Are You Ready for Some Football?

NFL kicks off Thursday evening with the Saints at Indy. Peyton Manning and co. will begin their title defense against Drew Brees and Reggie Bush. With Dominic Rhodes gone, the Colts are more worried about the surprise retirement of left tackle Tarik Glen. His replecement, rookie second round pick Tony Ugoh from Arkansas. The Saints arsenal consists of Drew Brees, who seemingly hasn't thrown an incomplete pass all preseason, Reggie Bush who is coming off an 88 reception year and rookie sensation Marques Colston. By dumping the baggage of Joe Horn, the Saints have chosen to go young and are poised to make a run for the NFC Championship. But the run might have to wait until week 2. With Peyton and Marvin, expect a good old fashion shootout at the OK Corral. Final Score: Colts 31, Saints 21.
