The 2011 season is finally upon us. Long gone is the talk of lockouts, strikes, free agents, UDFAs, and holdouts. Tonight we get the last two Super Bowl champs in New Orleans and Green Bay. Frankly, this looks like a cakewalk for Green bay, as New Orleans is (in my opinion) a team on its way down from the pinnacle. They were trounced fairly easily by the lowly and ridiculed (and rightly predicted by Unca) Seattle Seahawks.

The Saints could be better than I think. They did hit the FA market pretty hard, getting Darren Sproules, the oft-mentioned Aubrayo Franklin, and another strong DT in Shaun Rogers, and they got Cam Jordan from Cal and Alabama’s Heismann winner Mark Ingram in the draft, but I still don’t think they win out over Atlanta.

Anyhow, welcome to the new blog, and onward to Sunday . . .
