Well raiders fans, your team has under perform once again this season. I think it would be wise if they turn the reins over to Russell. They are 2-6 right now, and the QB's they have (McNown/Culpepper) are not getting it done here. They are already a sorry team anyway so get ready for 2008 why don't yea! Where is Aaron brooks these days, or Walter, or that guy ya'll drafted in 2000. I forget his name! I will look it up later. Bottom line it is time to forget about 2007. It is not happening, and they need to start building for the future.
Well Jets fans you finally got what you wanted, now it is time for Kellen Clemens to show what he got! The Jets were not playing well, and it showed. I am wondering why did it take so long for Eric Mangini to realized that? The Jets have not been the same since Curtis Martin retire. I find this amazing considering the Jets went to the playoffs last season. They are way behind in the standings of the AFC East. They are likely to get a high draft pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Heck! maybe they should get the Patriots 2008 1st Round pick. No pun intended Jets fan, how bout them Giants 6-2 currently in the New York Bowl. Pennington is under contract for 4 more years, and I think the Jets should trade him in the offseason. I have a list of teams that can used his services.
Well Bears fans, you finally done something right, for once. But this was long over due on benching Grossman for Griese. This should have happen last season, what took so long? I for one would blame his coach Lovie Smith for this. But the coach got it right, even though its 1 season too late. They are 1-2 (won-loss record) right now, but still have a chance to save your season. Sadly, i do not see a return to the super bowl this year. Heck! I really did not think ya'll had a chance anyway. Griese is no better, but I don't understand you Bear fans wanting this guy to be your starting quarterback. He was not any good in Denver, Miami, or Tampa Bay (who have a bad history of keeping Quarterbacks). So I really don't see the Bears doing anything this season. Green Bay and Detroit are off to good starts already, and I think it will be tough to catch them at this point. Well Bear fans, get ready for a bad season. Hope the Cubs don't break your hearts like in 2003 (sorry! can't let that one go)
Wow! Charlie what a performance, i really have to commend on that performance vs. Pittsburgh. For a second there I could have sworn that was about the worst display at the quarterback position that I have ever seen. This is how I would sum up Fyre's play! Gets pulled in the 2nd Quarter, in favor of Derek Anderson (who did no better). 2 days later gets traded to seattle, and there is a stupid and pointless poll going around about when to put Brady Quinn in. That will not happen unless they really want him to play now. You know the Browns have not have had a stable QB since Tim Couch. Ouch! Browns fans i hate to say it, but it will be a long season for you. I guess all cleveland sports fans should look forward to the Indians getting beat in the playoffs in October. Well see ya on the flip side, and keep them dogs on the sideline. ruff! ruff!
I would like to commend the Oakland Raiders for being slopply, in there selection of picking Josh McNown instead of Daunte Culpepper. Oakland still did not win the game, but at least JaMarcus Russell is in camp. So that is the good news, what took so long?? I am wondering how this is going to play out for the Raiders. Culpepper had the better preseason than McNown, but yet they still went with McNown. I really don't understand that one. Is there any smart fans out there that can explain this one? Huh?? Anybody?
Well in a critical year for coach Jack Del Rio, he wanted no more of Byron Leftwich. He named David Garrard as his starting quarterback. It is definitely a surprise move, considering Del Rio is on the hot seat for this season. Del Rio better hope Garrard comes through for him, or else he will be out of a job. Dumping Leftwich is really not a good idea, at this point in time. Byron Leftwich is one of those quarterbacks like a Joey Harrington or a Daunte Culpepper. I think there are some teams that could use him, like Detroit, Minnesota, Cleveland, Atlanta, Tampa Bay (they have 4 QB's on there roster), St Louis, Denver, Green Bay (When Favre decides to retire), etc. Leftwich and Del Rio didn't see eye-to-eye on health issues, and the play on the field. How unfortunate for Leftwich, because he may not get another chance for quite some time. Is Jacksonville better off without Leftwich, or with Garrard at quarterback. Besides I don't see the Jaguars in the postseason, they have other issues to deal with! Maybe they should bring back Tim Couch. Oh What! he took steroids, or other performance enhancing drugs. Yep! we got another Barry Bonds on our hands. All those in favor of steroids raise your hands. All oppose get your little plastic cups ready for the golden shower
We knew all along that Michael Vick was guilty. So why did it take so long for him to confess to this mess. He now says that he did not kill any dogs, but admits to gambling and crossing state lines with the transfer of dogs. It really does not matter what he did, or didn't do. His playing career will have to be on hold, unless he gets banned by the league. I really can't seem to grasped why Vick tried to hold off on the plea, when his so-called homies told on him. But I blame the entire Falcons organization from the owner to teammates (past and present). They should have known about this, it really makes no sense whatsoever. Now the Falcons will suffer this upcoming season, because one man wanted to conduct a dog fighting ring. He isn't the only one, DMX (barry bonds look-alike) is also conducting a dog fighting ring. It will be interesting to see if they go after him for the same crime. Back to Vick, he should be banned like Pete Rose (that fraud of a baseball man). Vick wasn't a good quarterback anyway, so why are so many people defending him. I just don't get it, something doesn't sound right about this deal. He could potentially lose up to 3 seasons due to jail, and a pending suspension. So where are the dirty birds at, or where are the dogs at now. Maybe they should have been a tighter leach arould Vick, oh wait there was!!!
