Santonio Holmes is gangsta

Santonio recently stated that he used to sell drugs when he was 6 or 7 years old and no longer does pot. Yeah, I remember once when I was about six how me and the boys got rolled up on by some dudes on hot wheels wanting to jack us for our dope. Thing is they didn't know we had loaded super soakers in our Thundercat undies. Yeah, we broke them off real proper. Santonio, you are a Wide Receiver, not 50 cent. I know it helps to come off gangster and hard but dude, at least make it believable.

NFL Policies

The Commissioner says he is going to take his time in the Vick ruling on when and if he plays football again. Now I have already spoken about this but it seems like it is going too far after the Stallworth decision. At this point, it seems to me like Vick is the child everyone loves to beat on. You have Stallworth who was sentenced to a whole 30 days in prison for making the decision to drive drunk and possibly high. Nobody forced him into making that choice and a man died because of his decision. Yes he is out of football, but that seems like the actual punishment in place of what our wonderful court system handed to him. Then you have Vick, whom has served a year in prison for the death of some dogs, and now is being given a further sentence on when he will be allowed to play football. As I said before, I know to many there is no difference, but a human life is worth less than a dog?? It is good to know we have our priorities straight.

Friday Quick news

T.O. is going to return to the show nobody is watching "Superstars". Apparently another "celebrity" contestant was hurt and T.O. is making a return with his pimp, err partner Joanna Krupa.

Joe Jurevicius is suing the Browns for causing his stapf infection. He says they did not use sterile practices and used the same instruments on multiple athletes without cleaning them. Now that is a quality organization. You are talking about shit that even some High School programs don't allow. I see the minimum wage attendants at World's Gym wiping down weights throughout the day and you are telling me the medical staff in Cleveland is reusing medical tools?

Reports are that Favre purchased a home in Minnesota......I don't know why this is even news but.....

Fantasy rankings coming soon

Given the Fantasy season is creeping upon us, I will be releasing a daily rankings breakdown by position coming in the next few days so stay tuned.

My First.

I finally received my firt HATER! It's like losing my virginity all over again. So, in honor of this moment I am posting it up only this one time. I am also posting up my response. Please enjoy everyone and I promise this is the one and only time I will do this. I mean come on, didn't you show off the first chick you...Uh, maybe not, but here it is anyway.

David's Comment:
For someone who thinks the Broncos are a laughing stock should look at their own blog. What a pathetic excuse for writing. You should apologize to the english language.

Response:
AWWWWW! My first hater. You are obviously an angry Bronco fan. How about this, if you are going to come back with "dude you can't write and don't know english" then at least learn proper sentence structure. I know you never finished the ol GED but lesson #1..The English language is not a person so therefore I can't apologize to it. #2, after the work stock you need a pronoun of some sort...maybe.. you, they, I, etc. Does stock look at the blog???? #3 If you have not figured it out yet English is CAPITALIZED. Ironically the only sentence you were almost correct on was the pathetic excuse for writing. Sorry your team is going to be in the basement for the next few years but thanks for the visit. The whole point of a blog is opinion numb nuts. Please come back and bash me some more so that I may teach you how to use the English language. (Or at least use spell check!)

Where will they go?

Brandon Marshall's agent says the Broncos have agreed to trade him. As with yesterday, both him and Plaxico now seem to be prone to join a team within the month. So, where will they go?

For Marshall, the no brainer fit is Chicago. He gets re-united with Cutler and the Bears definitely have the cap room. I don't see how he goes elsewhere. The Jets are a bad fit due to the fact he is not going to want a rookie or Clemens throwing to him in a run first offense. The Bucs could be interested in him but why go there when he knows Cutler and they can pretty much get rolling immediately. Looks like the Bears are Super Bowl contenders if they do pick him up.

For Plax, the Jets have stated they don't want him anymore (supposedly) which is a way of saying they do want him. However, I think he goes Tampa due to the fact that he knows Derik Ward, will have a veteran QB tossing to him (Leftwich). And will have another receiver and tight end to take the focus off of him. The Bucs also have the money to shower him and they are looking to stave away all out rebuilding until Freeman is ready. The Ravens are a possibility but I think he winds up in Tampa.

Off season Questions

What is turning out to be one of the more interesting off seasons, Brandon Marshall has now requested a trade from Denver. If anyone saw the news on Friday, they may recall that Marshall was seen leaving the facility with boxes in hand. Seems like a definitive statement to me. Only problem is he just had hip surgery and there seems to be no real gauge of how he has recovered. I am sure at his age he is good to go but it is always a risk taking any player off of surgery. There should be no lack of interest and fantasy wise this could only help Marshall owners if he does go somewhere else.

Plaxico Burress' court date has been pushed back and it looks like he will be okay to play the season. Here is another guy who can instantly make a team a contender if put in the right situation. All they would have to do is buy him a trigger lock and holster.

Irvin giving advice to Favre

Irvin says Favre is 100 years old and should hang up the cleats for good. Nothing like an ex-con drug addict who jumps on any chance he can to floss about himself to give advice. Especially when it comes to retirement. Dude has a reality show which is turning out to be stolen from a few guys who brought the idea to him a few years ago. He opens his ignorant yap to anyone who will print it and has exchanged cocaine for attention. I get what he is saying but how about someone with more respectability giving their take.

Truth comes out

A few interesting comment came out over the weekend.

Ochostinko stated he did not lift one weight or do one bit of training last off season because he was focused on his contract issues and getting out of Bengal hell....Nothing like showing your maturity and work ethic. Great idea, let me sacrifice a season, risk injury (which he did deal with) and prove all the hacks right by not doing anything. He is a player on the downside and Carson seems happy without him.

Jerry Jones missed his calling in life by being a team owner. He was quoted as saying he is interested in bringing Adam "Pacman" Jones back to Dallas. Why is he an owner when he really would make a great prison Warden? The guy loves taking on problem children and somehow thinks he can change them.

Favre is wondering if his arm is ready or will be ready to come back and play. I was a big supporter of Favre and defended his actions, but I now believe the haters who say he loves the drama. Make a decision and let your play talk. He is destroying his rep with the constant back and forth.

Leinart growing up?

So it seems Matt Leinart is trading in the pink vodka for a playbook. Instead of banging every So-Cal chick that walks and glossing over himself he is actually finding a mentor in no one else but another super model banging QB in Brady. Although Brady can actually do that since he is already a Hall of Fame QB. Apparently they both worked out together on the UCLA campus where Leinart took pointers from Brady on mechanics and using his noggin for once. I wonder if the Ryan Leaf comparisons had anything to do with it? Or maybe he is finding his celebrity slipping and wants it back but realized he might have to produce to be a star this time around. Either way it is good news for Cardinal fans whom need that future QB since Warner is on his last years. Fantasy wise he may be a decent late late round pick up in a keeper league but nothing more until he proves otherwise.

Westbrook Surgery not so minor

Reports from Philly are that the procedure Westbrook had on his ankle is not as minor as a bone spur but not necessarily major surgery. Also, the team source stated that the knee scope he had earlier was not as minor as reported also. No shit! Even with teams being ultra secretive about injuries, everyone knows that the use of Westbrook was bound to take it's toll eventually. After his issues last season it was apparent he was starting to slowly break down. Westbrook has heart and is a great player, but it looks like the beginning of the end. Just when they trade Buckhalter too. Fantasy wise he is a scary proposition right now because we really won't know how well he is until week 1. Even if he is healthy it is risk because of his work load and there is no clear cut stud behind him. I think this hurts Philly's chances at making that Super Bowl run this year even though it is very early to write anyone off.

Vince Young wants trade

So VY wants to be the man again. He is now talking trade since he believes he should be the starter for the Titans. The guy does have talent no doubt, but he is not a starting QB. He had his chance, then had a meltdown. He could possibly have success in a "Wildcat" offense or a run first team. But given that it is only a matter of time before Defenses shut down the gimmick Wildcat , he really has limited options. Maybe if he were a little bit more humble and didn't believe in his self hype he could have realized he needed time to grow. Everyone deserves a second chance, but this is the NFL and second chances are rare. Fantasy wise he is irrelevant even in keeper situations. Vince Young should be forgotten, another QB who had it all but let the opportunity slip.
