Joe Paterno has died

January 22nd 2012 15:35
Joe Paterno has passed away from lung cancer at the age of 85. Joe Paterno of course is the winningest college football coach of all time and a Penn State icon. Joe Paterno was a legend but this will now bring back the Penn State sexual abuse scandal as well.

I would say it’s a shame that Joe Paterno died under such a black cloud but he did bring it on himself. Paterno didn’t do enough to stop his assistant coach Jerry Sandusky from molesting boys and eventually Paterno was fired from Penn State.

You do wonder if Joe Paterno would be dead today if he hadn’t been fired at Penn State. I wonder if he gave up on life after what happened there. I do hope the media will find time to talk about the positive achievements of Joe Paterno now that he has died.

Where would Peyton Manning play besides Indianapolis?

January 12th 2012 03:42
I got to thinking about what teams would be a good fit for Peyton Manning if he leaves the Colts. What teams other than the Colts that Manning may want to play for. First I don’t think Peyton Manning will leave the Indianapolis Colts, I think he is done and will retire before next season.

If Peyton Manning does return from injury I think he would play one more season for the Colts while Andrew Luck sits on the bench. I did find it interesting however that Archie Manning hinted that neither Luck nor would Peyton Manning enjoy the scenario. If the Colts don’t draft Andrew Luck to appease Peyton Manning then they are crazy. Manning was slipping a bit before he was injured and don’t have much time left. So I will list the teams that would be a good fit for Peyton Manning if he does leave the Colts.


New York Jets

The Jets are the team most people are saying Peyton Manning would go to. I think the Jets would do it in a heartbeat. Rex Ryan loves media attention and a healthy Peyton Manning would make the Jets a Super Bowl contender. I am not sure if Peyton Manning would want to play for Ryan. I do think the Jets would have to cut or trade Sanchez if they get Peyton Manning.

The Washington Redskins

The Redskins would actually be the best first for Peyton Manning in my opinion. My girlfriend who is a Redskins fan brought it up and I laughed it off but it makes sense. Mike Shanahan had worked well with different styles of quarterback and would make his offense fit Peyton Manning. The Redskins have a good defense and Shanahan can coach up a running game. Also the NFC East is ripe for the picking and Peyton Manning could do well with the Redskins.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks are talented at most positions other than quarterback and play with great heart at times. A healthy Peyton Manning would put the Seahawks in good position to contend in 2012.

San Francisco 49ers

Jim Harbaugh and Peyton Manning teaming up would be interesting. The 49ers are very solid and would own their division against with Peyton Manning joining the team for a year. It may appeal to Manning’s sense of NFL history to join the team that Joe Montana and Steve Young had so much success with.

Tim Tebow throws for 316 yards against the Steelers

January 9th 2012 23:08
Tim Tebow and 316 is quite the topic today. Tim Tebow the Christian quarterback threw for 316 yards in the biggest pro game of his life when the Broncos upset the Steelers. Tebow also averaged 31.6 yards per completion.

Tebow who has a huge Christian following wears his religion on his sleeve making him popular and hated depending on your personal beliefs. Tim Tebow has said that John 3 : 16 is his favorite bible verse. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,”

Of course some religious people think it was a sign from God. The anti religious people say it’s a coincidence. The anti Steelers fans probably think the Steelers are sons of Satan and God smote them one. That one is possible lol.

I do think the Tim Tebow and 316 is a coincidence but it’s a very interesting one. Tebow had been having a bad time to the point of almost being benched. Then in the biggest game of his career he throws for 316 yard. Things that make ya go hmmmm.

Romeo Crennel hired by the Chiefs

January 9th 2012 16:42
Romeo Crennel has been hired as the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. Crennel was the defensive coordinator then interim head coach when Todd Haley was fired. This is another move in the Chief’s attempt to be the Patriots when they grow up.

Crennel was the defensive coordinator of the Patriots when they had their Super Bowl success. Crennel was less than stellar as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns before joining the Chiefs

Preview of Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens Playoff Game

This is my preview of the AFC Playoff Game between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore had a bye and the Texans stomped the Bengals to make it to this game.

The Houston Texans may be the surprise team in the playoffs. The Texans are down to their third quarterback in rookie T.J. Yates out of UNC. Yates went to the scouting combine to throw to receivers and not work out himself. Yet Yates has played well enough to win for the Texans. And backing up Yates are a couple of old timers in Jake Delhomme and Jeff Garcia

Mike Martz quts in Chicago

January 3rd 2012 22:56
Mike Martz has quit as the offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears and Lovie Smith will be on the hot seat in 2012. Mike Martz probably quit to avoid being fired and may struggle to find employment in the NFL in 2012.

Martz uses a medium to long pass based offense that depends on deep drops by the quarterbacks. This means without a quality offensive line your quarterback takes lot of hits. Martz refusal to use the tight end went to Carolina’s benefit as they traded for Greg Olsen at a bargain price

Matthew Stafford has arrived

January 3rd 2012 12:12
Matthew Stafford has arrived as an elite NFL quarterback just below the skill set of Brees, Brady and a healthy Peyton Manning. For the first time in his career Stafford stayed healthy and he produced in a big way for the Detroit Lions.

Matthew Stafford started all 16 games in 2011 for the Lions and put up huge numbers. Stafford completed 421 of 663 attempts for 5,038 yards 41 touchdowns and only 16 interceptions

Preview of the Falcons at Giants playoff game

January 3rd 2012 01:44
This is a preview of the NFC playoff game featuring the Atlanta Falcons at the New York Giants. The Falcons went all in with a trade to draft Julio Jones that will hurt their future. The Giants battled injuries and inconstant play all year to get it together late and make the playoffs.

The Falcons have made the switch from a power running team to a passing team with Matt Ryan, Dez White and Julio Jones. The Falcons offense ranks 8th in passing and 17th in rushing for the 2011 NFL season. The Atlanta Falcons defense can stop the run and rank 6th but rank 20th against the pass

Buc's and Rams fire their coaches

January 3rd 2012 01:22
The Rams have fired Steve Spagnuolo as their head coach and Billy Devaney as the General Manager. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired head coach Rahim Morris in a not unexpected move.

Morris couldn’t overcome a huge backslide by the Buc’s after winning 10 games in 2010. Spagnuolo struggled to win in a weak division despite pretty good offensive talent. Rumors have it that the Rams and Dolphins are in hot pursuit of Jeff Fisher to be their next head coach. To see a list of potential new head coaches click this link
