NFC West is so overrated.

Did you guys even watch the Rams at all last year? Do not let the 7-8-1 record fool you. They were warm piss. They also lost their only consistent, offensive threat.

The Cardinals were the worst team in football last year. I have no idea how they started off the season hot and beat the Patriots, but that 6-3 game against the Jets was the worst game in NFL history. To steal from the late Patches O'Houlihan, "it was watching a bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob."

Give me two other conferences in the NFC before the West. The Saints and Falcons are proven. The Packers will be strong as usual, and at least one, if not two, of the other squads will be good as well in the North. The Wild Cards will come from those two conferences.

So you only mention the Rams and Cardinals as to why the NFC West is overrated? Then go on to name the top 2 teams in the NFC South? I would take the top 2 of the NFC West over the top 2 of any other division in football.

Half the division is shite.

Saints and Falcons > Seahawks and 49ers IMO.

Packers and 2nd place in the North is probably about as good as those two.

Houston and Indy could be very strong.

I just do not believe in Seattle. It is far from clear cut how good they will be. There is not a single safe QB in that division. The defense is great at the top though.

I also think that all four teams in the North will be at least respectable.

Bucs and Panthers both have upside that the bottom half of the West lacks.

There's plenty to hate on ESPN about, but their late night SportsCenter isn't one of them. Thats where their best, most clever anchors are.

Any of those guys, Buccigross, SVP, Stan Verret, Neil Everett, Robert Flores could pull off what these two are attempting. They all do the funny, likable, self deprecating, not taking yourself too seriously, shtick, much better.

The Saints were 7-9 last year and had arguably the worst defense in the NFL
49ers beat the Falcons and the Seahawks played them very evenly on the road and lost on a last second long FG.

Both Seattle and SF show up before any other NFC teams do for Super Bowl odds this year.

I think the Rams could be pretty decent this year. Arizona was pretty terrible, but at least they have a QB that people actually recognize now.

Agreed, I don't think these two guys on FS1 can compare to those guys, except maybe Buccigross.

These guys seem to be trying way too hard and they are shaky as shite when it comes to doing the highlight reads. Having Gary Payton talk about football – AND LABELING HIM AS AN ANALYST – may be the stupidest thing done in sports television history.

Dan and Jay shite on anything ESPN even begins to offer.

It's crazy how little people know about Dan and Jay.

Wut?

Anyways, Dan and Jay have hosted the evening edition of SportsCentre for 11 years together including live in London for the Olympics and live in Vancouver for the winters.

Their chemistry is unmatched by any ESPN goofs they throw together and it's not even close.

So far this has basically been ESPN with worse anchors and more soccer highlights. Not impressed.

I'm sold on it, I knew Dan and Jay would trump anything else out there but it was a question of liking the coverage and setup of the show.

Passes all tests, I won't be going back to ESPN.
