“If I could kill two people I’d kill Brett Favre twice.”
Brett Favre to the Jets eh? Maybe now I can finally stop TIVOing NFL Total Access and fast forwarding through all the discussions of what everyone from Rich Eisen to Warren Sapp thinks about the War on 4 just to get a small glimpse of other training camps. This just in! Brett Favre is walking! This just in! Brett Favre got in his car! This just in! It’s an SUV not a car. Give me real football already.
As training camps fly by, NFL Preseason is now upon us. Soon enough rosters will be cut from 80 to 53. Lost in the whole Favre and the Art of the Midlife Crisis are the various NFL rookies and veterans fighting for a roster spot on a day-to-day basis. As many have already pointed out, there are 2,500 other players in the league besides Favre. The Jets will be at best 8-8 this year and probably finish third in the AFC East. Let’s move on shall we?
You Say Tomato…I say I’m Awesome
John Gruden will sign Chad Pennington. He won’t be able to resist the option of formulating an entire offensive line of quarterbacks.
The Vikings or the Dolphins would be wise to move in on Pennington once he is waived.
According to Roger Goodell it’s ok for Marshawyn Lynch to plead guilty to hitting a woman with his car but not ok for Brandon Marshall to allegedly slap his girlfriend. So cars are ok, not fists. I understand the suspension of Marshall, and admittedly he deserves it. I would much rather see him beating corners and not women. However, the lack of consistency with Goodell’s rulings could eventually prove to be quite the problem. Marshawyn Lynch hit-and-run (nothing), Lofa Tatupu DUI (nothing), Kevin Faulk possession of marijuana (nothing), the list goes on and on. In order to be the don dapper of football he is attempting to be, consistency in his rulings is a must.
If I were the Cowboys or Eagles I would make a last ditch offer at Anquan Boldin.
Tune in next time for my team-by-team Rookie Preview.
