Tim Tebow Jersey #1 Seller

It's hard to believe that the #1 selling NFL jersey right now is the #15 Tim Tebow Denver Bronco's jersey. He hasn't even played a game yet and is already outselling everyone else in the league. This will be great if he succeeds, but if not Denver fans will be walking around looking like Bengals fans with Peter Warrick's jersey on. Although, I must admit that Tebow does have talent and will most likely succeed in the Wildcat formations they will use him in this season. A talented kid like him landed in a good place to play. A team that loves to run the ball and does it successfully. So I don't think that all these people buying his jerseys has too much to be worried about. I'll be rooting for him to do good. Very few players come into the league with his type of character, so I say root for the kid. And as long as he's performing his jersey will keep selling!!!

The 18 Game NFL Season

The NFL season is upon us once again! As we all sit eagerly waiting until opening day we must first succomb to the inevitable preseason games. Don't get me wrong, I like to see what the young talent on my favorite teams can do but seriously, I want to see the big time playmakers on the field. I love football of all kinds, from the peewee leagues, to high school, and college, but when it comes to the National Football League I want to see the stars play. The ones who put on a show and give me my money's worth. Luckily, it seems the NFL is thinking about getting rid of two of the preseason games and replacing them with two extra regular season games bringing the season to an 18 game schedule. There are legit arguements on both sides of this ordeal. The players say it will take a toll on their bodies (especially running backs) because its already hard enough to make it through a season healthy now. Coaches want training camps to be earlier to help them access there new young talents since they will be losing those two extra weeks in preseason to do that and an extended roster to help replace players who do get injured. Owners and the NFL big wigs want the extra two games for obvious reasons: MONEY! But that's ok and understandable, afterall they are running a business. But the most important ones is the fans. We want more FOOTBALL!!!! We sit all week long waiting on Sunday and when it gets here there's nothing like it. Sitting on the coach with good friends talking about the games, the players, and for some checking their fantasy scores. In the end it just comes down to giving the people what they want. Hey, without us instead of a 16 game season they would be playing backyard football. I'm not saying we would go anywhere, no not at all, the game is to great for that. I'm saying they get paid millions, retire when they are 40, and live the good life, so why not earn it?! Football is the greatest sport there is, people have sunday gatherings to watch games, you can't find a tv on thanksgiving day that isn't playing the lions/dallas games, the Superbowl is an unofficial holiday, people make time for the draft in April, Monday Night Football actually has its own song, even the Superbowl commercials are anticipated! Find me another sport like that. And all we are asking for is the NFL to replace two meaningless games with two meaningful games. It would mean the world to all of us football fans.

Terrell Owens Headed To Cincinatti

Its being reported that Terrell Owens has signed a 1yr/$2 million contract with the Cincinatti Bengals. Which begs the question "Is Carson Palmer really looking forward to this?" After successfully trash talking every QB he's ever had, from Garcia to McNabb and Romo, you would have to think; no he's not. T.O. is older, lost a step, and probably still has the same ego and attitude. It's sad to see such a great talent wasted on such a terrible personality. It's safe to say that there are wide outs in the league making way more money than T.O. who have nowhere near the talent he has. But no team in the league, even the Rams, are willing to risk more than a couple million dollars and one year of commitment to this guy. I think that says a lot about what T.O. brings to the locker room and a lot about his character. Seriously, how long can he and Chad Ochocinco coexist before one of them starts to get a little upset at the amount of balls coming their way? The most interesting thing about this whole deal is waiting and watching to see the exact moment when it all goes south. T.O. has always delivered on two things: Celebrations and Drama. I don't think this year will be any different. Especially if T.O. doesn't get the ball enough to produce what he needs to collect on the other $2 million dollars in incentive pay. Maybe, just maybe, the stars will align and this will all work out to the best for the Bengals, but if I was a betting man I would put my money on the sure thing: DRAMA!
