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!

I know it's not football season, but with everything going on, I feel like I've let this blog fall by the wayside.  Sorry about that, friends.  Here I am, though, to briefly discuss the important things that have happened lately.
Jason Taylor was cut from the Jets.  WTF?  They better renegotiate his contract and bring him back or this girl is going on a rampage.
Tiki Barber is un-retiring, which HAS to be because he's broke.  There is no reason a 38 year old man who retired in 2006 should be making his comeback as a running back.  Who is going to take him?  Probably no one.  You've always been my favorite Barber bro, Tiki, but Ronde is taking over now.
Vince Young wants back on the Titans. NO.  Munchak better not do it.  Also, Warren Moon thinks the Titans should pick Cam Newton as their first round draft pick.  NO.  Hello, world!  Our first round pick of VY didn't work; it's not time to start over with another brand new QB.  Let's pick up an established guy before we start picking up fresh meat.
Plaxico Buress will be released from prison in early June.  I think this guy is going to have a stellar comeback... as long as he remembers to properly holster his guns at all times. 
This whole CBA nonsense feels like it's never going to end.  I don't think anyone is willing to give up anything to come to an agreement, so let's just be the overpaid assholes you are and screw over your fans, your employees and the livelihoods of your neighborhood economies so that you can get a few more million dollars.

And I'm out.

Eye Candy -- February 10, 2011

Today's eye candy is Jason Taylor, #99, OLB for the New York Jets (formerly, the Miami Dolphins).  Some men should be banned from wearing shirts and he is one of them.
