New makeup!!

The Buffalo Bills shipped former first-rounder, RB Marshawn Lynch to the Seattle Seahawks. At the same time, the Hawks cut Julius Jones.The Bills will continue to work with Fred jackson and experiment with CJ Spiller. Carroll used to gameplan against Lynch where his California Bears played the USC Trojans.

Dwayne Jarrett and the Carolina Panthers are no more. The two parted ways after he was arrested for DWi last night. Coach John Fox disciplines his team. Jarrett was a star at USC. He may be meeting with the Seattle Seahawks soon where he played under Head Coach Pete Carroll. Carroll brought in former first-rounder, Mike Williams also.

The Chicago Bears released Mark Anderson and picked up Charles Grant whom was cut by the New Orleans Saints. Grant won a championship with them last season. Both play Defensive End. Anderson was never able to return to his rookie season where he posted 12 sacks.

Jayme Mitchell is traded to the Cleveland Browns from the Minnesota Vikings for the Browns' late round draft choice.

Trent Edwards. Yes. He returns to the Buffalo Bills, but as the number two Quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was the third QB, but the jaguars had recently cut Todd Bouman. The Jaguars also signed free agent CJ Mosley who played for the Minnesota Vikings.

Weekend Updates! ! !

Donovan McNabb takes revenge on the Philadelphia Eagles.

Michael Lewis is finally released by the San Francisco 49ers.

Randy Moss had 0 catches last night in a victory, however, against the Miami Dolphins.

Terrell Owens had 9867945 catches Sunday, but lost to the Cleveland Browns. Nah, he had 10.

Milestones:

  1. Roddy White now has 5,000 yards catching.
  2. Ricky Williams has 9,000 yards rushing and looks forward to 10k by the end of the season.
  3. LaDainian Tomlinson has 141 official touchdowns to be 3rd all time. Now 7th all-time in rushing yards.
  4. Tony Gonzalez continues to add records as he reaches 12,000 yards receiving which is most all time by a Tight End.
Returns/Cuts/Signings:

  1. Ben Roethlisberger is back for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
  2. Brian Cushing returns to the houston Texans to help out on Defense.
  3. Santon Holmes, WR, finished serving his suspension for Ny Jets as they cut some wideouts to make room for him on the roster.
  4. Trevor Pryce signs with the Jets for Coach Rex Ryan. Ryan coached Pryce while they existed in Baltimore with the Ravens. 
  5. Darrelle Revis participated in practice today with the Jets. he pulled his hamstring while getting BURNED by Randy Moss for a score - one-handed, nonetheless.

Finally Lost

T.J. Houshmanzadeh catches his first touchdown of the season to push the Baltimore Ravens over the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. T.J, a former member of the Cincinnati Bengals agreed to a one year contract with division Rivals, Ravens, 3-4 weeks ago. As young as he is at 33, the man shows he can still run, catch, and play as he scores on Bryant McFadden for the game winning score.

Charlie Batch did have a chance to comeback and win the game, but he was picked off by Ray Lewis.  Lewis is on my fantasy team, so that was a HUGE boost for me. I love the Steelers, but I can care less about that game.


T.J, 84, celebrates with Mason, 85, and team after touchdown to take the lead.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are now 3-1 while playing under Ben Roethlisberger's 4-game suspension. Big Ben will be eligible to play next week, but the team has moved on exceptionally well without him. Will he start next week? Perhaps, but he hasn't been in or two practice. The man needs to practice before going back on the field. It's the only way he will get better.


Jaguars, Who?

The Indianapolis Colts (2-2) played the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2) in Florida and lost to a game winning field goal (28-31) by Josh Scobee. Scobee was alerted by his holder that Colts' head coach was going to ice him with a time-out. Scobee was calm, Scobee was cool. He missed the practice kick as the time-out was called, but of course has a second one to test. Here, the Colts were pretty upset as he nails the field goal from 59 yards out, the furthest in his career.

Scobee celebrates with his holder after the winning field goal

I'm super excited that the Colts lost. There is not a Patriots fan who even likes the Colts or can admit they are a good team. They suck. All across the board, we say the Pats are better overall, but the Jaguars. . . who are they? They are now tied 2-2 within the AFC South division.

Comeback player of the week

. . . or as far as Sunday, LaDainian Tomlinson returned to All-Pro form this afternoon by scoring 2 touchdowns and running over 100 yards against the Buffalo Bills. The final score of this game was 38-14 to the Jets, unfortunately. Both LT and Shonn Greene - the guy supposed to take the majority of the touches - ran over the century mark, but Greene did not score.With this performance, LT is now seventh all-time with career rushing yards. He is also third with 140 total touchdowns, not including his touchdown passes. I don't know why.


I absolutely hate the Jets, but I had always love LaDainian Tomlinson ever since his days with the San Diego Chargers. To see him do well made me feel good, but to see them win, made me feel sick. Boo the Jets!!!

SLOUCH! ! !

Once quoted by Darrelle Revis of the NY Jets, Terrell Owens has his biggest game as a Bengal. He was a beast out there with 10 touches and 220 yards catching. Plenty of experts had Chad Ochocinco torching the Browns, but they forgot that Owens is an elite athlete himself even at 37-38 years old. Chad finished the game as a slouch instead contirbuting with 3 catches for 59 yards.


Owens scores on this play as the defender slips on the grass.  

On the other side of the game,Browns' Running Back Peyton Hillis showed the Bengals how to run the ball. He had 27 carried for 100-plus yards and a score. The Browns move onward toward with their first victory of the season.
Michael Lewis requests for his release from the San Francisco 49ers. He spent his first five seasons with the Eagles in Philadelphia and his current four with San Francisco. The issue is centered around a lack of playing time. Lewis has been a full-time starting Safety ever since he entered the league as a fourth round pick out of Colorado University. He loves the organization enough to take a pay cut to remain with the team. He has started the past the seasons, but has clearly not made any impact forcing fumbles or getting interceptions. Either his best years are behind him, or he will shine with another team.

Personally, this is a player who barely gets his dues. He is smart, and very scary. He kills Running Backs, Wide Receivers and anyone who come into the middle of the field.Hopefully he bounces back, and has a great season.

Texans uncertain of Johnson's injury

The Houston Texans are hopeful they can play with Andre Johnson, one of the best wideouts in this league - top 3 in my mind. As of Friday, Johnson has missed two days of practice. He is currently listed as probable or at best to be a game-time decision on Sunday afternoon against the Oakland Raiders. Johnson injured his ankle last Sunday in a victory over the Washington Redskins. He caught a touchdown late in that game to help bring the team to overtime.

Johnson injured his ankle on the play above.

Even without Johnson, they have the most explosive offense with the best running back. The Texans look to move on to 3-1 and the Oakland Raiders are 1-2.Look for Kevin Walter and company to step up.

Game of the Week

Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for Donovan McNabb and the Washington Redskins. This is the first game McNabb will play in a Redskins uniform against his former team that drafted him second overall in the Spring 1999 NFL Draft. He has a shot at revenge, although he has proclaimed the matchup to be nothing more than just another game. I hope for a great game because I'm a fan of his and his former team, so it's hard to decide. The other team will not change their game or welcoming ceremony. Even if it is McNabb, he is a Redskin, and like any other opposing teams, they do not receive the best welcoming.



Game day for McNabb wwill be faced with many boos. They never wanted him in the draft. But in 2001, he took them to the NFC championship before the Super Bowl. He did that four times, until he lost to the Patriots in 2004. He has yet to reach another Super Bowl.  On the other side of the ball for Michael Vick, he also brought his team, The Atlanta Falcons, to the conference championship game but lost to the Eagles that same year in 2004. He also has yet to reach the Super Bowl.


Now as starters for their new teams, fans and players alike have playoff expectations. The first rivalry game will take place in Philadelphia and then Washington for week 10.

I'm an avid fans of both Vick and McNabb. Good luck to both of these QBs.
