I really wouldn't mind if...
Someone broke Tom Brady's face tonight. I mean, seriously Jason Taylor, do it for your division.

Fantasy football Week 1
Let's hope I can find a good WR to fill Collie's cleats.

J-E-T-S!!!!
"Don't call it a comeback...."
If anyone doubted the full force power of the Jets, tonight's game showed everyone that you never count them out. They are a team the prays on your weaknesses and destroys you from within.
There were so many great plays in the second half, I can't decide who I would give the game ball to, if I were Sexy Rexy. The touchdown pass to Plaxico was perfection. I think that was a display of talent and experience that younger ball clubs miss out on because only a veteran can make moves like that. The Revis interception put us back in the game. He's totally worth all the money they throw at him! The blocked punt by Joe McKnight... Seriously could not have been a better executed play. And the long field goal by Nick Folk won them the game. It was a full team effort out there tonight!
Mark Sanchez has grown so much since last season. Yes, he was sacked (and had that terrible fumble) and yes he was intercepted, but it was the first time he's gone out and not been afraid to throw throw the ball. He looked confident. He looked like he deserved that captain C on his chest. And having LT, Keller, and Plax to throw to really helps too.
And, though it's been said by everyone already, it was only fitting that the New York Jets get a W on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. It must mean so much to the team and to the New York residents to bring joy and happiness to the city/state on a day that is marred in such tragedy.
It's a win for everyone today. Well, except Tony Romo, who basically single-handedly lost that came for Dallas.

University of Nevada
Oh Kaep. It's our first game without you and we miss you. Why do they put us up against Oregon for our first contest of the 2011 season??? It's so hard to watch.
At first, we were holding the Ducks and everything seemed great. But damn. A couple of big plays gets the Pack frustrated and flustered and all of the sudden, it's 0-37.
Oh and the fact that the announcers don't know how to pronounce our state's name. Its Ne-va-da, not Ne-vah-da. Get it right, guys.
I'm gonna go take a nap. This is too much to handle.

My favorite football-related Twitter accounts
I'm an overactive Twitter user, that's no secret. Of the 125 people I follow, I'm sure over half of them are related to football in one way or another. Some of them are parody accounts, some are football players, and some are just other fans that are Twitterholics like myself.
What I've come to learn is that a majority of athletes that tweet are either compulsive retweeters and clog your news feed or boring. The worst are tweeters whose use of shorthand or slang makes their tweets undecipherable (I'm talking to you, CJ2K!) It's very rare to find an athlete that I genuinely enjoy updates from.
With that being said, I'd like to give you a list of my favorite Twitter accounts, so that you can enjoy them as well. Please feel free to add to the list or give me suggestions. I always love finding new people to follow.
@FauxJohnMadden - Hilarious! Yes, it's a parody account and not the real deal, but this person has some hilarious commentary on all things football. Sometimes I think his tweets are more accurate than those of @NFL. One of my favorite tweets? "Today's Wimbledon update is brought to you by.. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD END THE NFL LOCKOUT PLEASE!"
@NotJayCutler - Again, a parody account. If you read my blog, you know how much I loathe Jay Cutler. Any opportunity to mock Cutler is hilarious to me, though he doesn't tweet very often. Sample tweet : "Am I nervous about the season? I haven't quit yet."
@nyjets - As far as Twitter goes for pro sports teams, the Jets are really on top of their game. They are very interactive with their fans and they give thoughtful updates on press conferences, interviews, sound bites, and game highlights. They are great with social media, which is another reason I think they are gaining so much popularity in the last few years.
@nickmangold - Obviously, my favorite tweeter. He tweets his fans (and haters) without a bunch of retweeting clogging up your timeline. Nick is one of the few elite athletes that is truly grounded; he never makes himself out to be superior to anyone else. He gets very quiet during the season, as to be expected, but he's a tweeting machine on his off time.
@Mark_Sanchez - I know, I know. I'm a little biased when it comes to Sanche. I just adore him, so obvi I adore his Twitter account too. He shows his personality in a way you don't normally see pro QBs: he tweets pictures of his friends with the label #creepyguyfaketextingpic and jokes with his teammates, but always makes time to promote non-profits and charities. He shows his fans what a fun and genuine guy he must be, which makes me love him even more... as if that's possible. I also love his BFF (and one of the Jets newest wide receivers) @smcknight21.
@NFL - If you are a fan of football, you have to follow @NFL. However, if you are like me, you get the NFL updates via text already, so sometimes the updates are redundant. Oh well. I'd rather get an update 12 times than not get it at all.
@extraseats - This guy has tickets to 49ers, Jets and Cowboys games and usually his prices are pretty good. He's also got tickets for a bunch of baseball and hockey teams, should you want to find cheap games to go to.
@CoachJeffFisher - I just stumbled upon his Twitter account and my heart sang with joy. Looks like he hasn't really gotten into tweeting yet, but give him time. This is a great man, people. Soon, I'm sure, he'll be spitting out words of wisdom left and right.
Other accounts I follow that I don't necessarily like or dislike, I just follow them because I like them as players: @C-Finnegan31 (Cortland Finnegan, Tennessee Titans), @Kaepernick7 (Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers), @ACromartie (Antonio Cromartie, New York Jets), @stephentulloch (Stephen Tulloch, Detroit Lions), and @AdamSchefter (Adam Schefter, ESPN NFL correspondent).
There are also people I've tried to follow, but couldn't handle either the amount or content of tweets. @chrisjohnson28's tweets are complete gibberish. I'm sure someone understands him, but I'm not that person. @LarryFitzgerald's tweets are always about God or some preachy business, so I can't get down with that. @ochocinco needs a life. I get that Twitter is fun and exciting, but step away from the Twitter app on your phone, bro! @kurt13warner is an asshole. I only read his tweets once and they were making fun of other players. Uh, you used to be homeless and your wife looks like a man, you have no room to criticize others, dick.
And that's all I've got for now!

Dear Aaron Rogers,
You've created a lifelong enemy. Not just me, but any female with eyeballs who thoroughly enjoyed Mark Sanchez' photo spread in GQ. I get it; you are upset because no one wants your homely mug on the cover of their magazine, but you don't have to hate on Sanche for being oh-so pretty. You know what's more embarrassing than a hot QB in tight white pants??? Your terrible hair cut and inexplicable facial hair. Seriously, what is the situation happening above your shoulders?
You're a good quarterback, you just won a Super Bowl. Do you really need to go around making fun of Mark Sanchez' clothing? Tom Brady has done GQ, did you make fun of him as well? Thankfully, Sanche is a classy man and didn't insult you back, even though you provide him with plenty of ammunition.
Now, I will have to root against you always, even if you are playing the Patriots or Raiders.

Poor Peyton!
It breaks my little heart to hear that Peyton Manning has undergone another neck surgery and could be out for at least 2 or 3 months. As far as quarterbacks go, Peyton is elite. He's smart, he knows how to read the field and make big plays, and he seems like a nice dude. Even after being with the Colts for 13 years, he is still one of the best playmakers out there. It seems like a shame that an injury is going to keep him from the majority of the 2011 season, if not finish his career.
As a Titans fan, I'm looking forward to the Colts season for a couple of reasons. 1. I love Kerry Collins and I'm glad to see that he'll be able to fill in for Peyton until he's healed. I think Kerry still has some fight left in him and it's good the Colts chose to see that too. 2. The other part of me hopes Kerry and the Colts won't gel, opening up a spot in the AFC South for the Titans to swoop in and claim the top seat. Though I still hold a grudge toward the Titans organization for their off-season personnel choices, I still want them to succeed.
However, I truly hope that Peyton can come back from this injury and play better than ever. It would be a shame to watch a whole season without him.
xoxo,
Blanche Sanche
