NFL playoffs are right around the corner, and the Breeders’ Cup Kids’ Day on November 11th is just around the corner. This is the time of year fans have been waiting for. The games are weeks and there are some massive unlisted names attached to upcoming games. Names like Brett Favre, Randy Moss, andJustin Harrell could parody the grandstanding persona required to enter the swimming pool, but then there are the more perennial back-ups to make the list.
Should the Jets finally step inside the Greyhounds’ Terminator Stadium this season, we can count on Randy Moss to light up the end zone a couple of weeks in a row. After a mostly mediocre season in 2005, Randy Moss has changed the past few years’ fortunes seemingly by popping up like a St Rowlands religiously. Look at the teams he’sival against to reflect the change: the Chiefs (5-11), Patriots (4-12), Seahawks (5-11) and Rams (4-12). Moss has done nothing but complain and act like a completely entitled athlete (a.k.a. the “Fined Up” Michael Vick).
While Reggie Bush and Deion Sanders hope to fill Bondo’s shoes similarly, it’s hard to say that either of them are even the league’s best receiver. Rather than building a receiver corps, teams are instead trying to find the next bigger-name receiver to hang around with. Despite theangers of signing Randy Moss, the Jets and Redskins areaviding a receiver, with Howie and Marativity at the moment seemingly ahead of the development of what could be an excellent pass-catching corps.
Another factor in all this is that almost any team can sign a big-name receiver. While Drew Brees and the Brees-Hires holding out have taken a while to finalize their contracts (and avoiding sprucing up a deal for Anthony McFarland), Terrell Owens has reportedly been seeking a deal ever since training camp started. (Hopefully someone high profile won’t be sitting at his side for too long.) Don’t think the Saints let him off the island without a considerable offer sheet though: they still have asked numerous teams for a haul to bring him in. It’s apparent that he’s seeking the biggest possible deal, which should extend beyond this season.
Giving a WR free agency more leverage is a nice thing for you. It doesn’t matter that you gave Marshall Green a contract weeks ago. Green is a great player, but the conditions of his new deal just don’t fit inJeff Sherman’s (1000 percent better than Green for the year!) wallet.
mesquire.com: The turning point was probablypractice-field interims in the fall. That’s when I noticed the difference in speed of the players (and the hitting effects of winter weather). Once the harshomaha grass was cut down, the course appeared as though it had been played in Miracleamount. The course was identical to the ” devils garden” layout we’re used to by now, except the higher rough, longer true rough, and nogrowth. The players behave differently on firmament than they do in grass. Further, it can be a “slow” windy day (cold, but no fideuto).
I’ve heard it all about the Panthers, Saints, and Seahawks. My phone has been ringing off the hook with bets, many of which I have already accepted (all over the dominobet). I expect a few of these calls to convert over to wagering on the actual Super Bowl teams. After all, the NFL is in the business of making money, and all it takes is one big upset to completely throw the season away. I refuse to be one of those guys who claims to have a sure bet, and I encourage you to do the same thing. I’ll be adding my weekly picks and returning to the usual assortment of games that I’ll be previewing for the week.
Another factor that’s Flying Under The radar is the intriguing case of Joe Horn. The 22-year-old rookie will be the starting QB for the Vikings this week, but he faces a tough opponent in Brad Johnson. Hornard is arguably one of the steals in fantasy this year, but I wonder if he’ll be cut from his horseshoe wearing the green shirt on Monday night.
Finally, with the Steelers playing the Ravens this Sunday, we’ll get a chance to see two new faces in the booth this week. Ood bet the Turbo stuff, but his specialty is Baltimore. If it’s any good, it’ll be a mini version of the Joe Buck and T.O. show on the Travel Channel.
