be talking about the defending champions, and that’s scary.

Minnesota Vikings- CAN YOU BELIEVE JAREN ALLEN CAN’T DO HIS CELEBRATION DANCE ANYMORE?! Oh yea..Vikings probably have the hardest schedule in the league, so no playoffs. BUT THAT DANCE!!

NFC South
Atlanta Falcons- If Green Bay’s offense is Jay-Z then Atlanta’s is Kanye, so I guess the Saints are Lil Wayne?

Carolina Panthers- Steve Smith is going to get hurt (if he hasn’t already) and it should be fun to see what Cam can do.

New Orleans Saints- Upgraded an already good D-Line, so it’s up to the secondary in key matches against the Falcons and Bucs,

Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Freeman looked great last year, as did Blount, and the defense too, a lot to look forward to in Tampa.

NFC West
Arizona Cardinals- When you get a new QB and pay a wide receiver 20 mil a year, expect to see the ball thrown around a little.

San Francisco 49ers- Frank Gore is in his prime, can the Niners take advantage of that?

Seattle Seahawks- Seattle has this habit of getting good receivers and then having no one to throw it to them.

St. Louis Rams- Who? Just kidding, they could probably win the division at 6-10 the way this division is.
