Pretty interesting draft. I'm happy with the Vikes getting kalil, it should help make a few lanes for AP and give Ponder some more time.

[Nate River]

Panthers had so many holes on D that it didn't matter to me as long as they went with the D. I'd have been fine with Cox or Kuechly. Given all the injuries (Edwards, Beason, Davis (3 ACL tears!)) that were, well, everywhere, they just needed an impact player.

Vikings stadium hangs in the balance today, wonder if they will get it or not.

[Nick Soapdish]

Looks like my odds of being able to nab Adrian Peterson in the draft are improving further. Argh.

I'm guessing that this won't hurt his season much. If he gets suspended, it'll be early in the season when he'll be coming back from injury. How would it work if they declared him unable to perform that week (not that I expect that to happen; I figure that he'll be "questionable" or something)? Would the suspension get pushed back a week?

Anyone seeing games this season? Just bought my tickets to Vikings VS Jaguars this morning!

[Nate River]

Nope. Nearest team to me is 300 miles away and it's the Cowboys and I hate the Cowboys. They play my Panthers this year, but it's in Charlotte, so I'm out of luck.

Nick, are you SURE you don't want to give the Vikings to San Antonio? I know McCombs doesn't own them anymore, but come on...we have the Alamo Dome.....

I'm hoping to see a Vikings-Jaguars game sometime. The Jags are the closest team to me so it's the best chance for me to see them. Plus, the likelihood of the Jags selling out is low. They did play in Jax a couple years ago, but I couldn't interest any friends and was kinda tight then anyway (and still am, but maybe in a few years).

After all that trouble to get the damn stadium bill passed? Nah.

But maybe the Jaguars would like to move. San Antonio is probably the second most likely destination for a team after LA.

You'd get big draws from San Antonio and Austin (it's only 80 miles away). If San Marcos had more than 20K people it would be ideal, Half way between Austin and San Antonio.

Alamo Dome kinda does suck though....

Even Austin? I figured that they'd be a Longhorns town and a team would fare similar difficulties drawing from there as the Jaguars do in NE Florida. The difference being that San Antonio would have about twice as many people to draw from - without Austin.

They are. But it's a town of 600K people and Longhorns don't play on Sunday. And that is also the risk in San Antonio. They LOVE the Cowboys here. It sucks. Not in Dallas, but I still drown in a sea of Cowboy fans.

[Mik3]

I'd love to go to an eagles game, but the season ticket list is loooooong and stub hub tickets are ridiculous. No point in even trying to buy them straight up anymore

I made one more thing we can do during the season, H & E Picks!

There are no words to describe how pissed off I am right now, that was one of the most pathetic showings by my Bills in some time. I can't take it anymore I want Gailey gone, I want Fitzpatrick gone, I want Nix's head on a kittening pike....

Theme of NFL Week 1 of the 2012 Season, Interceptions!

Seriously so many INT from Quarterbacks this week.

[Lucky Star]

So true. Vick had 4 interceptions and Stafford had 3, in the first half XD.

[Lid]

So good to see Adrian Peterson playing well after that horrible injury last year.
