The Red Sox are on the West Coast, and let's face it, the baseball season has been rather tame this season. So why not talk some football, our national pastime.
With training camp starting in a few weeks, I'm already getting excited, even for the annual Brett Favre uncertainty. The Patriots will undoubtedly have a tougher time in the division this season, with the Jets and Dolphins loading up during the offseason.
The offense, which underperformed last season, I'm hoping will be a bit better, and it has to be because the defense has plenty of question marks, especially in the defensive backfield. Will Patrick Chung turn into the player everyone thought he'd be after being drafted in the second round? Will first-round choice Devin McCourty be an immediate impact player?
The Jets, who advanced to the AFC title game last year as a wild card, are the early favorites in the AFC East after adding Jason Taylor, Antonio Cromartie and LaDainian Tomlinson. The Dolphins bolstered their defense with Karlos Danby. The Patriots didn't make many offseason moves, but I still like what they have going into the season.
But keep an eye out for the Colts, always dangerous, and the Ravens, who I believe are the favorites in the AFC.
The NFC, assuming Brett Favre is back, will be a two-dog race between the Vikings and the Saints. I took the Vikings to go to the Super Bowl last season, and they were one stupid Favre interception from making me look like a genius.
The Hall of Fame game between the Bengals and Cowboys is Sunday, Aug. 8. That's 18 days away and I can't wait.
