    Yeah if not for being in the same division as probably the two best teams in the league, I'd like their chances. But that is one stacked division. I expect around Week 10 to see a bunch of ESPN stories asking "Is this the best division EVAH!!!!!"

    That may be true. But it's far from a "I Wish I had Sunday Ticket" game. I'll likely be someplace that has every game playing. And chances are, I'll only look over at that game when other games are on commercial break.

    Carson Palmer!! Sam Bradford!!! MUST-SEE TV, PEOPLE!!!

    Most people watch the game of their local team, no matter how much said team stinks.

    Not any more now that they don't give a shit about the print product for paying customers and only cater to the cheap or free (or stealing) online audience.

    Hey, everyone is undefeated!

    As for the really late starts, no reason they can't take two teams from the Mountain or Pacific time zones.

    I mean, I agree, but that wasn't the issue. Unless whoever said it was a fan of one of those two teams. I don't recall being given any indication that was the case. So.....point still stands. The Cardinals-Rams game is a snoozer. And definitely not a HOLY FUCK I WISH I HAD SUNDAY TICKET!!!! game. Or even close to it.

    I'm no fan of either team and I think it will be a damn good game.

    I'm just curious to see if the Rams are ready to make a move and how much difference Palmer makes in Arizona.
    Same with Vikings/Lions - is Ponder better? Will the Lions rebound? All four qbs could be elsewhere or on their way out next year if things don't work out.

    But to crossthread, a lot of people will want to see their #1 fantasy pick play.

    From Cardinals-Rams? Who are we talking about?

    If you're talking about Fitzgerald, you'd have to be in a 32-team league to even consider him with the first pick.
