New Hall of Fame class

February 3rd 2013 11:30
The new NFL Hall of Fame class has been announced with Coach Bill Parcells getting into Canton along with Larry Allen, wide receiver Cris Carter, tackle Jonathan Ogden and defensive tackle Warren Sapp. They will be joined in Canton by seniors candidates Curley Culp and Dave Robinson.


I like the Warren Sapp induction because he was so dominant as was Larry Allen and Ogden. It was good to see some Hall of Fame love for the linemen. I hated Chris Carter because he is such an ass but he does deserve to be in Canton though not before Tim Brown. Once again Jerry Kramer was ignored despite being very deserving of the Hall of Fame.

My Super Bowl Prediction

February 3rd 2013 11:20
This could be one of the best Super Bowl’s ever if you like old school hitting and a nice running attack from both teams. The fact that the Harbaugh brothers are coaching against each other is remarkable.

My Super Bowl prediction is that the 49ers will win the game 27 to 24 and a missed David Akers field goal will hurt them but not cost them the game. I think San Francisco is the more complete team and that their special teams will get a return touchdown in the Super Bowl.

The aging Ravens defense just won’t be fast enough to contain the 49ers offense and I think Flacco will get roughed up by the defense of San Francisco

New article slamming Cam Newton

December 5th 2012 23:54
Cam Newton has been playing better of late so of course a CBS Sports story comes out about how disliked he is around the league. Apparently he offended some people at last year’s Pro Bowl so of course the story comes out now. Here is a link to the story by Pete Prisco.

I have doubts that Cam Newton’s own teammates even like and wrote about it on my Carolina Panthers blog earlier this season. His team seems to let him get up off the ground by himself when he is sacked on most occasions.

That being said I question the timing of the article about Cam Newton being a diva. It appears that Newton has been trying harder of late to be a team player for the Carolina Panthers who have enough trouble without more scrutiny being placed on their young quarterback.

Former NFL defensive tackle Brenston Buckner has been named the Head Coach of the Charlotte Speed. That is the new Professional Indoor Football League team located in the Queen City. Buckner played for the Steelers, 49ers, Bengals and the Carolina Panthers in his long NFL career. Brenston Buckner has served as an intern coach with the Steelers as well as coaching individual NFL defensive linemen. Brenston Buckner may be best known in Charlotte for having a successful radio show on WFNZ with former NFL offensive lineman, Frank Garcia.

Recently the Charlotte Speed had some open tryouts and plan to have more in the near future. No word on whether Coach Buckner intends to sign the 40 year old man who smokes Newport’s and passes out after warm-ups

Free week one NFL game picks

September 4th 2012 13:33
These are my game predictions for week one of the 2012 NFL season. My free week one NFL game picks are for straight game picks with no point spreads. I do these every year and usually come out around 60 percent correct so take em with a grain of salt.

Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants

Jonathan Stewart gets a new deal

August 12th 2012 10:35
The Carolina Panthers have signed running back Jonathan Stewart a five year $23 Million contract extension. Just a year ago the team gave DeAngelo Williams a five year $21 Million deal.

I am a fan of the Carolina Panthers and love both Stewart and Williams but this is a bad deal for the team. In a passing league the Carolina Panthers are loading up on running backs and linebackers. Are the Panthers in a time warp? This may have worked well back in the 1980’s but not so much now in a cap salary era

Penn State nailed by the NCAA

July 23rd 2012 14:36
Penn State has been slammed by the NCAA for their role in covering up the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse. Penn State has been fined $60 Million and Joe Paterno has lost the wins by the team from 1998 to 2011. The school also loses 20 scholarships per year for four seasons. Current Penn State players can transfer to other schools with no penalty.

It is just a shame that Joe Paterno died before he could see what he did to his school by covering up Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of children. The whole thing stinks to high haven as Penn State sacrificed kids so they could win football games

Team outlook: Cleveland Browns

July 17th 2012 01:27
It's that time of the year. Another Quarterback change, which should be no surprise since they are rather impatient with people at that position. One season is not enough time to determine anyone will be good or not. I do believe it takes time. With it being in the AFC North, don't expect a playoff push at all. In fact, they're probably going to do what they have been doing for years.

I've heard about the overnight success and the 49ers being an example. I say to that who in the NFC West is a real threat to them? They have nobody that can compete with them at this moment. It's much easier to have an "overnight" success if you're not stuck in the same division with the Steelers and Ravens. The Benglas might be a better argument but that team is so hard to figure out, you don't know what you're going to get every year from them.

Drew Brees got richer and now he is going to be a New Orleans Saint for the rest of his career probably. I was surprised the New Orleans Saints waited to long to resign Drew Brees who is the best quarterback in franchise history.

With the whole bounty gate scandal the Saints didn’t need to make their fans even angrier by low balling Brees on his contract. It is also to their benefit for Brees to be happy and wanting to be the leader of his team

The San Diego Chargers need Phillip Rivers to bounce back in a big way. Rivers had a good year by most quarterback’s standards in 2011. Rivers completed over 62 percent of his passes for 4,624 yards and 27 touchdowns. Phillip Rivers did throw 20 interceptions in 2011 and just didn’t look like himself.

The days of handing off to LaDainian Tomlinson are over and the team needs Phillip Rivers to bounce back in a big way. Ryan Matthews is a capable runner but the Chargers offense lives and dies with Rivers
