Yeah Macca I thought Ponder should of had more then two snaps thats for sure. He threw a pick with one of his two throws so that's not a good look and purplepride.org went into meltdown! I didn't see anything from the Packers game. Anything to make note of?

Vikes go down to Houston and the packers score a doughnut. It doesn't mean anything. Even the team structures aren't on show as no team wants to show their plays off in the pre season. It's a non event but as Melbourne supporters we are used to it. Still I'm glad it's back and tebow got a gig!

I read that. Wouldn't every team have it drilled into them that their divisional rivals are no good? Jennings is stretching this out a bit. Instead of catching bullets from Rodgers I hope he can catch some passes at his ankles from Ponder or he is gonna look stupid.

Your Packers look like they have gone mad Macca. Vikings coach said they are sick of training camps as well and they want to "Hit some other jeresey's" The tension from Watts not signing yet must be getting to them.

Probably their best effort so far. http://youtu.be/STdOBtZc1bU

Big wraps on WR Tavon Austin from a NFL.com reporter. He could be a rams version of a rookie Randy Moss. You may be on to something here Gorgoroth. "I watched all of his tape, I saw him in person at his pro day. He might be the most explosive player I've ever seen in my life, from a static start to full speed," Mayock said on Monday's "Inside Training Camp Live." "He's almost impossible to cover in short spaces. So the ways you can use this are basically only constrained by the imagination of your offensive coordinator."

I'm a bit the same with the VIkings. Maybe it's the fact we are Melbourne supporters we all go into in sporting season with a slight feeling of dread. If your Rams can establish a running game without Jackson and Bradford and Austin can click you could have a deadly offence.

I bet Aaron Rogers wants the season to start too. For some reason Greg Jennings keeps stoking the rivalry fire between the Vikes and Packers. Why try and make Rogers want to beat a divisional rival even more? Also Rogers made Jennings get the massive contract at Minnesota by giving him the ball on a silver platter when he was a Packer. Plus the having a good mate in Braun lie to Rogers about his PED use and I bet Rogers just wants to play.

Are the jets a controversy or is their behavior a consistency? I can see Sanchez out after 3 games and geno steps in to do nothing as well. The bring back tebow chants will be loud and clear.

I agree we Craig gave fitzy a stretch of games and it has boosted his confidence and output. Even after Fitz didn't touch the pill against Geelong he came back the next week to show some form and I expect jimmy to do the same.

3 away winners sounds good to me. I'll start working on my predictions. I have already penciled the redskins as the biggest slider.

Spot on mate sounds like a great idea. I'm in for the tipping and season predictions.

Got a mate who is a mad seahawk and he hasn't shut up about being a superbowl certainty. It's hard to argue with him about it. At the start of the AFL season we all do our predictions on here and it shows I know nothing about Footy. Maybe we should test our knowledge on the NFL a couple of weeks before the season kicks off.

There is a great Doco from ESPN on the USFL. Some great players chose to play for the USFL instead of the NFL. Fans loved it as it was a bit more fun then the No Fun League. But Donald Trump was a owner and convinced other owners to go head to head with the NFL in the winter. It shows how much of a [censored] Trump is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d85gq0tHwPk

Preseason starts early August

With my old 'friends' the Packers being the only publicly owned team they announce their profits. They just announced a 54.3 million dollar profit! Total revenue was 308 million! Could the Packers pay for our new coach with some spare change?

I could say the same for the bears and packers. Damn tough divisions we are stuck in.

I have no issues with Jimmy I think he is coming along well. I wish we had a half decent team so we could see Jimmy run and carry the footy a bit more. Seeing Jimmy on the run through the guts kicking to any forward on the lead would be poetry in motion.

Looking forward to seeing the Seahawks and niners go at it again. I think they play week 2. Both teams just don't get along at all. I wouldn't mind seeing Seattle going for hail mary plays in the last quarter when winning by 21 points. Harbaugh may murder Pete Carroll. This is becoming a massive rivalry and both teams are pretty damn good.

I think Joe Montana was the Micheal Jordan for us international fans. I didn't know anything about the sport but all I knew was he was a superstar. I should be a niners fan but once I got into the sport I saw Randal Cunningham throw bombs all day to a Rookie Randy Moss and Cris Carter and a crazy DT in John Randle. After that I was hooked. I think the superbowl is the Bronco's to lose this year.

I love his kicking skills. Surround him with a quality midfield and he will flourish.

And Brady will throw him a pass right down the middle to get him cleaned up and knocked out in the first pre season game. That will sort out any "Tebowmania"

Vikings sign a free agent middle linebacker from guess where? Green bay. Bishop signed for one year. Read a good comment when someone asked what do you call a Viking with a superbowl ring? A former Packer.

Tebow a pat is odd who is the pats back up QB? I read that former high draft pick Jamarcus Russell is trying out with a couple of teams as well.

Here are some more images of the new vikings stadium.
