One huge injury, and the entire NFL is shaken and destroyed.
But it wasn’t just Tom Brady’s injury that hit the league. Big names like Vince Young, Brodie Croyle, and Drew Bennett all found out they’ll be missing significant action with injuries.
We found out that Brett Favre is comfortable as a Jet, and likely to get more comfortable, that Aaron Rodgers isn’t shy about leaping into the stands, and Michael Turner is the real deal.
But away from all the injuries lies an even more interesting phenomenon: the impact of rookies immediately to start the season.
From the Titan’s Chris Johnson, to Philadelphia’s DeSean Jackson, rookies throughout the league turned in huge performances to help their teams go 1-0. See for yourself. The teams moving up in the rankings after week one, for the most part, all have a rookie or two playing a huge hand in their success.
Football is back! And we’re running down all week 1 picks on the podcast or you can check our picks here. We’ll be heavy on the gambling advice this year so check back to see how we’re doing with our betting accounts.

I’ve been watching sports for many years and every once in a while, you’ll hear something that makes you chuckle. Most weeks in sports are exciting but as far as the giggles go its rather mild. This week has been a firestorm full of madness. Hilarity ensues…
To some, Sunday is a time to unwind. To many, it is a day of worship. I spend my Sundays relaxing while praising the football gods. It is an American tradition to participate in the great sport of football. Unlike with most other sports, you do not need to physically be in the game to be a football participant. It is as much of an experience for the player as it is for the spectator. The trials and tribulations experienced by players on field translate to fan emotion off field. Therefore, for this past November’s Sunday Night Football game–this season’s undefeated team to beat, the New England Patriots took on my favorite team, the struggling Philadelphia Eagles–I decided to focus on the onlookers of the game instead of on the game itself (being a fan of the game, this was harder to do than it may seem).
He is both a unique and talented football player. He is unique in that he plans out touchdown celebrations weeks in advance and sends Pepto Bismol to opposing defenders. He is talented in shattering Bengals receiving records and making spectacular catches that few human beings have any business making. He is Chad Johnson.
I’ve heard that there are two different times of the year. There is football season, and there is waiting for football season. With about 50 days left (depending on which day you read this) until the kickoff of the NFL season I thought it would be fun to list some entertaining activities to occupy your time. Understand that these range from the mundane, to the ludicrous, to “Hey, maybe I could actually do that.” This column is all in fun and some of the activities listed should be performed at the readers own risk (of embarrassment). The following are in no particular order.
The 2008 sports year has already offered us some unbelievably memorable moments. Here is a list of the top five momnets in sports in 2008.

Recently NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell came out and said it is “ridiculous” for players like Jake Long to make boatloads of money without proving themselves in the NFL. He said “There’s something wrong with the system, the money should go to people who perform.”
