I thought about writing about the Lockout on here but I decided that I don't have the time to do so. Besides, what else is there to say anyway?

I'll probably look at the lockout and see if it is going to happen. After that, I'll look at some ideas of what's going to happen with each team and the thought of how a team turns around in one season.

It has been another season of surprises and seems to be a theme. The most shocking is probably the NFC West considering that nobody is really running away with the division and the fact that a team with a .500 winning percentage could win it. It seems a bit crazy but possible nevertheless.

I wrote an article about the matter at hand. By this point, there still hasn't been all the teams added. Some would have been shocked by Minnesota that they have fallen down but it's debatable because the question was whether Favre had it anymore and it looks like he's done and this scandal with him has been a distraction.

The Browns are surprising in that they are not getting blown out. All that is left is closing games out with victories and if they can do better the next season, then there is a chance for a playoff spot. It is unlikely they will make it but a team that could be classified as going the right way for a change.

As far as the playoff picture, it's going to be interesting to project the weekly ones. Once the dust settles, then it becomes easier to go by week after week.

Drew Brees is going to be on the cover of Madden. Now, this does not bode well for him because there has been the legendary Madden Curse that has been in place. New Orleans is coming off a Super Bowl season and he gets put on the cover. Why is that a bad thing to be on the cover? Well, if you recall the history of players that get on the cover, it doesn't bode well for them.

The players probably don't believe in that but it can be seen. Those that have been on there have not had the seasons they had envisioned or worse yet out of the year. It is not something that can be easily explained but does get some notoriety due to the fact that it cannot be a good thing.

I'm taking a break right now from it as there really isn't much NFL activity in regards to games. Perhaps after the draft, I could have a better perspective on it. If anyone would want to apply, then by all means do so. It'd help keep it active.

After the entire season, there are some final thoughts overall when it comes to the season and the post-season. Without question, there have been some upsets but it's time for some team awards. This will be my last blog post for a few months. I'll wait for the next season.

Upset of the Year: Cleveland Browns defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who would have imagined that one happening?
