Are you ready for some football?!?!

Tomorrow night begins the 2011 regular season with an epic tilt, as the New Orleans Saints square off with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. I'm personally hoping that the Saints blow the doors off the defending champion Packers. Championship teams rarely come to play in the first game after winning a championship, so let's hope that's the case tomorrow. Some of my spite for Green Bay has to do with just my pure disgust for the Packers (beating my Bears in the NFC championship game, ending the Bears season on their home turf didn't help) but has more to do with my love of Drew Brees and his incredible journey in the NFL. I should also mention that half of my fantasy team's success rests on Saints players and my arise to the top of the standings purely hinges or their success. With all that trepidation comes a ton of excitement for what takes place tomorrow. Simply said, the beginning of the NFL season, which looked so bleak just a few short weeks ago.

NFL kicks off this week

Well ladies and gentlemen the day we so worried about not happening is finally here, the NFL kicks off this Thursday. With a great match up, as the Saints visit the Packers in Green Bay to kick off the season in style. What a relief, the season did not get canceled but the Bears are still looking to answer some questions. Is Roy Williams a legit Number 1? Will Lance Briggs ever be happy? And can Jay Cutler bounce back from the wave of criticism he faced at the end of last season? All things that have not really been answered so far at training camp. So not the best start to this season coming off a NFC championship loss last season to your division rival. So a lot to talk about in regards to the NFL so tune in. We pretty much can bury the baseball teams. After getting swept by the Tigers over the weekend, the Sox have started making winter vacation plans. And the Cubs don't even have a GM, so they have some work to do this off season as well. So to hear all our opinions on everything Chicago, tune in to Withers & Finnerty tonight starting at 5:00 on www.sportstownchicago.com.
