Re: Power Rankings: ESPN
Without giving away my only tangible asset (my bi-weekly weekly Warpath Power Poll™) before it's ready (or, for that matter, started), I'd say that the brain trust at ESPN is bonkers about a few teams - Seattle is wildly overrated, having been the beneficiary of both a weak schedule and contract years for it's MVP RB last year; New England had measurable FA losses in Vinatieri and McGinest and weren't worldbeaters last year; and no one knows what bashing your head against a windshield and pavement is going to do to the nerve of Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. That being said, Redskins at #10 sounds like high preseason praise for our boys, especially given the history of disrespect at the four-letter network.
