The NFL is ready to start and every team thinks it has a chance to win the Super Bowl before Week 1. Our computerized power rankings say otherwise and you can bet that one of these top ten teams will be there in the end.

Rank	Team		Power Points
1		The Saints are still the team to beat.	0.846
2		They were an uncharacteristic Peyton Manning mistake from winning it last year. They are still the AFC’s best.	0.917
3		Wade Phillips is likely coaching for his job again	1.917
4		We have to wait and see if Aaron Rodgers can win the big game. He has done everything else.	2.917
5		If they can handle things until they get truly healthy, they’ll be around playoff time	3.000
6		The Jets are the sexy pick to win the Super Bowl after last seasons improbable run, but Mark Sanchez still has to convince me.	3.500
7		The tough part for Norv Turner is turning talent into a title	3.667
8		Baltimore isn’t getting any younger on defense but it’s still a feared unit. The offense has more weapons	3.833
9		The defense has concerns, but they will score a ton	3.917
10		If the Falcons stay healthy, the Saints could have their hands full in the NFC South.	4.583
11		The schedule sets up well and the defense is the biggest asset. If the offense can flourish with TO, look out	5.750
12		Philadelphia is relying on a new quarterback for the first time in forever and playing in arguably the toughest division in football	6.083
13		The Steelers hope to come away with a 2-2 record before their bye week and the return of Big Ben	7.000
14		Can the Texans finally make a postseason run? They have been oh so close the last three years.	7.167
15		The Dolphins are the San Francisco 49ers of the AFC. They hit you hard on both sides of the ball.	7.417
16		The defense was pulverized with injuries last year, they will be better this year.	7.667
17		The 49ers should be able to unseat the Cardinals with a strong defense and running game.	8.250
18		Vince Young came in and went 8-2 to finish while Chris Johnson is the best in the business. Now to see how they do for a whole year.	9.000
19		The Cardinals coaches think this is their most talented team. It’s too bad it might all go to waste because of quarterback play	9.250
20		Matt Moore has plenty of playmakers on offense at his disposal.	10.167
21		Donovan McNabb and Mike Shanahan will make the Redskins competitive. But they play in a tough division	10.667
22		Jay Cutler looked horrible in preseason. For this team to have any chance at making the playoffs, Cutler has to get better.	10.750
23		The loss of starting OLB Elvis Dumervil has to be devastating to as team that cannot afford injuries.	10.917
24		Jason Campbell is an improvement but how big is still undetermined	12.000
25		We have already begun the debate on weapons, protection and quality of quarterbacking.	12.667
26		There just isn’t enough talent on either side of the ball for Cleveland to make serious improvement this season	13.583
27		Pioli did a nice job of addressing some of the needs on offense in the offseason, but there’s still the issue of getting better play out of QB Matt Cassel.	13.667
28		Matt Stafford and Jahvid Best are nice building blocks on offense. They will be in a lot of shootouts	14.000
29		The receiver position still remains as a big issue, but at least they have an exciting rookie in Mike Williams	14.083
30		I’m all for new head coaches getting their own personnel, but this is ridiculous. Do they still have the same cheerleaders?	14.333
31		The good news is rookie C.J. Spiller might be the next Chris Johnson, and they will likely have a top 5 pick in next April’s draft.	14.500
32		Sam Bradford’s development (so far) gives the Rams reason for optimism heading into Week 1 but he cannot do it alone.	15.750

Ran across this today and I am overjoyed to be quite honest. This is why no matter how bad things seem to get, there is still hope for us as a people. Do me a personal favor and buy someone you don’t know who is in line with you somewhere a cup of coffee or soda once a week. They won’t be the lucky ones, you will. Trust me on that. – Michael

Magadheera is the largest budget telegu movie ever made. This action scene is better than most of Tom Cruise’s vehicles lately. It’s titled hilarious, but what it is is awesome. This movie won a ton of awards at the 2009 filmfare awards.

Killers

Killers has been murdered by most film critics, and the box-office receipts haven’t been too impressive either. But that’s kind of a bad rap. Granted, it isn’t likely to make many year’s best (or even month’s best) lists, but this is an entertaining little diversion that at the very least offers an appealing cast, a few laughs, and some cool chase scenes. Katherine Heigl plays Jen, who, having recently been dumped by her boyfriend, is vacationing in Nice with her parents (Tom Selleck and Catherine O’Hara). Enter Spencer (Ashton Kutcher), a hired assassin (hey, it’s a comedy) who happens to be on the scene for a job. The couple’s cutesy flirting turns into a romantic dinner, which leads to some heavy drinking… and before you know it, Spencer has renounced the killing gig, married Jen, and moved back to her hometown in the States, where he becomes a "corporate consultant." Three years later his past catches up to him, as we knew it would, and a seemingly limitless array of hired guns emerges from the woodwork, intent on collecting the $20 million bounty that’s been put on Spencer’s head. Exactly why this is, and who’s responsible for it, are secrets revealed only at the end, although perspicacious viewers will no doubt have seen it coming. In the meantime, Spencer’s revelation of who he really is and Jen’s reaction to it are mildly reminiscent of the Arnold Schwarzenegger-Jamie Lee Curtis relationship in True Lies, as issues of trust, safety, and Jen’s newly discovered pregnancy complicate Spencer’s attempts to keep the two of them alive while he tries to figure out what’s going on. Director Robert Luketic displays a sure hand during the action sequences, but he’s working with a thin script and a pair of attractive young actors whose chemistry doesn’t exactly burn up the screen. Those are serious drawbacks, but all in all, there are far worse ways to kill a couple of hours than watching Killers.
