Oh hey there! And so it begins-The Circle Of Football Life. The last time we gathered together to comment during a live game was like, 27 months ago (it seems longer than that to me). We were grizzled veterans back then. The hell of an overly drawn-out season had taken its toll-Horatio could barely stuff his Tony Romo sex doll back into his locker during the playoffs. Dok had sunk so low that she was banging something called “Pat From Jersey” on the reg! Yeah Right? He was having take-out buttered toast for the big game. But now we’re all rested up.

Like many of you, I’ve tried hard to work on my commenting game. While the players were attending camp, I was commenting from camp. When they were warming up, I was stretching my analogies. When some rookie was tackling a football dummy, I was tackling Football For Dummies. I’m sure that more than one of my brethren were conjugating their verbs daily or taking their run-on sentences for a jog. Sure it’s hard work-but if you want to be at your best you’ve GOT to study that playbook, er, thesaurus every night.

TO THE GAME!

Packers @ Colts: Bad news for all you Brett Hundley fans out there-he’s got an ankle owie.  You know what this means, don’t you? Oh yeah, it’s all kinds of Joe Callahan action-he’s the undrafted Division 3 fella from Wesley Crusher College that’s somewhere in The Delaware. Others to keep an eye out for Packers-wise are draft picks Kenny Clark, Jason Spriggs, Kyler Fackrell, Blake Martinez and Trevor Davis. On the Colts side you may want to ogle T.J. Green, Le’Raven Clark, Hassan Ridgeway and Antonio Morrison.

*a brief note to lurkers out there

If you’ve been wondering when would be a good time to jump into the fray, this is a great spot. We never bite unless expressly asked to do so in no uncertain terms. Personally, as a non-lawyer, I’m begging someone/anyone that has some sort of understanding of ethics to get in here. The user-name “Eddie Lacy’s Cleavage” is there for the taking, by the way.
