    Very well done and very fun read Dutch. Remind me to play along next year. Guessing games like this always feels like trying to piss into a soup can off a 2 story building, which really sounds fun unless you feel like you’re actually expected to land a few drops in the can. A can full of piss is not necessarilly better than a pissless can, and that is liberating. 

    Here's your reminder......

    • NFL Kickoff Game: The Kickoff Game is scheduled for September 5, televised nationally by NBC. If previous precedent is followed,  it will feature the Super Bowl LIII champion New England Patriots and will be hosted at Gillette Stadium. However, the Patriots could play instead in the season opener of Sunday Night Football, which would allow the NFL to schedule another game for the Kickoff Game.  One possibility may feature the Chicago Bears hosting the Green Bay Packers to begin the Bears' 100th season, which would be a reverse-fixture from Week 1 in 2018 where the Packers were the host to begin their 100th season.

    Actually.....if they wanted to do it right.....they would have the Bears play the Cardinals.    These are the only two teams left who also played in the very first NFL season in 1920.    Then they were the Chicago Cardinals and the Decatur Staleys.

    The Bears did move one year later...1921 to Chicago....and the Packers came into the league in 1921.....but it is only those Cardinals and Staleys/Bears franchises that have been around ab initio.

    53 Super Bowls blending the NFL and new(er) AFL together just before the offical merger.

    13. Will Hue Jackson be the head coach of the Browns at this time next year? (At the end of training camp 2019) If not, what date does he get fired?

    And the Big Dummy Award goes to... I suppose it goes to everyone who thought Hue would see the fourth season as Browns head coach. 

    The popular vote was 8 yes 4 no which shows how those things can work out......sometimes.  😕

    Hue must have lost the Electoral College...
