We shall go on to the end of the season.
We shall fight in Philly,
We shall fight on the Tundras and Meadowlands,
We shall fight with GROWING confidence and GROWING strength in the Bay Area.
We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be.
We shall fight on the bayou, we shall fight in the dawg pound,
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.
We shall fight in H-town,
We shall never surrender!

-Sir Winston Overlord

As this year's Overlord, it is my pleasure to welcome you to another season of Garbage! It's a new year with some new blood. Green Bay, Philly and New Orleans will enjoy their inaugural season. Additionally Joe Wendler joins the ranks of the basement patrol. Colin will provide the color commentating this year so look for his not so weekly installment of Colin All Cocks! This year's theme, in case you haven't surmised, is Iron Maiden. There will be many Eddie sightings throughout the season. The site is nearly there and is a perpetual work in progress by myself and (mostly) Herr Leonard.

It's week 1 of the NFL season and not a moment too soon. For those who missed the payoff, here are the results of the draft:

Randie - NY Jets, Green Bay Packers

Lenny - Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans

Shawn - New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns

Joe - Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers

Any early season predictions? With the exception of Joe's Eagles, the rest of the pool is horrible. Shawn's guaranteed a split in week 1 as New Orleans travels to Cleveland. The only other bag game puts Joe Joe's Eagles at Sven's Texans. Here's the bag schedule:

New Orleans at Cleveland 1:00 p.m.
N.Y. Jets at Tennessee 1:00 p.m.
Philadelphia at Houston 1:00 p.m.
Chicago at Green Bay 4:15 p.m.
San Francisco at Arizona 4:15 p.m.
San Diego at Oakland 10:15 p.m.

Is it me or is it totally weird having 2 monday night games? Whatever. Peace out baglovers!

Let the baggage begin!
