Football season is right around the corner. I love football season. While baseball is also one of my favorite sports,
there is just something magical about the football season. Maybe it's because games are just once a
week, maybe it's because of the action involved or maybe it's just because it
captured my imagination as a child.

I'm a diehard Chargers fan.
It doesn't matter what type of season they have or how badly they choke
during play-offs. I absolutely love and
support them and will until the day I die.
Do I have expectations for San Diego this year? Not really.
I've learned that you have to take the San Diego Chargers with a grain
of salt. It's great when they're
winning, it sucks when they're losing but you'll stand by them through thick
and thin. We've always had a good, solid
team but they just can't seem to make it to the big game and win.

Now that I'm living in Denver, I do root for the Broncos as
my "default team." While I
wasn't very thrilled with Tebow Time here last season, I'm glad to see him gone
so the team can actually focus as a unit as opposed to being under him. However, if Denver had been smart, they
would've kept him on the roster as backup QB and let Manning groom him into a
true QB. I highly doubt Tebow will
become that now, as he's seemed destined to be a PR piece no matter where he
goes instead of actually being the total package in football.
I digress.
I'm excited to see what Manning brings to Denver. I'm sure every Broncos fan will hold their
breath with each hit he takes throughout the season, but if Manning can pull
off the impossible - which I do believe he can - Denver is going to be in for
one hell of a good, interesting and exciting football season. Even more so than when Tebow was here, which
is really want Broncos fans need to see.
It should be an interesting season in the NFL overall,
too. We have the Saints under a
microscope, facing fines and losing several players. We have the Packers who continue to prove
they're a force to reckon with. We have
some new rookies who are really exciting and starting from the get go. It's going to be an exciting season, and I
can't wait to catch as many games as I can!
