Bronco's Are In Trouble

So here are my predictions for the Bronco's with some extras.

First i want to say of the many forseen QB changes that might/will happen this season, and a few from the past year, i think the Bronco's will win the award for "most fans regretting running their qb out of town".

This isn't a shot at Jay Cutler, i really think the kid is going to be good, but when will Denver realize that Jake Plummer was getting the job done?? They were in the AFC Championship game like 2 years ago. Plummer was a top 15 qb, not injury-prone, and a total gamer. Now the Bronco's are back to square-one and i think they're in trouble. Think about it, all of the leadership is gone, Plummer, Al Wilson, Rod Smith (too old), Kubiak. I just isn't the same team.

According to the preseason, the Bronco's are terrible on defense. I feel like every year Denver makes up more and more excuses rather than just own up to the fact that they're aren't good anymore. Can you name one D-Lineman for the bronco's? And if you said Sam Adams, well, he's just human-interest.

I'd say the only bright spots for this team are the secondary, Javon Walker, and the tight-ends. I like Travis Henry in Denver but he's pretty injury-prone, i like Jay Cutler but he's yet to show me something. The linebackers are great atheletes, but that only gets you into the league, they just don't seem that smart. And the O-line is just getting older and older.

You tell me, i think the Bronco's will end up fighting for second in this division and could easily end up third. but i've been wrong.

Fantasy Football is Upon Us!

NFL is right around the corner and this last week i was involved in 2 different Fantasy Football Drafts.

I usually shy away from Fantasy Football Player games becuase i feel like it takes away from watching the overall game on sundays, but i coundn't resist the urge to get back into it.

So anyway, i was reading an article by ESPN Fantasy guru Matthew Berry and he had this to say about drafting Cleveland Browns players. (let me remind you, this was a list of individual players, and he lumped the Browns together);

The Cleveland Browns: Pick a Brown, any Brown. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Braylon Edwards have some talent, but who is going to throw them the ball? I hate Jamal Lewis here and anyone who lines up at quarterback. This is a bad team.

Oh, and guess who drafted all three of the players mentioned above?

David Beckham - First Goal for LA Galaxy - Free Kick v's DC

In case you missed it, Becks scored last night after starting for the Galaxy in the semi-final Superliga game against DC United.

He also got an assist later in the game on Landon Donovan's goal.

I watched the game, and he played very well, he's not as active but he's solid.

NFL Predictions

SO it's easy to guess who's gonna be on top this season, and you can listen to any NFL pundit talk about, so lets get that out of the way

Indy
New England
Philadelphia
San Diego

i think thats the class of the NFL right now with these teams almost there

Pittsburgh
Seattle
Chicago
Denver

but thats boring and easy, how about who i guarantee will be the worst teams in the league and why:

MIAMI: this team is terrible, Trent Green? Really? combined with no offensive weapons, sorry Ronnie Brown. New coach, new qb, this just isn't getting better in Miami, makes you wonder why they drafted Ted Ginn Jr

TAMPA BAY: This team is even worse, Jeff Garcia? The league could combine Tampa and Miami and still not have a .500 team

HOUSTON: I'm sorry but i think Schaub is going to flop this season and Ahman Green is way done. I like Kubiak but this team is an uphill battle

MINNESOTA: TJack is no NFL quaterback and they have no receivers, the defense is getting older, and no one even knows who Brad Childress is

GREEN BAY: this who division is bad, but it will be a battle for last place. Brett Favre is good in battle

Teams very close to the bottom:

Washington
Cleveland
Oakland
New York Giants

I can almost guarantee that at least 8 of these 9 teams will be in the bottom 8 of the league come January, sorry to all my Vikes fans but that team is terrible.

The Browns will have a better record than the Vikes this season, count it!

DaMarcus Beasley Vs FK Zeta

Racism in Sports

So i know that i'm often talking up European Soccer as something everyone could get into and should check out, but this latest run-in with racism makes me sick.

In America we have problems with issues like steroids, dog fighting, DUI's, crooked refs and paying college athletes. In Europe i'm sure they have some similar issues, but the one that sticks outs is racism. A lot of black athletes in Europe get taunted during game, FIFA and UEFA have done a lot in squashing this problem, but it still remains. It makes me sad to think that people still find this acceptable.

Maybe America will step up and do something as well considering the last incident involved American National player Demarcus Beasley.

if you're sick of reading about steroids, or ESPN's sympathy article for referee's (which I'm sorry, i have no sympathy for refs who make 6 digits to ref basketball for a career), or how Michael Vick's indictment is actually racist and not about dog-fighting, then read this article about Beasley and i think you'll see a real issue, one that everyone can agree on, everyone is on the same side when it comes to racism, that it's wrong.

hey guys, here is the fantasy football info that you need. get in on this, the preseason starts this weekend!
