I Can’t Buy a Jet Jersey

Laverneus Coles is back, back from the dead that is the Washington Redskins. While I am happy to have LC back, I am definitely a little upset to see Santana Moss go. The guy has been nothing but a first class guy in the locker room and when healthy, a spark to an offense that sometimes in Herman Edwards terms is, “Driving Miss Daisy.”

Although Moss was hampered by a hamstring injury he provided two of the biggest plays of the Jets’ postseason. Against the Chargers he caught the 47 yard touchdown pass from Pennington, and against the Steelers Moss returned a punt for a touchdown that would have been the spark to lead the Jets to the AFC championship if the Jets didn’t blow it. Moss has provided many sparks just like the one’s previously mentioned and he will definitely be missed. I will miss Moss and I will enjoy seeing Coles back in a Jet uniform, the real thing that upsets me about this trade is that I have a Santana Moss jersey that is now useless.

The highlight of a career for a professional athlete is to be inducted into his or her sport’s hall of fame. One of the most distinguished Halls of Fame is the Pro Football shrine in Canton, Ohio.

The best of the best who ever played professional football are enshrined there. A day walking through the hallowed halls there will put one face-to-face with the busts of Red Grange, Ernie Nevers, Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Sonny Jurgensen, Jim Thorpe, et al.

Yes, he was one of the best to play the game but I already forgot about him.

The Pro Bowl Sucks

Even with the recent disastrous baseball all-star game that ended in a tie the NFL all-star game, the Pro Bowl is the worst all-star event in professional sports. The Pro Bowl is held in Hawaii the week after one of the best single sports events, the Super Bowl with the best available football stars in the game. The problem is that many of the best players are either unavailable or unwilling to risk an injury.

As I was watching Emmitt Smith announce his retirement on ESPNEWS on the Thursday before the Super Bowl, I felt sad. Here is the guy who I think is the best running back of all-time calling it quits, fresh off a near 1,000 yard season (which I realize isn’t too spectacular anymore) while playing for the lowly Arizona Cardinals.

Brains or Braun?

The debate continues on what traits are most important to a quarterback’s success

Tom Brady = Joe Montana?

By Jeremy Burnham

This article will sound funny coming from me. Just 24 hours ago, I wrote an article that offended a lot of Joe Montana fans who disagreed with me when I said that Steve Young was the best QB ever to play the game. However, instead of getting back into that topic, I want to bring up the topic I had been planing for Super Bowl Sunday for quite some time. That topic is Tom Brady being called the new Joe Montana.

The End of a Dynasty?

Lately people have been talking about the departures of Offensive Coordinator, Charlie Weis and Defensive Coordinator, Romeo Crennel as the end of the New England Patriots’ dynasty. This claim brings with it many assumptions, assumptions that devalue Bill Belichick and the players of the back-to-back World Champions.

If you don’t play- you can’t talk- so Shut Up Freddie Mitchell

Freddie Mitchell remained silent Sunday night because his play had done all of his talking for him. Number 84 caught one ball for 11 yards, which came during a desperate drive, against a prevent defense, in the closing minutes of a game, in which the outcome had already been decided. So if Freddie Mitchell doesn’t understand what his Super Bowl XXXIX performance is trying to say, we will shout it to him, shut up Freddie!
