Detroit Lions Shake Up Their NFL Roster

I sympathize with Detroit Lions fans everywhere and hopefully this will be the year they start moving forward or else I fear that suicide rate in Detroit will soon skyrocket and that has nothing to do with the auto industry.

Detroit Lions NFL Betting

Lion’s fans do have hope this season as the organization has just made 2 very significant signings that are sure to help last season’s worst Pass Defense stop some passes this NFL season. The Detroit Lions have just signed Louis Delmas and Kyle Vanden Bosch who are not only known for their hard to pronounce lastnames, but also known for their great defensive talents at stopping the pass.

Last NFL season the Detroit Lions had a 2-14 record, this NFL season I would predict that the Lions go 6-10 which will be a major improvement over recent years. I also think the Lions will win the annual Thanksgiving Day game special which hasn’t been worth watching in about 10 years because the Lions have played so horrible.

NFL Owners Meeting

Earlier this week NFL owners sat down for their annual spring meeting in Dallas, Texas. A few of the NFL owners had a chance to stay a couple of nights extra, consequently breaking regional sales records for the purchases of Jimmy Beam bourbon, Metamucil and Viagra.

There were many topics on the hot stove including the location of the Super Bowl in 2014, Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension, overtime rules, and the use of drugs in the NFL. Just to be clear, the drug discussion was regarding NFL players, not NFL owners’ use of performance enhancement drugs.

NFL Super Bowl 2014

It is now official, the NFL is breaking away from tradition and the Super Bowl in 2014 will be held in an outdoor field in New York. This means the NFL owners believe that if you can shell out $2000 for nosebleed tickets to the Super Bowl, you should also be able to afford a parka, longjohns, toque and mittens.

Hopefully if Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension is over by then he might have a chance to attend the 2014 NFL Super Bowl.

Crabtree Looks Promising for 49ers

First off people, you would not believe how hard it was finding a picture of San Francisco 49ers star Wide Receiver, Michael Crabtree. This is not due to a lack of pictures on the internet of Crabtree; it’s just that there are even more pictures of Michael’s crab tree, also known as random pictures of crab invested penises of men with the name Michael.

San Francisco 49ers’ Michael Crabtree

The above picture is of Michael Crabtree doing what he does best, catching the ball and gaining a boat load of yards after the catch utilizing his agility and quick speed. Last NFL season Crabtree was a holdout and refused to attend the 49ers spring training camp until he got more money and missed the first 5 NFL games for the 49ers. Once Crabtree finally did step on the field in a 49ers jersey he impressed everybody and left fans wishing he would have signed sooner.

NFL NFC West

I think it is fairly safe to say that the San Francisco 49ers will be frontrunners in the NFL NFC West conference and that Michael Crabtree will lead all wide receivers in this conference with most yards after the run. Whether you agree with me or not, you can always bet online NFL prop wagers at any great online sportsbook that offers them.

Brett Favre Update

Does he love me, or does he love me not, will he retire, or will he not? These are the same questions that came up last year and the year before that regarding the retirement of Brett Favre. In typical Brett Favre fashion, he has refused to comment on whether he will be retiring or playing another season with the Minnesota Vikings.

Brett Favre Injury

If Brett Favre won’t tell us NFL betting men on the status of his retirement, maybe his doctor will. It has just been confirmed that Brett Favre will undergo ankle surgery within the week, instead of putting it off like most non-professional athletes would have done.

Because Favre is rushing into this surgery now, this is a strong indicator that he is going through with it so that he can be ready for the Vikings training camp after 4-6 weeks of rehab. Professional Speculationers such as myself believe that Favre will be playing for 100% this upcoming season and this ankle surgery will not effect affect his playing.

JaMarcus Russell Suffers Middle-Child Syndrome

“Lonely, so lonely, JaMarcus Russell is so lonely, because he’s got nobody…”
Alvin and the Chipmunks said it best, and now this latest picture from the Oakland Raider’s training camp confirms that JaMarcus Russell is lonely and there is nothing worse than a quarterback that has no sense of belonging.

Online NFL Betting News

Russell, a once a highly touted #1 NFL draft pick, has now become just another fan asking teammates for autographs. Okay maybe I just made that part up about him asking for autographs, but recent news reports are being speculated within NFL news circles that it is likely that JaMarcus Russell will never start another NFL game.

JaMarcus Russell’s Future

With the recent signing of Jason Campbell by the Oakland Raiders and 0 NFL teams showing interest in taking on JaMarcus Russell as a 1st string or 2nd string NFL quarterback, you might say that the future looks pretty grim for Russell, but in the eyes of this pretty blogger I don’t think this will be the case.

I believe that Russell is just going through a rough patch right now, a victim of bad circumstances which will definitely test his character but he has always proven himself to be a mentally tough football player so it is only a matter of time before Russell will finds a position on another NFL team’s 2010-2011 roster.

NFL 2011 Super Bowl

The upcoming NFL Super Bowl is going to be held in Jerry Jones’s new Dallas Cowboys football stadium. As you may have heard the NBA’s 2010 All-Star game was also held in the new Cowboys stadium which went off without a hitch, but the game did leave a whole new slew of illegitimate children behind.

As you can see from the above picture, this stadium is huge and a great example of our wasteful excess culture, but that discussion I’ll save for another time when I have a few more drinks in me.

The new jumbotron screen at the stadium alone is over 160 feet wide, 71 feet tall and cost over $40 million. The total cost of the Dallas Cowboys stadium was approximately $1.3 billion which means that if Tony Romo doesn’t start winning some more games, he may be demoted to being a urinal cake cleaner.

Dallas Cowboys Betting

When Terrell Owens left the Dallas Cowboys prior to the start of last season, I strongly believed that Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys would go far into the NFL playoffs because they would have been able to leave all major distractions off the field, however this was clearly not the case as the Dallas Cowboys were knocked out of the playoffs by Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.

Now I’m sure that the Green Bay Packers are not the only ones pissed off that Favre came out of retirement!

Tim Tebow : Class Act

It’s not every day you read a story about a young athlete doing the right thing; however Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos is the exception.

Tebow happily embraced 4 full years of college football with the Florida Gators and brought them 2 national title championships and won himself the Heisman Trophy. Most players would have not thought twice about making the jump to the NFL early if given the opportunity, but being the intelligent person that Tim Tebow is, he wanted to finish school first.

Now fighting for the #1 QB spot for the Denver Broncos, Tebow has already memorized the Broncos playbook and has looked sharp at the Denver Broncos spring camp. Tebow has an extremely strong work ethic and is intelligent which isn’t something you can say about all NFL football players.

NFL Football Players

These days in the NFL everyone and their mother (McNabbs for Chunky Soup) have an endorsement deal and you can’t stop but wonder if all these endorsements are distracting NFL football players which is a cause for concern for NFL online betting entrepreneurs such as I.

Not to worry about Tebow though as he just announced he will not be taking on any endorsement deals and wants to purely focus on his rookie NFL season. Where Lebron James accepted a $65 million contract from Nike before he ever played an NBA game, Tebow has chosen to put all that potential endorsement money on the backburner.
I’m not saying I would do the same, but kudos to you Tim Tebow, you are a class act!
