LOST without Football
For months and months I’ve been suffering from some serious withdrawal. No, sorry, not drugs. That’s not really my thing. (Alcohol on the other hand, is a wonderful friend.) I’m talking about the NFL. When the end of January comes each year, I’m both excited as the Superbowl nears, but also sad that yet another season is over. And then the long cold winter days and nights practically mock me with their lack of footballness. Even playing Madden on my Xbox 360 just doesn’t cut it.
But my pangs of emptiness ended last night with the start of yet another NFL season. Thankfully, the Steelers still have a shot at making it somewhere this year. And with Brett Favre now on the Jets, the Giants looking for a repeat and the evil empire known as the Patriots showing they most certainly can be beaten, this season should be nothing short of awesome.
So who’s going to win this year? Which are the teams to beat and which are the ones certain for defeat? Hell if I know. But the guys over at 18 to 88 have put together the best Predicted NFL Standings for 2008 . Not only did they rank their predictions, but they compared each NFL team to a different character from the TV show LOST. My favorite description is a toss-up between Miami and Washington.
Props go out to my former Monday Night Football buddy Rob, who abandoned me for cheaper beer and a cat named Lennie Briscoe.

Football season always leaves me with an empty feeling. Being from Louisiana I am of course honor bound to root for LSU and the Saints (or as we fondly refer to them as, the “Caints”) Of course LSU has done well in the recent past so at least it isn’t completely disappointing.
