My younger bro isn't anywhere near into NFL as much as I am but he got a Redskins t-shirt when I got the Dolphins t-shirt when we were kids so there is a bit of sibling rivalry there.

My prediction is the Dolphins will not be the worst team in the football league this season. I'm watching you Cleveland Browns!!!

Mate, the Browns went 10-6 last year. The team you should ALWAYS bet to be the worst is the Detroit Lions. Believe me, I live 20 minutes from the stadium, they're always terrible, always will be. They've never even made the super bowl. Not to mention the first 2 picks they had in the draft, are going to jail.

I know

The Browns were rubbish for 4 years prior to that. Last season was a fluke

I'm predicting they'll return to form next season.

Brett Favre has signed for the New York Jets. I never thought he'd play for anyone but the Packers.

yeah I saw that. He still has a bit to offer. he wasnt getting the contract
at Green bay was he?
I saw crying at his press conference, poor chap.
Top player though......He has sold more jerseys than any other player
in NFL history as far as Im aware, and doesnt he have the record for
yards gained through touch downs or summat?

He was still under contract, Green Bay just didn't want him to be their starter. They actually offered him $25 mil. to do a job which equates to just sitting at home. He's to proud to back someone up, thus they traded him. This was, and still is the only thing anyone ever talks about in this country.
