Five Things I think I think...

To blatantly rip off Peter King, I thought I'd start a weekly... sometimes biweekly... occasionally monthly.... ok, whenever I get around to it column.

1. I think that, come November, we're going to start hearing buzz about how Brett Farve, after lots of soul searching and very little TV attention, has suddenly decided to consider playing again with the Vikings-- but only if their record is 7-3 or better.

2. I think that Roger Goddell will allow Michael Vick to play again.... if Vick promises to lie prostrate at his feet and spitshine his shoes with his tongue. (I'm not a fan of Vick, but come on- enough is enough....)

3. I think the decision to have the "ESPN Special NFL Under-Armour Player Aquisition Prime Time Special sponsored by Coors Light on the first night and Budwiser for the Rest" reaks of commercialization.

4. I think that Tony Romo splitting up with Jessica Simpson is a great thing for him- I've been thinking it's about time he tried on a redhead for size.

5. I think that, if you've not already committed to our Fantasy Football Draft Party, that you need to go ahead and sign up soon- good times will be had by all!
