The NFL pre-season kicked off tonight with the annual hall of fame game in canton, Ohio. The Bengals took on the Cowboys in a fairly typcial pre-season game.

The X-factor that made it interesting was Terrell Owens. His sudden departure from the Cowboys a little over a year ago  made headlines and surprised no one but T.O. (he even said after the game he still thinks he should be a Cowboy).

T.O. is now catching Carson Palmer’s passes in Cincy alongside Chad OchentaCinco.

Say what you want about T.O. and his antics, but if you are one of those people who think he has lost two steps and doesn’t still ahve a top 15 WR game, you are wrongly mistaken. He put up pretty good numbers for a losing team with the most untalented batch of QB’s I’ve ever seen.

T.O. and OchoCinco will be impossible to cover, and will help Carson Palmer come back from a year that saw the Bengals be the 26th ranked passing team in the NFL. Strange enough, the Bengals had their worst passing year, and had one of Carson Palmer’s two best years.

It is just pre-season and no one really cares except head coaches and 4th string defensive backs. But the excitement is back and the NFL season is just on the horizon.

Check out the game’s Box Score.

Jerry Jones got drunk and started talking to some fans at the bar while they were recording him on one of their camera phones.  The video is a pretty low quality video hosted by ESPN on youtube, but it’s defeinitely worth a watch and it’s pretty funny.

Wehn Jones was asked by the fans if the Jaguars would draft Tebow just to sell jersey’s he replied: “That’s the only reason I brought in [Bill] Parcells.” Followed by “Bill’s not worth a s***.  I love him… But he isn’t worth a ****.”

On Tebow, when asked if he would take Tebow in the thrid round, he said: “WHY? I couldn’t get him on the field…” (amongst laughter) “I can’t get him out there.”

Saints go into the game 13-0 this season looking to keep their perfection and keep up with the Colts. And if you aren’t living in a small secluded box somewhere in Guatemala, you’ve probably noticed its December. Well that means awful, just terrible things for the Cowboys as they are 4-8 since 2007 in December. Its worse than that though. They blow their playoffs seeding nearly every year and then go into the playoffs and wrap up the playoff game in a nice little bow and hand it over to their opponent for Christmas.

Well this time it may be different. Although the Cowboys lost another December game last week, this week they have a chance. The Cowboys clearly aren’t driven by playoff depth and success since they’ve had none. But maybe spoiling 65 guy’s lives by ruining their perfect season is just the thing to motivate Romo and the ‘Boys. By this point, the undefeated season is within reach for the Saints and starting to hit home just how important this feat could be. This could leave them looking ahead to week 17 and the Superbowl already.

I like the Saints to win still, but they are going to have to scrap for this one too. Trust the game will be within a TD at the end, and the Cowboys cover the 8 point spread and potential win a spoiler.
