NFL CRAZINESS!!

I know we are only 3 weeks from opening day in baseball but the NFL is so much more interesting right now with all of its stories and I really couldn't let today go without commenting on these 2 stories so without further adieu (yeah I know some french..uhh)

HERE WE GO.......

Peyton Manning trades his horse shoe for a full blown horse (easy jay...)


The domino that is Peyton manning has finally fallen and the greatest free agent of all time in the NFL has signed with the Denver Broncos. First let me congratulate reader Brian for correctly calling this move almost 2 weeks ago.  Look, this makes perfect sense for Peyton and made the best sense over the other finalists, Tennessee and San Fran.  Lets first discuss what the 2 losers had going against them....

1. Tennessee---Peyton would have been governor the minute he signed there.  There also would have been expectations that would only be achievable by GOD himself and an added sense of community stress that would have effected even the great P Manning.  The football issue was that this team had pieces in place, but not enough of them.  Too many questions and an opposite system, offensively, than he would like to run.

2. San Francisco---The defense is out of this world, they just signed Randy Moss and Jim Harbaugh is fiery, intense and inexperienced.  All of that is a turn off.  Peyton is THE GREATEST QB OF ALL TIME!  We can argue that later if you don't agree, but by being that you develop an ego, and Peyton isn't going to let that Defense take some of his spotlight.  Harbaugh isn't like his previous coaches that were very laid back and allowed him to play his way, Harbaugh was an NFL QB who still thinks he may know more that guys playing now, and the simple fact is he doesn't know more than Peyton.  The other issue was the 49ers had a clock because they couldn't afford to lose Peyton and oops we waited too long and lost Alex Smith too.

The Broncos made perfect sense, and John Elway knew, then played it as perfect as possible.  FROM THE START they told Peyton "We are here.  We want you.  Take your time".  they were the only team in this sweepstakes with time.  THAT won them number 18!  Now it helps that they have a Super Bowl ready defense (how do you think Tebow-mania got going and then kept going?), an All-Pro Young LT in Ryan Clady (Neck safe) and an emerging game changing wideout in Demaryus Thomas.  This team is led by a veteran  Coach in John Fox, that even as emotional and fiery as he is, knows how to mold his team around what he has (See Carolina's trip to the Super Bowl with Jake Delhomme, and Tebow-mania).  John Fox has coached teams to be very very good without EVER having a real QB (Take notes rex ryan and Pete Caroll).  Now Foxy has one.

You can be sure that the Peyton Manning domino also likely sets off the Broncos adding Jeff Saturday and Dallas Clark.  The Broncos will add more depth at the O-line and secondary as well setting them up.  I would also imagine that in round 3 or 4 drafting a young QB to learn behind the master....

WAIT WAIT WAIT, but what about Timmy T!


At the time of me writing this post (Just got word there is some language in the trade that may void it) Timmy T is now a NY JET.  The Broncos wasted no time in trading the Christ Child to the Dark Side for a 4th rd pick (I really think they could have gotten more from somewhere else).  How UNBELIEVABLY awkward is this situation getting!!!!!!.  I mean think about it...The Pure Timmy T having to listen to Toe Sucking, foul mouthed Sexy rexy everyday at practice.  We all saw the Hard Knocks episodes.....How does Pure as fresh snow Timmy T deal with that?  Look at the guys on that team....Santonio Holmes, Bart Scott, Antonio Cromartie, La Ron Landry...COME ON!!!  How could this story get any better...OH WAIT ITS ALL IN NEW YORK!!!!

On the football side, I actually believe this is a calculated move by the Jets to push Dirty Sanchez and see how he competes.  Currently, gun to my head, I take Tebow over the Sanchize all day.  With Tebow, Rex can really run his ground and pound, and with new O coordinator, Tony Sporano, who is going to run the wildcat better than Tebow....If this trade goes through the Jets may actually be better offensively than since Sanchez has been there.

Sean Payton got bit by the STONED OUT OF HIS MIND Roger Goodell...


Roger Goodell and the NFL (That is just a technicality this is ALLLLL Goodell) suspended New Orleans Saints Head coach Sean Payton for the ENTIRE 2012 season, and also Suspended GM Mickey Loomis 8 games.  Ladies and Gentlemen, give me a minute to climb atop my soap box please........

Roger Goodell is INSANE and might be the most ridiculous Commissioner in sports!!!  This suspension is tied to Bounty-Gate, and yet the Star Perp in teh whole thing, Gregg Williams, HAS YET TO BE DISCIPLINED!!!!  There is no way that Sean Payton deserves to be suspended for an entire season.  that is LUDICROUS!  (when I move you move, just like that...sorry) Roger Goodell has set a terrible tone here.  He has proven that he is a "suspension dependent on mood" commissioner that has no rhyme or reason for any of his disciplinary actions.

Case and Point...Michael Vick was afforded the entire legal process by Roger Goodell before any suspension or fine was handed out because Roger felt it was fair to let the authorities get it right first.....THAT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE ROGER!!!  Then WHY did Ben Rothliesberger Get suspended 4 games before you even found out that he WASN'T GETTING CHARGED....or you suspended Plaxico Burress before he went through the legal process!!!  You run off at the mouth about player safety over and over, and "sissify" the league with stupid subjective penalties that officials don't even have set parameters for, and yet you want to add 2 MORE games a year?  Now you want to Professionally damage an accomplice/Accessory to.. with an unprecedented suspension before you even made a decision on the ACTUAL offender??

With this being Payton's suspension, it leaves you no choice, ROGER...Gregg Williams had better get a lifetime ban.  I am not saying that's what he deserves, but that's what precedent you have set.

WHAT DO YOU THINK????  Comment, Pass along to your friends
