Jered Mayo is going to be a BUST!!!

Must See Games didn't include Vikes / Pack?
With all the media hype about AR and BF, all the question marks about TJ and expected glory of AD, how did this miss the cut?

Haven't you figured out that nobody loves us yet?

Coaches on the hotseat:

Jeff Linehan, St. Louis Rams: Linehan is also in the third year of a four-year contract, but unlike Edwards, he doesn't have any playoff games on his resume, just an 11-21 mark with the Rams. Linehan's leadership and play-calling were called into question by the likes of quarterback Marc Bulger and wide receiver Torry Holt last season, and ownership has to be concerned that the Rams are becoming an afterthought in baseball-crazy St. Louis.

Last I checked his name wasn't Jeff.

Yeah...nobody loves us (and why should they).
But history has shown they do love "them"...or maybe it was just Favre they loved this whole time.

For some reason i doubt that. He hits like a truck and can run. But this is just only one opinion...


Also, the 5 games to watch.... dumb. Yes all those games should be good, but throw some variety in there. There is a ton of games I want to see, and I guess since the list is only 5 long, you have to go with those games.
