What time is it? Tell us Ray...GAME TIME!
In the immortal words of Mike Greenberg, we are back and better than ever! And by we, I could mean several we's......The NFL! Girls Just Wanna Watch Football blog (the royal we), MoJo, Peyton....but I don't mean the NFL referees! Nope, they are not back and the replacement refs are not better than ever... But hey! They have ref'd the always popular lingerie bowl, so we should be in for some good cat calls...oh, I mean whistles! But anyway....
This is a season full of intrigue.....Let's take a look at a few of this year's most pressing questions:
1. T2 or Pretty boy Sanchez - I wish I didn't have to even mention this, but there it is. Do I have a choice? As a responsible, serious football blogger, can I simply skip this mind numbingly dull topic? No, I can't. So, in a nutshell - the Jets have one good player who is indeed on an island - poor Darrelle Revis. Personally, I am harboring a not so secret hope that Sanchez defies all detractors (and the porous OL he has been stuck with) and kills it, thereby eliminating any hope that back-up Jesus becomes Grand Poobah here in NYC. I can't take it, or his devout followers. The best thing I have heard so far in the ENDLESS yapping about this questionably talented duo is that when Timmy speaks he bears a striking resemblance to Will Ferrell in Elf. If you haven't done, it...listen to them side by side. Insert Jesus for Santa and you have an exact match. Try it. Moving on.
2. Peyton is BAAAACK! Frankly, I am not sure the devout fans in Denver deserve an actual QB, but alas, John Elway was never a devout fan and, as a result....he went and found himself not only a real QB, but one of the best QBs....can his neck handle it? Um...it's Peyton Manning - does anyone really think he would come back if there was any doubt? I am not so secretly hoping that he tears it up in Denver and proves to the fans there who seem to have forgotten what real QB play is...well, what real QB play actually is. (Note to self, must work on transitions...). Plus, isn't everyone happy to have Peyton back (and better than ever) in commercials again?
3. Andrew Luck - the runaway number one pick. The future. Peyton part II. A sure thing. Uh, no pressure or anything. Good Lu...um, bueno suerte!
4. Michael Vick's kevlar vest - ok, this may not intrigue the ENTIRE league, but it intrigues me! C'mon, admit it...you are curious to see what happens if Vick can stay on the field the entire season. Combine a full season with the way he looked in the 2010/2011 season? The Vick experience would be back and...say it with me....better than ever!
5. Can Cam repeat? Sticking with mobile QBs....can Cam get better? Dare we say it? If he learns to throw with true accuracy...uh, he is Michael Vick plus 6 inches and about 60 lbs. Watch out league.
6. Can Tommy Uggs, Brandon Lloyd, Gronk, and Aaron Hernandez (he needs a nickname) sweep and and erase the pain and suffering for NE fans due to Ray Allen's defection? The Red Sox 2012 Bloody Valentine? I am overtly (no secret here) hoping they cannot....BUT....since we seem to be in the middle of a Yankees late season collapse, I will be generous of spirit and say that I hope they put up a good season...just not kissing the trophy at the end. Haven't we all seen Tommy Uggs kissing that damn thing one too many times??
7. Will the 24 hour detail on Dez Bryant free him to play up to his potential? Or will the young boy buck and find himself in more trouble? I am pulling for you Dez (and not just because I picked you up in my FFL)...
8. RGIII, already has a cool nickname, has a smile ready for the cameras, Mike Shanahan actually seems to LIKE him. Redskins are probably doomed. Put I am pulling for you RGIII!
9. Will the Saints prove that the coach is actually more of a figurehead than anything else? Do you think coaches around the league are all slightly worried that the Saints are going to be just find without Payton? Belicheck to Brady - don't even think about donning this awesome, cut off sweatshirt. You aren't half the man to fill this out....
10. And finally, the one my devoted readers have been waiting for....will TO play in the league this year? So he dropped some balls in pre-season...that I could have caught. So? He has always buttered up the gloves a bit before games...but did that stop him from being the 2nd all time leader in receptions? Nope. Pete Carroll, bad move. Rest of the league - come on! I mean, NYJ, do you really have better options? Think about it.
Bonus question: Is there anyone in the league who motivates more than Ray Lewis? You think so? Think again. Watch this and then ask yourself one question......WHAT TIME IS IT? GAME TIME! Time to buckle up your chin straps. Are you ready? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0ysMOV8TYU
Glad to be back!
Thoughts to the NYY - they are swooning...UGH!
