Eli better watch out–he’s next in line and he has a Super Bowl ring and the biggest contract in the NFL. However, his wife isn’t exactly looking like Kurt Warner ’s wife pre-makeover. Praise the Lord.

Bowl Projections — August 17
Posted by Brett Kincaid on August 17, 2009
With almost 3 weeks to go before the season starts, it only makes sense that we try to predict its end. We will update these periodically, moving to weekly updates by the middle of October.

Thank You!
Posted by Brett Kincaid on August 17, 2009
In the short time we’ve been publishing this blog (less than a month), we have received more than 20,000 visits to BlogHawgs.com. That far exceeds our hopes and expectations. We’ll have lots more fun things going forward (weekly predictions, the Select Seventeen (our version of the Top 25), and a fantasy football update), in addition to the daily links.
Please email either of us if you have suggestions about how we can make this site more fun. We have no agenda other than to keep things light, entertaining, and perhaps mildly funny.
Thank you!
