Join Jack and Pat for this weekly tawk about what's going on in the world of the NFL. Every Thursday they'll cover the game, the rumors and the social impact the leagues current events are having.

Pat Fairweather · 3:00 PM

Hey JT...

Jack Terry · 3:00 PM

What's going on Pat? Are you ready for some NFL football??

Pat Fairweather · 3:00 PM

I am ready for some NFL action for sure!!

Jack Terry · 3:01 PM

Good, because the Hll of Fame game is just two weeks away!

Jack Terry · 3:01 PM

or as most people call it, the Hall of Fame game.

Pat Fairweather · 3:01 PM

Yep and the training camp reports are starting to effect fantasy rosters...

Jack Terry · 3:02 PM

You better believe it. Fantasy football is now considered one of the biggest hobbies in the nation.

Pat Fairweather · 3:02 PM

Like Dallas for instance...they let Kyle Orton go leaving Weeden as the back up to Romo...what????

Pat Fairweather · 3:02 PM

Yet another brilliant move by the Dallas Cowboys!!

Pat Fairweather · 3:02 PM

I didn't know that fantasy football was the #1 hobby...cool

Jack Terry · 3:02 PM

Orton has been threatening to retire, he didn't show up for OTA's, but he's also refusing to return any of his signing bonus even though he still has two years left on his contract.

Jack Terry · 3:03 PM

Yeah, and it's also the leading cause of workplace inefficiency!!

Pat Fairweather · 3:03 PM

Pray that Romo doesn't get hurt...Weeden sucks bad.,..

Pat Fairweather · 3:04 PM

I've only done fantasy football for two years and have yet to have a winning team despite a powerful roster

Jack Terry · 3:04 PM

of course he does. That's what the Cowboys need, someone to help ensure they have a fourth season in a row where the go 8-8.

Pat Fairweather · 3:04 PM

LOL...Romo is ranked the 6th best clutch quarterback in the NFL though...by Bucky Brooks

Jack Terry · 3:05 PM

With a name like Bucky, I don't know if I can trust that source!

Pat Fairweather · 3:05 PM

He was the QB scout for Seattle for years...might have a few credentials.

Jack Terry · 3:05 PM

My favorite part about fantasy football is that it has made a media star of Matthew Berry, probably the least athletic person ESPN has ever hired this side of John Clayton.

Jack Terry · 3:06 PM

Maybe the Cowboys should sign him, he certainly couldn't do any worse.

Pat Fairweather · 3:06 PM

LOL...hey let's touch on the WAshington Redskin issue...

Jack Terry · 3:06 PM

I've got the solution for the Redskins. Keep the name, change the logo.

Jack Terry · 3:07 PM

A nice red skin potato is easily as intimidating as the continually injured RGIII

Pat Fairweather · 3:07 PM

CBS is leaving it up to the individual announcers whether they say "Redskins" or not...

Jack Terry · 3:07 PM

A lot of media is now referring to them as "The football team from Washington"

Pat Fairweather · 3:07 PM

I'll watch games and make a drinkiing game of it...

Jack Terry · 3:08 PM

HA! That might be the only way any game in the NFC East is exciting.

Pat Fairweather · 3:08 PM

Kind of like the artist formerly known as Prince?

Jack Terry · 3:08 PM

Just without the crazy symbol.

Pat Fairweather · 3:08 PM

Change it to Washington Warriors...

Jack Terry · 3:08 PM

There have been a lot of NFL stories in the off season. Which do you think was the biggest?

Pat Fairweather · 3:09 PM

I think that the Kris Kluwe thing is major...

Jack Terry · 3:09 PM

Warriors would work, although as effecient as that team is getting anything done, the Washington Congress might be a better fit.

Pat Fairweather · 3:09 PM

LOL....appropriate too!!

Jack Terry · 3:10 PM

That story is intriguing and I think now with Michael Sams as the first openly gay NFL player it might be the one story that continues to draw interest.

Pat Fairweather · 3:10 PM

Also, there has been an increase in suspensions due to off season behavior

Jack Terry · 3:10 PM

Gordon from the Browns, suspended for a year because of his second DUI.

Pat Fairweather · 3:10 PM

Kluwe has straight up been black balled...no ref to Sam...lol

Jack Terry · 3:10 PM

OH that's horrible!! And by horrible I mean I wish I had thought of it first!!

Pat Fairweather · 3:11 PM

I think you're right though...the homosexual issue, gay marriage, etc shouldn't be a part of the sport but because of it's "manly" reputation...god forbid there be anything but big rough heterosexuals in it

Pat Fairweather · 3:12 PM

sadly., there are many a closet door closed...

Jack Terry · 3:12 PM

And yet they all slap each other's butt after a good play. What's up with that?

Jack Terry · 3:13 PM

There is and the unfortunate thing for Michael Sam is that if he has anything less than a stellar season people will blame it on the fact that he's gay. He will be held to a higher standard.

Pat Fairweather · 3:13 PM

Really...and Michael Sam...one of the best def players in the NCAA was the second to the last on drafted??? what?

Jack Terry · 3:13 PM

Anyone who knows the game, looks at that and doesn't blame homophobia is an idiot.

Pat Fairweather · 3:13 PM

SEC defensive player of the year...he's going to have a GREAT year!!

Jack Terry · 3:14 PM

If he does, nobody will care about who he sleeps with, especially the players on his team.

Pat Fairweather · 3:14 PM

Kluwe is hetero but spoke out in favor of gay marriage, which incidently was passed in MN then was cut from the Vikes and now he can't pay for a job. Great punter too

Pat Fairweather · 3:15 PM

The NFL is going to be packed with action, controversy and surprises this season!!

Jack Terry · 3:15 PM

It always is. What kind of expectations do you have for the Chiefs this year?

Pat Fairweather · 3:16 PM

I think we'll see the same type of season the Chiefs had last year. Some improvement in the QB position but Charles will dominate again...

Pat Fairweather · 3:16 PM

They will make the playoffs but not much further...I'm being painfully real here

Pat Fairweather · 3:16 PM

crying just a little...

Jack Terry · 3:17 PM

Although I think a lot of the controversy will disappear once the games begin. So much of what gets talked about in the off season, not that it's not important, is because die hard NFL fans have nothing else to talk about.

Pat Fairweather · 3:17 PM

Yea, we get bored with the World Cup and Tennis...

Jack Terry · 3:17 PM

Playoffs? I root for Dallas. We can't even spell playoffs! Wwe've had chances the last few years but manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory every year.

Pat Fairweather · 3:18 PM

Dallas, despite the star power is ranked only #20 in the power rankings...

Jack Terry · 3:18 PM

NFL fans are the most passionate of any league in the United States. Not that they don't appreciate other sports, but the loyalty is much fiercer there than anywhere else.

Pat Fairweather · 3:18 PM

Ironically, Romo is one of the top ranked 4th quarter QB's in the NFL...too bad nobody on the team knows that...

Jack Terry · 3:18 PM

Oh they suck. They are only ranked that high because of their history.

Pat Fairweather · 3:19 PM

What's your overall prediction, Jack? Who is going to take the season this year?

Jack Terry · 3:19 PM

My favorite joke from the off-season: "When I die I want Tony Romo to be one of my pallbearers so he can let me down one last time."

Pat Fairweather · 3:19 PM

haha...I thought that was a Cleveland Browns joke...lol

Jack Terry · 3:20 PM

I'm going to go with the new standards: Seattle and San Fran, Baltimore and Denver.

Jack Terry · 3:20 PM

I think Cleveland is a sleeper this year. There's a lot of emotion in that town right now, thanks to Lebron. What's your predicition for this season?

Pat Fairweather · 3:21 PM

Denver of course, Seattle again but I agree...Cleveland went to the World Series after the movie Major League...Draft Day was all about the Browns...?????

Jack Terry · 3:22 PM

Stranger things have happened. If it does they'll need a new nickname. Mistake on the lake just won't fit any more.

Pat Fairweather · 3:22 PM

Cleveland has the dubious task of deciding on a QB...Manziel, Thigpen or Hoyer??

Jack Terry · 3:23 PM

Manziel. He brings energy, enthusiasm, and he really can't make them any worse a team than they've been.

Pat Fairweather · 3:23 PM

Oh and I've been reading that the Ravens will be on a rebuild this season...don't expect much.

Pat Fairweather · 3:24 PM

Hoyer was doing superb until he got hurt...no Gordon...need a QB with finess

Jack Terry · 3:24 PM

rebuild, schmebuild, they'll still be good.

Pat Fairweather · 3:24 PM

They kinda sucked last season so what do you know that no one else does?

Jack Terry · 3:25 PM

that defense wins championships. They pride themselves on that and they will focus on making their starting core strong. Their games will be ugly, but they'll win games.

Pat Fairweather · 3:26 PM

I agree...well it's pretty obvious why this Tawk is going to be a weekly thing...this could go on and on and on...love the NFL!!

Pat Fairweather · 3:26 PM

I say go Chiefs...and wish you a great day my friend.

Jack Terry · 3:26 PM

Definitely. I could tawk football for days.

Jack Terry · 3:27 PM

How bout them Cowboys???!!! Take it easy Pat, tawk to you soon!

Pat Fairweather · 3:27 PM

ciao....
