I"ll be there - I'll try to give you guys some updates from the NFL Network guys that won't be on TV.

They normally stop and talk to the fans during commercial breaks.

Wow the Browns won 5 games last year!

I think they`ve had a pretty good off season so far and with a little luck could do well this
year. Also Detroit have up-graded pretty much across the board and could well scrape
themselves from the foot of the NFC North.
3 intrigueing(?) days coming up. I love this flurry of activity after the last couple of dreary
weeks. I was looking through the archieves from this time last year,especially at the
Moorestead selection , and it was quite amusing , with hindsight, to see how it played
out. You would have got good odds (or institutionalised) if you said he would be starting the 2nd half of superbowl 44 with an onside kick.

Where next?
