It’s Hall of Fame Weekend™ in the NFL, and they always celebrate this by playing – gasp, ARRRRRRRRGH!!!!! – a real, live football game.
Funny how that happens, hm?
Therefore, the first PFW of the year…
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  YEAH, YEAHHHHH?!?!?!?!?
…starts…
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  Awwwwwwww!!!!
…launches…
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  @)@($@!@$%()@!#)(!@$_(@_####!!!!!!!
LSIK&T:  Do I have  to?
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  Pleeeeeeeeeeeze?
LSIK&T:    Oh, alright.
…kicks off…
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  COORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! 
(Well, they are  a pretty good crew.  Why not toss ’em a bone once in a while?)
…kicks off with the Hall of Fame Game™ in Canton, Ohio, between the Warshington Deadskins  and the Indianhapless Dolts.
MERLIN:  Dolts???
LSIK&T:  Peyton’s still hurt and won’t play.
MERLIN:  Ah.  Dolts it is, then.
This will be the one-and-probably-only time we see much of Jim Sorgi in a starting role this year – but Marvin Harrison is back and healthy, so it might not make too much of a difference.
This will also be the first time we see former Miami defensive end Jason Taylor in the maroon-and-American cheese, so I’m looking for Washington to have the upper hand defensively.  Skins will probably win without too much trouble – the Indy offense doesn’t do squat when Peyton’s not running it.
As for you guys’ next question – “Spats, if it doesn’t involve one of your teams, why blog about it?” – the answer to that is because it’s football, and real, live football hasn’t been played in a while, so that’s  what makes it perfect.
Neener, neener.
We’re back Monday for the recap.  And I’ll probably have something to say about Brett Favre, too.
If I still care much about that soap opera by then.
And I don’t give much of a flying fuck about it now.
Eh.

Football? Where? Sunday night on NBC. ew… Olby will have something to do with it, won’t he? I need to send more nastygrams to the execs, I guess.
I’ve been so jonesing for football that I almost forced my kids to play. I don’t want to care about pre-season and training camp and all that… but it’s football, dangit.
I love baseball. I really do. But football is just a completely different addiction, ya know?
Wake me when the season starts. If the game doesn’t count to the NFL, why should it count to the fans?
Then again, I’m not real big on meaningless gestures, and preseason games are meaningless gestures.
