Tom Brady is a Fantasy Football Dream……. or Nightmare!

by: Los Brown - September 13th, 2011   Filed under: NFL, Uncategorized Add Comment

Tom Brady threw for 517 yards and 4 TD’s last night. Goods news for fantasy owners that have him on their rosters, but what about the rest of us.

He just happened to be my fantasy league opponent’s starting QB, and yes, he singlehandedly beat my team with a once in a lifetime performance.

 Brady scored 34.98 points last night. Did I mention, Wes Welker is on my fantasy team, but I sat him and instead gave All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald a whirl; in true cliche fashion, hindsight is always 20/20.

Either way, Brady will be a ‘beast’  in fantasy leagues everywhere. He’ll help mediocre team owners win championships all over America. Is there any equal, kryptonite or nemesis that can equalize his fantasy greatness? Only Peyton Manning, but he’s injured, maybe out for the season and on my fantasy team. What a way to start the year.

Terrell Owens gives career advice to DeSean Jackson

by: Los Brown - September 7th, 2011   Filed under: NFL Add Comment

 While giving a radio interview with Philadelphia’s “97.5 The Fanatic,” free agent wideout Terrell Owens voiced his opinion about the DeSean Jackson contract situation.

Jackson, a Pro Bowl receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, is in the last year of his rookie contract and is slated to make $600K  this season.

While $600K is an large amount, it’s viewed as insufficient for NFL top receivers. Jackson has decided not to hold out for a bigger contract but instead will play, risking injury, hoping that the Eagles will give him his due, a new contract.

When asked if he would play if he were in Jackson’s shoes T.O. responded, ” I would have to better myself and my family and my situation……if he goes out and gets hurt….. he’s not going to get the contract he would probably would have gotten if he held out.”

Thus far Jackson has opted not to take the advice of “Dr. Owens,” he will suit up in the team’s opener against the Rams on Sunday. The 37-year-old Owens is recovering from a torn ACL and not on any NFL team’s roster.

A lot was made of this situation when it first happened but it’s going to blown up even more. As you will see in the video, the state tropper clearly didn’t want to arrest Harris especially when he found out that QB Darron Thomas was in the car as well. We all know if it was you or me we would be headed to jail.

Donovan McNabb Headed To The Minnesota Vikings

by: S. Evans - July 27th, 2011   Filed under: NFL Add Comment

The Minnesota Vikings agreed Tuesday to acquire quarterback Donovan McNabb in a trade from the Washington Redskins, pending McNabb agreeing to new contract terms, league sources said.

McNabb would be dealt for a late-round pick — Jay Glazer of Fox Sports and NFL Network reported that it would be sixth-rounders in 2012 and 2013 — but he must restructure his contract, and those talks are scheduled for Wednesday. It isn’t expected to be a lengthy process, but nevertheless, it would be required before a trade could be completed.
