This is probably the most exciting division in football and the location of a lot of my fantasy players. Everybody seems to hate each other and everybody is at least good. I definitely have preferences between teams in this division. Picks, man.
1) Dallas Cowboys
It's not even worth saying that I hate this team anymore. They are now a caricature of themselves with this roster full of unbelievable assholes and a milquetoast at quarterback. Patrick Crayton likes to call out teams they just lost to, Terrell Owens cries when people make fun of his Quarterb...cough, boyfriend, cough cough...Quarterback, Wade Phillips likes to say that he had the better team after a playoff loss...they are the most hate-able team of my football-watching lifetime. The problem is, they are too talented not to win this division. The good news is, they aren't so talented that they will necessarily win the Super Bowl with a team full of I-don't-even-know-whats. I think that any loss to a team in this division could make them all hate each other for at least a few weeks and they have no chance at a Super Bowl Title. Too volatile and too much bad Karma.
Fantasy Cowboys: None (boycott)
2) Philadelphia Eagles
This might be my favorite team in this division. Not a lot of quarterbacks have taken more shit in their day than Donovan McNabb. Rush Limbaugh accused the media of promoting McNabb to be good just because he was black, which could have been an insightful comment...if McNabb weren't, in fact, actually good. Then T.O. ruined that team pretty effectively, and remember when the NAACP took T.O.'s side in that situation?? What the hell!??! He gets hurt on a yearly basis and when his backup steps in and plays well, there is ALWAYS conversation about trading McNabb. The truth is, when healthy, McNabb is probably a top 5 quarterback but he just gets screwed at every opportunity. Two years removed from an ACL injury is always better than one. Eagles get Wild Card spot number 1 in the NFC.
Buddies' Eagles: Brian Westbrook and Asante Samuel
3) New York Giants
You can't not like this team for what they pulled on the Patriots last year. One of the best things ever done in human history without question. Unfortunately, they lost Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan but they did add the lack of Jeremy Shockey, so maybe it'll even out. All those young guys on the defensive front line are going to have become great without Strahan's help pretty soon to win this division, but I think the confidence of winning a Super Bowl will help Eli get the G-Men the second Wild Card playoff spot in the NFC.
Giants of Fantasy: Brandon Jacobs, Amani Toomer, Justin Tuck, and Steve Smith (wow)
4) Washington Redskins
I dislike this team for an odd reason. It's the same reason (along with others) that I hated the New Jersey Nets when they kept making it to the NBA Finals. Neither team has a chance to put up a fight in their current endeavor and neither team is the least bit entertaining. Quit making the playoffs and give someone who isn't so boring a chance. If the top three teams let The Skins make the playoffs, shame on them.
Fantasy 'Skins: None
