DIRECTV

Damn you, Deion Sanders fairy!  I thought I was powerful enough to resist these commercials, but I'm not.  I am so intrigued by the free NFL ticket that I'm gonna sign up for DIRECTV, even though I'm sure there are hidden fees and costs involved in the switch.  However, I really hate Charter, so I'm always looking for a new cable provider.  I wonder how many people are switching to DIRECTV based solely on the free NFL ticket.  Probably millions.  This season is going to kick ass!

I hope you haven't led me astray, Deion.

My new favorite Jet

Scotty McKnight, rookie Wide Receiver, New York Jets.  Also, BFF of Mark Sanchez.  What's not to love about Scotty?  He's handsome, funny, and a hard worker.    Plus, he promises that one day we will karaoke NSYNC together.  I'm just waiting for him to make good on his promise...

In case you aren't totally sold, here are a couple more photos that showcase the amazingness that is Scotty.

Yep.  Follow him on Twitter, smcknight21!

Lord Have Mercy!

If this doesn't get you excited for Monday Night Football between the Jets and Texans, I don't know what will.

More news of the past week

Another addition of what's going on in the NFL flurry of preseason trades and acquisitions.

So sad that we have to say good-bye to JT on the Jets, but I hope he'll feel back at home for his latest tenure with the Dolphins.  Only Jason Taylor can make those hideous colors look good!

I hope Braylon Edwards can keep himself out of trouble enough to prove that he's still relevant for the 49ers.  Maybe he just needs to be back on the west coast to get himself straight again.  I think a Kaepernick/Edwards combo could be amazeballs.

How long do we think Denver is going to put up with the bitching and moaning of Tim Tebow before they yank Kyle Orton out of the starting position?  I really can't understand Denver's thinking.  The city of Denver is obsessed with Tebow and they want him as their starter.  Just let Orton go and showcase how green and unprepared Tebow is.  Please.

I am so excited that Plaxico Burress is a Jet!  I don't know how great of a producer he'll be this year, but I'm hoping for a great story of redemption.  With Sanchez growing up and learning how to play the game and Plax being a veteran who has seen so much, I think it's going to be a really strong pairing.  I'm looking forward to watching them play together!

Danny Watkins

I picked this handsome fella out during the draft.  Not only is he Canadian, but he's a fire fighter and he's a 26 year old rookie.  Though he was drafted to the Eagles, I knew I'd have to root for him because he's so amazing.
This week, he blew me away again when his teammate, Mike Patterson, had a seizure during practice and Danny was right there to help stabilize him.  Seriously, could this dude be more perfect?  I'm completely smitten.
I hate that I have to cheer for a team that has a convicted dog killer, a suicidal nutcase (Vince Young) and my favorite ex-Titan, Jason Babin, but for that face, I will suck it up.
