2017 Season Prediction Thread

[SD]

Not really excited for football season, usually I'm jumping out of my skin with excitement. There was nothing better than plopping my ass on the couch, drinking beer, ordering delivery, then watching the Eagles followed by the Redzone. Maybe the Giants home opener will get the juices flowing.

This is me exactly. The NFL has done everything in its power to make me disgusted in the league, its marketing and the product on the field. I know I'll get wound up about football during the season because I always do, but I'm having a very hard time giving a shtein right now.

I've felt that way for a few years now. I have more than a passing interest, but it's not close to what it was. More and more, when I watch I mostly see a bunch of entitled, enabled iceholes running around getting brain damage as they make billionaires even richer. Because, you know, that's pretty much what it is.

I bear no ill will towards the players. They are pawns in a game that they got thrown in to when they were children. The best of the best of the best get paid and make a phenomenal living, the other 98% of them have a 2-3 year career after which they have no discernible, employable skills and not nearly enough money to last the rest of their lives. Education came second, or third, for these guys since they were too young to make solid choices for themselves but we expect them to take school seriously while playing for football factory universities that prioritize ball over everything. No, I don't hate on the players anymore. I just put the TV on mute when they get microphones shoved in their face and move on with my day.

i for the most part quit the nfl a few years ago for most of the reasons already stated but my love or interest for the eagles has never wavered....however i will say for this year specifically they have had some of their juice taken away by the sixers....they are so much of what i think about these days and not just sports related but my everyday life

Excited because it's kickoff weekend not because of any expectations or hopes, just excited for Sunday football. 

Always been:

Phillies 1
Birds 1A
Sixers 2
Flyers 3

Well, I was excited until I just saw the whole Patriots pre game celebration.

Oh and 9-7.

1C/2A. Flyers
2B. Sixers

The Phillies are my first love, have the most recent success and bring back fond memories of watching games with my grandmother (who loved Juan Samuel).  Also the most relaxing for me to watch. 

The Eagles bring the most passion and swear words, probably because of the condensed schedule (each game means more).  My wife thinks I get too worked up.

Loved the Flyers big time in the 1980s and 1990s.  This current incarnation, not quite so much.  Hockey in general has lost a little something in the last decade, and the Flyers just aren't good enough to compensate for that. 

I'm kind of in and out on basketball since Dr. J retired, but thoroughly enjoyed watching the fruits of The Process starting to ripen last year.  Looking forward to more national games this season.  And the game in general is becoming more fun to watch for me than hockey.
