The Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants game this
Thursday night will usher the beginning of the 2008 Season.
Questions, answers, surprises and drama are sure to follow. Chief
among the Mudbone Football League will be who, if anyone, will unseat
the league only repeat champion - the Keelhaulers.
From a league and fantasy standpoint, all will wait to see if the record
breaking performance of the Tom Brady to Randy Moss connection can be
derailed. The duo will also lead the way for a New England
Patriots team that was a win in the Super Bowl from immortality.
Much of the media focus across the nation is certain to follow the never
ending Favre/Green Bay and now New York Jet saga, which has overshadowed
the fact that former Jet Chad Pennington was discarded and turned up in
a Miami Dolphin uniform. Whereas the Packers were deftly afraid to
face Favre anywhere on their schedule, the Jets and Dolphins are AFC
East rivals and will square off at least twice in 2008.
Knocking on a door they have been trying to kick in are the San Diego
Chargers, who feature fantasy football juggernaut LaDainian Tomlinson.
After two seasons of being on the cusp of a breaking through, the
Chargers need to fulfill the promise

of their potential or face the looming shadow of missed opportunity.
Likewise, Bill Kirkland has opportunity at his door. In
consecutive season the Slutty Bitches had the first pick and Tomlinson
fall in their laps. Will the Bitches answer the bell and dance to
a championship, or continue the futility that has defined their tenure
in the MFL? The Minnesota Vikings' and
Honey Buckets' Adrian Peterson appears poised on the brink of
superstardom. In 2007 Peterson was brought along slowly & when
given the chance exploded with his rare talent. Now with the focus
drawn squarely on number 28 can he carry his talent to the sky?
The MFL itself has many others that have a need to account for there
actions. Rookies no more, the Wife Beaters and Pocket Protectors
are entering their third seasons and can't excuse another playoff-less
effort for lack of experience. The before mentioned Kirkland and
Paul Holden are as long in the tooth as they are short on Mudbone Cup
Championships. Mike Lee is now a decade removed from his last
championship. Beginning Thursday and starting this weekend the
bell will ring. For some it may already be the beginning of the
end. For others, a fruitful path starts of promise. But for
one and one only, a call to arms and the onset of ultimate victory. |
