In order to keep my sanity, I have decided to blog more (not to mention it really helps the typing fingers). So I decided to start by talking about some things in the NFL that have caught my (and most) people's attention during the preseason that will hopefully have at least some impact when the regular season kicks off with the rematch of last year's NFC Championship. ONWARD!
Favre - Did you really think it was over? It will be "over" when the word is spelled "ovre". Brett Farve's return to football shouldn't really surprise anyone, but it should excite everyone. There must be a reason why the 2008 10-6 Vikings became the 2009 12-4 Vikings. Not a huge improvment, to be sure, but one that undoubtedly occured from Favre's resurgence as a QB that could be stalled this year from injuries to key players.
WTF? - The big question for me is what the hell is going on in Denver? I honestly do not have enough time to list all the key players lost to injuries on the team. Each one throws a major wrench in Josh McDaniels's plans to make the playoffs (and more importantly, not look like a douche). Even Tim Tebow (I'm not calling him "The Mile High Messiah") couldn't stay healthy. On an even stranger note, Kyle Orton is looking sharp? Wha-? Sigh, just not our years folks. Just not our year.
Please are shut upz about teh peeplez? - Look, it's way too early to place any faith in any team from any evidence. It's the damn preseason, not the bye week. So when I hear someone rave about what a good team the 49er's are becoming or that Matt Ryan is the best fantasy quarterback sleeper, I get a little annoyed at it. Please, people, this isn't what football is about. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the glory of the sport that is football.
J-E-T-S.... - Wow. And I thought Kanye's ego was big. I'm not gonna say the Jets won't succeed, but it certainly doesn't help your stock by announcing to the the world you're going to be the Super Bowl XLV Champions. Let's just take it down a notch, huh? Maybe start by focusing on the ground-and-pound play that got you to the playoffs in the first place. Just saying.
T. Oh no Cinco. - Chad Ochocinco and T.O. on the same field? Bound to happen one day. But on the same team? To quote the Bible (incorrectly): "Whatever God kept seperate, let no coach EVER, EVER, EVER, bring fucking together." It's a scientific fact that both TO and OCHO's egos can be seen from space. Now try and get them to share the glory of a win. Try to get them to take the blame for an agonizing defeat. Try to get them to call it the Bengals, instead of what it really is, seasons two of "The T.O. Show" and "Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch". and no, they won't agree on the name either. The fact that they're friends doesn't really matter when it comes down to dollars and "sense" (pun most definitely intended). This one is gonna get juicy (sounded less gay in my head). Batman and Robin? More like Beevis and Butthead...
