About Me:
Live in far west Texas, but can't stand the Cowboys! My team is the Dolphins and no other. Also: hate the Yankees. If I upset you Jets and Pats fans, well, too bad. I'm a Fins fan. Also like Chargers and Bolt Backer 21 is my fave blogger (other than me, of course).

Just when you get used to hearing about Favre to Minnesota every day for three months, they change it to Michael "Dog Killer" Vick, who is going to go anywhere from Dallas to Frisco to Miami to Green Bay...where, of course, we get to hear about his competition with Favre when the pack takes on the Vikes.
I'm not rooting for either one.
Vick in Dallas? What the heck. They no longer have TO to distract them. But this is the Cowboys we're talking about, and back in the day the Pokes always had a QB controversy. Does anyone here remember Staubach vs. Craig Morton? Meredith vs. Morton? So who do you like, Romo or Vick? Both are overrated IMHO.
Frisco? They already have two QBs that no one ever heard of, so why not? Miami? They already have Pat White to do the Wildcat.
Steelers, maybe. After all, what if Big Ben really did do what Andrea McNulty said he did?
Who is the most overrated QB in the NFL now? (Who isn't Peyton Manning, that is...) If you said Tom Brady, guess what, you are correct. Now Brady is perhaps the best in the league, but the way the media says it you's think he was the Second Coming of Christ! That tom Brady was some kind of unbeatable football "god" and there is no way he won't put his team in the Super Bowl, just because the last time most of us saw him (outside the Super Bowl and the grip of Bernard Pollard) he really WAS a football "god"!
Alas, Brady really really is mortal. Sorry to bust your bubble, Pats fans. He ain't taking your team to the Super Bowl this year.
And who is the most underrated QB? It can only be Chad Pennington, who didn't even make ESPN's top 20 QBs!
Would you believe Kyle Orton, Trent Edwards, Matt Schaub (who has never played a whole season), Sage Rosenfels (what a joke! did you see him singlehandedly lose to the Colts last year?), Jake Delhomme, David Garrard, and Derek Anderson were rated above him?
Must be because New Yorkers, Jets fans, that is, didn't see him as the next Namath and most of the media is in New York...or, as some Fins fans believe, ESPN is filleed with Jets and Pats fans, such as Chris Berman, or whatshisname.
I mean, Sage Rosenfels? Kyle Orton? Heck they might as well say Dan Orlovsky is better!
My dad, Alfred R. Trippel, was born almost 90 years ago and he died in August, 2005, from staff MRSA he got while in the hospital getting his slipped disks fixed. Well, "they" won't say that but that's what I think.
A diehard NFL "New York football Giants" fan his whole life (as well as baseball Giants 'til they moved to Frisco, and also the Brooklyn Dodgers--and he hated the Yankees, pure and simple...one thing he passed on to me)...well, for all the grief the Giants gave him in the latter 60s and 70s, until Parcells took over and pretty much got rid of the "loser" in the Giants pretty much for good (okay, LT had something to do with it as well), they rewarded him with a few Super Bowl victories, the biggest being, of course, Supe 42 over the team I like to call the "Patsies."
And, on this day, the 89th anniversary of his birth on July 7th, 1920, I say "thank you, dad" for loving me, encouraging me to be a football fan, a few other things, and also for your Giants keeping my Dolphins the still only undefeated team in NFL history.
Now I was thinking about a headline for this on the order of that old slogan during the OJ Simpson era: Miami has the oranges, but Buffalo has the 'Juice'!"
But I couldn't come up with anything quite so clever. Sorry about that. I'll just have to settle for the headline I used.
Now let's see: New England has Randy Moss, who, because of Bellichick, who wouldn't put up with Moss's old prima donna behavior, isn't quite the locker room talk these days, but still...
Miami has Joey Porter, who isn't a prima donna but a loudmouth. In fact, the closest the Dolphins have to a prima donna is Paul Soliai, a backup Defensive Tackle who probably won't make the 2009 roster. Neither Parcells nor Sparano will tolerate these types...but then again, what if Jason Taylor comes back? But Soliai?? Yeah, I know, Bills fans...you've never heard of him.
The New York Jets, who let go of Laveranues Coles and saw Brett Favre retire, don't have prima donna players, but Rex "the Jets will win the Super Bowl this year!" Ryan just might qualify if his new Ravens-like defense doesn't take hold in New York.
Well, I know how you all have felt left out what with all those whoop-tee-doo signings by the Jets on defense, Miami shoring up its offensive line and secondary with big-money FA signings, and that Pats Matt Cassel trade to KC for a 34th pick. You can stop being jealous now, because...
You Have Just Signed the Biggest Prima Donna currently in the NFL... Maybe Ever!
Good Luck, Bills, with Terrell Owens! Good luck, Dick Jauron, trying to control his "distractions," and Good Luck Bills Fans, when "number 81" breaks your hearts!
So what if the Texas A & M Aggies couldn't play football this past NCAA Division 1 season?
How many Aggies does it take to save a dog's life?
A whole "herd" of veteranarians, I guess...but the dog they saved, a 2004 Best-in-Sporting-Group at the AKC Westminister Kennel Club Dog Show, Sussex Spaniel named "Stump", has not only won this year's BEST IN SHOW at the ripe young age of 10--the oldest dog ever to win Westminister's Best-in-Show--but has also proved that
Texas A & M rules!
Go Aggies!
And good luck and best wishes, Stump!

Snorky has learned that someone in the NFL somewhere is talking about expansion. They'd almost have to bring in four more teams to make it work (or, 3 more teams, while dropping the Detroit Lions!)
I have a better idea. To heck with expansion, and in this economy...
So if the NFL wants to change things around, why not re-do the 2002 divisional realignment?
