This is the time of year where I lose months of my life with no idea what happened. Weekends spent on couches and in armchairs staring and sometimes yelling at the television. The NFL is back, college football is in full-swing. God bless Mike and Mike for continuing to talk about baseball despite the fact that no one cares.

Tonight the NFL opens with what promises to be a heck of a game between the Saints and the Colts in Indy. While I am excited for the game, I am not at all looking forward to the concert and all of the other non-football related crap that the NFL will put on tonight. I’m picking the Colts to win at home. There are few stadiums in the league that are as loud and mind-jarring at the RCA Dome with fans in full pitch. I’d expect to see a high-scoring affair but the New Orleans secondary is no match for Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, Dallas Clark and Joseph Addai catching passes out of the backfield. Last season, I thought Reggie Bush was far and away the most overrated player in the NFL. The amount of production the Saints got out of him last season was wildly out of proportion to the attention paid to him in any given game. I would hope to see Bush in more of a feature back role but he is undeniably dangerous when lined up in the slot.
