Sorry to the one or two people who have been waiting with bated breath...its been too long! And so much to talk about!!
Where to begin. When writing the last post, Namdi was most likely heading for Broadway and the J-E-T-S, jets, jets, jets. Plax was supping with his nemesis, Tom, just before heading for heading down (up?) to meet with Omar Epps, aka, Mike Tomlin in Pitt and then faux heading to the bay all to do what? Sign with the JETS! What? Who saw that coming? So where the JETS lost out to the EAGLES they won by beating out the Giants/Steelers/Niners. As far as I am concered, that 6'5" gun toting, sweatpants wearing, self shooting receiver is a gamble. A gamble that could pay off or just pay (he got guaranteed $$$ from the JETS).
But really, lets talk Eagles. The team that, for years, had cobwebs around its wallet has decided to literally go for broke....Dandy Donovan is definitely taking this personally. How could he not? Not that Mike Vick the NFL's prodigal son has risen again in Philly they decide to surround him with greatness. What did they do for Donny? Gave him TO - he blew that and then a cast of misfits that couldn't find their way out of a paper bag (no disrespect to Brian Westbrook who was a hell of a running back - when he was on the field). Vince Young as back-up? Look out NFC East, you don't have a prayer.
Speaking of the NFC East - what the hell is wrong with the NY Giants? Do you think they are bitter because the SF Giants won the World Series and stole their moniker glory? Or maybe they woke up one morning and realized that Eli was their QB and said, eh, screw it. Osi? Pay the man. But Osi? Stop being a baby. It's just ugly on the otherside of the NY Football coin.
OK, now I have had a lot of requests to mention that religious kid who everyboy loves in Denver. Elbow? Crossbow? Oh right, Tebow! Leave it to CO to embrace the smiley religious kid over the guy who is, by all accounts, running all over Tebow in practice. Orton may not look like a star or smile like one, but rumor has it, he is playing a lot more like one. Broncos fans should chill on the Tebow-hype and start warming up to Orton. Hell, Miami will take him in a heartbeat. I hear that everytime poor Chad drops a ball, the crowd at practice starts chanting ORTON, ORTON.....tread lightly Colorado-ans (?), next thing you will know, Brady Quinn will be taking snaps!
Peyton Manning proved again that he is a class act - refusing the original salary offered (too high!), spend it elsewhere. Now, before we go too far, he isn't exactly in Latrell Sprewel territory (unable to put food on his table - sorry, random reference), Peyton and his family will be dining just fine.
Newsbreak! Randy Moss has quit on football (nothing new to the Oakland Raiders, they saw that act years ago). Please. He has quit until someone actually wants him! No one is offering him bubkus right now, so he faux retires until some dumbass desperate team thinks, "hey maybe we will get Moss 2008-style" and reaches out to him. Good luck with that! And PS, Chris Carter, get out of Randy Moss' ass. You are the BIGGEST suck-up I have EVER heard!
Oh, and how angry am I that the PUNTER from Minny and Aron Hernandez just gave up their numbers for their new "stars." I was relishing Ochocinco being printed over 82 (or some other number). Damn you Hernandez.
Ok, kind of have to go. So much more to report on....Marion Barber update - Da Bears. Snooze.
Food for my next blog...
The Saints are kind of looking awesome...Darren Sproles? Nice pick-up.....
Ok, gotta run - I have an underground poker game with A-Rod I have to get to! Big stakes tonight!
Peace out and....GO YANKEES :)
