Let the Tebow Era Begin!

Ok, I am back.  First things first.  My last post may or may not have implied that there was not a chance in hell the Yankees would lose to Detroit.  Um, well....since then....the Yankees lost to Detroit, Detroit lost to Texas and now Texas is losing to Albert Pujols in the World Series.  Look, if I were psychic, I would not be sitting on my couch on a Sunday writing this blog (no offense), I would be off doing something that rich people who won the lottery do on a Sunday.

Now, back to the NFL....
Yup, it's finally Tebow time!  Now, for all those Tebow supporters out there - don't get too excited by today's game....c'mon.  He is playing, essentially a home game against the WORST team in the league.  He SHOULD win.  Let's see what he does against Detroit NEXT week.  Now, if he loses....well....um...yeah. 

Off to merry old England to watch Chicago play Tampa.  What?  Is there anyone out there who understands the POINT of this England thing?  I just picture a lot of Americans who fly over to watch combined with some drunken English men who "come to" in Wembley saying, (cue the English accent a la, Noel Gallagher), "Wot?  Where am I?  Who are those blokes on the field and why are they wearing so much clothing?  Bollocks, this isn't football!  Give me another pint so I can make this game tolerable!"

Rough month for NFL coaches, no?  Sean Payton gets destroyed on the sideline, Harbaugh vs. Schwartz - the handshake heard round the NFL.  Children please.  Rex is still talking s&%$t but the Jets haven't backed up his swagger. 

Debut QBs this week:
HA!  I called it - Ponder in, McNabb out.  And McNabb is "surprised."  Really Diva?  Come on.  You're done!  Of course, Ponder in is the anti-Tebow start.  Really, poor guy has to face the undefeated Packers.  You know, deep down, DMc is hoping for a concussion or something so they have no choice but to go back to his Chunky Soup eating ass....

How about Carson Palmer in Oakland?  Will he?  Won't he?  The Raiders are relevant again, this is actually a big decision.  Hue Jackson said whatever decision he made would be followed by a large cup of Irish coffee.  Here's hoping that Bailey's is working now Hue!  Good luck!

Wimpy award of last week definitely goes to Jason Garrett and the Dallas Cowboys!  I mean, I know your man Tony has his ups/downs/fumbles/momentary lapses of judgement - but Jason, your lapse of judgement in letting Tommy Uggs get back on the field cost you the game.  Uh, have you watched the NFL for the past 10 years?  Brady is kind of legit.  I think giving him and Wes Welker a chance to score with 2 minutes left is like throwing Tom Brady into a club with two minutes left and wondering if he can pick up a woman before the lights come on.  I'm going with Brady in both cases.  Jason Garrett, from the time you have screwed TO to this call, your judgement is questionable. 

Speaking of TO......Scout's honor - he is coming  back!  (So says the "scout" himself, Drew Rosenhaus).  TO will be working out for teams and the media starting possibly as soon as Tuesday - where will he end up?  Some say Tennessee - he Kenny Britt is out for the season; some say he could be reunited with Carson in Oakland - hey, TO had a great season last year, clearly they had some chemistry.  How bout them JETS?  Rex plus TO (plus NYC), watch out world!  Hell, after the fumble just now by Dustin Kellar and the non factor of the sweatpants bandit....I think Santonio needs a buddy.  Bring it!

OK, the games have started, I have a new couch, I am about to get in posish for the day - to watch my fantasy team cruise to another victory and the crappy games that Time Warner cable has deemed worthy of showing...why do we get screwed with one game at 4PM?  Rude. 

Ok, sorry, next week will be more comprehensive about the actual league - like the continuing to surprise Lions, Niners and Bills.  Will anyone beat the Packers?  Ponder that.....The Eagles are on a bye week this week, thank God.   Ravens, quietly the best team in the AFC?  Food for thought.

Cheerio!

S

It's been too long!

My sincerest apologies for the delay.  I am sure that you, my faithful readers, have been continually logging in, hoping for a new post.  Wondering, when, oh when, is a new GJWWF post coming out?!?  Well, it's not that I haven't wanted to post, but for the past two weeks, I have been holding my breath....literally holding my breath hoping my man Michael Vick wasn't concussed (it's minor!), doesn't have a broken hand (it's bruised!), gets calls from the refs (he doesn't!).  It isn't easy to blog whilst holding one's breath.  So today, he's back, right?  He throws for a personal record 416 yards, 2 TDs and the Eagles....what?  The Eagles LOST!  Thanks to two missed FGs and a late game fumble....a non-concussed, bruised handed Mike Vick leads his Eagles to a loss....to the NINERS!  UGH.

Oh wait, there are other stories in the NFL, you say?  Tom Brady cut his hair!  My guess?  He took a look at himself pouting on the Buffalo sidelines after his 4th INT and said, good Lord!  I have got to cut that off.  Speaking of Buffalo - how about it!  3-1 and 1st in the AFC EAST!  They lost a heartbreaker today to....Cincy?  Uh oh.  Cincy?  They did humiliate the Pats though so if they don't win another game for the rest of the season, it was a successful season!

But wait, there's another success story out there....and it isn't Ocho Cinco!  How about them Lions!  4 - 0.  WOW!  One sentence....Stafford to Megatron!  I know there is more to it, but that is the fun part to watch!

How about that Cam Newton?  OK, he may or may not win games, but the kid can throw and he always keeps it exciting.  How do I know?  Steve Smith is on my fantasy team...

How about that Tony Romo?  He's a bum!  He's a hero!  Poor Tony. 

How about every sports announcer in the world owes Mike Shanahan an apology.  He saw it, he knew.  Diva McNabb was done.  Frankly, TO saw it first, but no one will admit that!  (Except maybe TO....).  How sad are the Vikings?  I mean, AP is AP and you can't win a game?  Sad.  But hey, at least he has eclipsed his 39 passing yards 1st game total.

How about Rex Grossman, sage?  I mean, he was mocked, not just by me either for saying the Redskins were a team to be reckoned with. Well guess what?  The reckoning is here.  They are pretty legit.  Better than the dream team, sadly.  I still believe in you Eagles!!! 

How about some perennial powerhouses looking a little long in the tooth?  Obviously, Indy.  So sad, turns out Peyton Manning should have won MVP EVERY year that he was in the league because they can't even play a high school team at this point.

Pittsburgh?  Ok, they are 2-2, but don't they look...well...OLD?  They just don't look like the Steelers of the past....stay tuned.

Now, time for my current all pro hot team:
QB:  Michael Vick; Tom Brady and March Sanchez backing up (now that he has cut his hair!  Finally).  Cam is on the bench for sure.
WR:  Megatron!  Larry Fitz and TO (ok, ok, but he will be back)
RB:  Tough, tough position.  Reggie Bush?  Is Lawrence Maroney still playing? What about Marion Barber?
TE:  Vernon Davis - despite his hair. 
Def:  Um, have you met me?  Ray Lewis!  James Harrison, Demarcus Ware! 

I would also like to finish this week's blog with a rant.  Chris Carter!  Who the hell made you the authority on everything?  Is it me or is he next only to Skip Bayless on the extremely annoying level.  Correct me if I am wrong, but at one point you were an alcoholic WR who was essentially kicked off the Eagles.  Be easy and remember where you came from.  Ugh.  Unless it's Randy Moss, he doesn't like you.

Finally, to the state of Michigan - the NFL gods have given you Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Eminem and Hung.  The Tigers aren't beating the Yankees.  Got that?  Despite Girardi's doing everything can to help you, you are not beating the Yankees!

Ok, gotta go.  I know this wasn't one of my best, but rest assured, I am back and will be better than ever (credit Mike and Mike).

See ya.

Go Yankees.
Peace.
