And... IT'S FOOTBALL! Let's go Saints!

So. The NFL season kicks off tonight, actually, right now, as the Saints take on the Vikings. So thankfully, you're all going to miss the premiere of Vampire Diaries. Unless you're preteen or emo or really like lame vampires. At least True Blood has some gore and nudity in it.

Also, Jersey Shore might see it's ratings impa-nah, totally different audience. I'd wager the same for that Vampire Diaries. Nikita, though, on the CW, may suffer as it airs it's pilot. Apparently they're turning the show into more of a spy vs. spy feel rather than just an Aeon Flux clone. With some good action, you may be able to draw a male crowd to the show, but, with football start? I kinda see it dead in the water.

Granted, success on the CW is measured in inches, not yards, so it has a chance. As for my prediction? I expect Brett Farve to explode in a cloud of dust as the Saints literally cause him to spontaneously combust from so much pressure.

If not today, I guarantee1 that'll happen sometime this season.
1. Guarantee is not actually guaranteed and likely impossible.
