Predictions: Miami- Green Bay

Im a little biased here, I've always had a softspot for the Dolphins. There is a little bit of optimism in Miami. Moreno is on the up and up, Lamar Miller is starting to come into his own and Mike Wallace is playing a fire I havent seen since his pittsburgh days. Ryan Tannehill looks like hes turned a corner (I know it was against Oakland) as a passer. People seem to forget that it takes time to adjust to an offence for any quarterback. The defence has flashed potential but they need to put it together. The biggest handicap this team has is the coaching. I love what Lazor has done for the offence but Philbin seems to have him in handcuffs when it comes to the vanilla play calling. Philbin needs to get out of his own way or he could ruin Tannehill's development and the whole season. On the flip side Green Bay woke up out of their slumber and showed us just how dangerous this offence can be. Aaron Rodgers is still one of the better players in the league and that combination of Nelson and Cobb is just too much for defences to handle. Sprinkle in Eddie Lacy getting his groove back and you have and offence that can hang with anyone. The key is for the defence to be opportunistic and create turnovers like they did last week.


Pick: Green Bay win a close one score affair, call me a homer but I feel like this Miami team will give the Pack all they can handle

Spread: Green Bay -3.5, Im going to take the Pack here I see them winning by 7

Tom Brady

The man, the myth, the legend. A fixture of professional sports for the last 20 years. Tom Brady seemed destine to ride off into the sunset on a half functional body and a relatively intact brain, donning a Patriots jersey. It seems that the ancient quarterback and his morally inept team had something else in mind. Brady met with Belicheck and thats that, no progress, no give and take. It seemed like a rather Belicheckian end to a 20 year long domination tour. The coach, of course, is known as an analytical decision maker who rather cut a player too early than too late. Anyone who watched Brady last year saw a noticeable drop in all statistical categories. When you arer 42 years old it is not unreasonable to see a steady decline in production. Just like that the six time superbowl champion hit the open market. It was not long before an ancient coach enamoured with ancient quarterbacks swooped in and took a chance on the hall of fame quarterback. From Brady's perspective, this is a ...

The XFL rule that the NFL must adopt

Image
The XFL has burst onto the scene. By burst I mean the league has yet to fold. In all seriousness, as a football fan I am just happy there is semi-coherent football being played. Sure quarterback play isn't up to snuff (with the exception of a couple guys) but the XFL is doing something very cool. Other leagues have failed because they try and emulate or compete with the NFL. The XFL had basically filled a need (spring football) and provided enough wild concepts to keep your average fan somewhat interested. Honestly thats all football loving degenerates like myself need. The NFL would be wise to check their immense egos and improve their game through a key rule change.  The adoption of the XFL's revolutionary kickoff structure is a must for the league. If you are unfamiliar, the kicker kicks off from the normal distance (the 30). The gunners and blocker are placed in a stationary position at the opponents 35, facing each other. The kicker then kicks the ball and the players a...

The bizarre saga of Myles Garrett

Image
This Myles Garrett stuff is wild. If your not familiar with the situation, the Cleveland Browns defensive end tried to decapitate an opponent. The opponent in question, Mason Rudolph got into a tussle with the adonis that is Garrett. Garrett (who is known for his calm demeanour) saw it fit to remove Rudolph's helmet and attempt to murder him with it. He succeeded in denting the head of the goofy faced quarterback. Garrett was then suspended for the rest of the season. In fact he was just recently reinstated. The Browns defensive end did a reason interview where he claimed that Rudolph called him a big word beginning with the letter n. We all know what I am talking about. Of course the Pittsburgh QB denied all allegations. Looking at this from an outsiders perspective, its hard to say for sure. I do know a few thing though: Rudolph was immediately assisted by his offensive lineman who are also black. In fact the head coach of the Steelers, Mike Tomlin (also of African american de...
