So football season is here, that's nice. I enjoy the once a week games, prepping for fantasy football competition with friends, and the highlight plays that Megatron and other big names provide. But one day after the Thursday night game between the Cardinals and the Rams on October 5th, the Celtics will be tipping off the first preseason game against Fenerbahce Ulker Turkish club team in Instanbul. A full season lies ahead of us following the abbreviated disaster of a season last year. I will likely be even more NBA obsessed this year as the NHL looks to repeat history with another lockout, freeing up my time.
The picture above is from the Blazers twitter feed and has some of the only returning players from last year. Even that picture is now outdated as Elliot Williams is out for the season with knee surgery, and his spot may be filled with the ever under-whelming Adam Morrison. But AmMo would be one of many newly signed vets and rookies that promise to make the Blazers season interesting, as well as likely unsuccessful. Either way I'll be watching and cheering in 21 days.
