...review is up over at EC. Check it out. Bitch.

My World Athletics Championships 2007 preview will be going up shortly is up now over on Epic Carnival. Be sure to check it out!

It's football week (part deux) here on planet Shot To Nothing and so we're going to be previewing a different NFL division every day. And also comparing each team to a popstar... 'cause that's the kinda shit we're into. Bitch.

NFC North
A sexy dinosaur and Rex Grossman. In their predicted order:

The Chicago Bears - Michael Jackson
The Bears were hugely successful last season but for some reason they were also considered to be a bit of a joke. That might have had something to do with Rex Grossman... But anyhoo, the loss of Thomas Jones was a bad one although the Defense is still ridiculously good enough to make them the best in the NFC again. BUT... they are Superbowl losers and I'm not even sure I'm happy with my own placing for them this year. I still think they'll win the division but unlike the pundits, I don't think they'll be anywhere near as dominant as they were last year.

The Minnesota Vikings - Craig David
Understated and smooth, the vikings might surprise everyone this season. But I doubt it. I think the Bears are going to win this division easily again because it's going so damned easy fro them. Peterson was a nice pick for them and it might help Jackson to improve on last year but I don't think they have all the elements they need this year to make the
playoffs.

The Detroit Lions - Ricky Martin
The Lions look flashy but they haven't got much substance. Was Calvin Johnson really the right choice for them when what they really needed was someone who could throw the damned ball to their talented receiver core? I don't buy John Kitna as a fantasy sleeper and I don't buy him as a good QB, which pundits are saying won't matter with the weapons he has available. Well I got news for ya, it always matters. John Kitna is an average QB and he's not going to take the Lions anywhere they haven't already been.

The Green Bay Packers - Mariah Carey
Led by Brett Favre, the Packers are kind of old, clunky and predictable, but still show the odd touches of class now and then. I thought their defense showed improvement towards the end of last season but I'm not sure enough has been done in the off-season to make them a solid unit. I like Favre, but the Packers aren't going to move on until he does. It's not that their in decline it's more that they aren't moving onwards an upwards. This could be a long season for Packers fans.

So that does it for the previews, which is good news for me because I'm all out of popstars, but I hoped you enjoyed my skewed look at this years NFL season. Personally I don't even care who wins what right now, I just want the season to start... seriously, I'm jonesing all over the place right now. Good luck goes out to all your teams, but even better luck to The Miami Dolphins, 'cause we're gonna need it!

NFC West
Full of teams that are never as competitive as you think they're going to be. In their predicted order:

The St. Louis Rams - P. Diddy
Glamourous and surrounded by talent, the Rams are a team to be admired this season. Drew Bennet, Randy McMichael and Dante Hall were all gret additions to an already solid team and I think this is the year the Rams get back on top of their division.

The San Francisco 49ers - Jay Z
It's tough to decide whether you like the 49ers this season or whether you think they're gonna blow. I lean towards liking them thanks to a solid draft and the aquiring of Nate Clements to improve the secondary. It might have been costly, but this is a team on the up and this may be the season they really show it.

The Arizona Cardinals - Girls Aloud
Young, talented and pretty, the Cardinals have been a failed dark horse for many moons now. But this really could be the season we start to see those improvements coming though. I like Leinart passing to Boldin and Fitzgerald or handing off to James, it looks great on paper and it could bring a heck of a shock to a lot of teams this year. And I could see them making the playoffs. No, seriously.

The Seattle Seahawks - Kelly Clarkson
Boy, those pundits sure love the Seattle Seahawks don't they? Is it becauseof their ridiculous home field advantage or the fact that their division has been so soft of late? I don't know, what I do know though is that the Seahawks are in decline. Shaun Alexander is not going to have another great year this year (or ever again...) and Matt Hasslebeck is all smoke and mirrors. His receiving unit are not as good as they were two years ago and, although the team are remarkably well coached, I think this is going to be a terrible season for them. I know that's a fairly bold prediciton, as is placing them last in the division, but it's my gut feeling and I'm sticking with it.
