How Tom Brady Got His Groove Back

What a off-season for Tom Brady. First he finds out that he might be having 2 kids with 2 different "extremely hot" women, and then he finds out that he will actually have real receivers to throw the ball to when the NFL season starts again. The Patriots are definitely winning Free Agency right now and no one should be happier than "Mr. Tuck Rule" himself. Last year he had a bug-eyed freak as his #1 and now he has Stallworth, Welker and Kyle Brady. These guys are real targets that can actually catch the ball.


You might want to lock up the Daddy-to-be early for your upcoming Fantasy squad. If Stallworth can stay healthy he might have a career year also. I know Brady likes to spread things around (especially his man juice), but I think with a real big play threat like Stallworth Brady will chuck it his way more times than you think. I think the AFC East is in trouble along with most of the NFL. Being a Raider fan I loath Brady and can't wait till some Defensive End take his head off, but we all know that will never happen as he has been anointed the "Golden Child". If they trade for Moss then I'll be convinced the NFL is rigged.

A quick Raider note: Maybe we can sign some more RB's (Jordan, Rhodes, Griffith, Fargas, etc...) or TE's (Anderson, Wakefield, Steward, etc...) as it looks like we don't have enough of them on the roster. Maybe we can trade some of our Offensive Line because we have so many Pro-Bowlers to choose from.

The Real Super Bowl MVP Signs With The Raiders

Everyone knows that Peyton Manning wasn't the MVP of the Super Bowl. It should have been Dominic Rhodes, who just signed a 2 year deal with the Raiders.

It's about time that we started getting some players in free agency. Now we just need to get an entirely new Offensive line, a Quarterback, some Receivers that actually want to play for the team and get rid of the Crypt Keeper and we'll be good. In a perfect world we would trade Porter to Indy for their entire Offensive Line. Trade Moss to Cincinnati for Carson Palmer. Trade Jordan to any team that has an actual running back and get Calvin Johnson #1 in the draft.

In other NFL Signing News:

Reuben Droughns was traded to the NY Giants for Tim Carter. Not sure what the Giants are thinking here. Droughns is garbage and has problems off the field. That's the best they could do? Good luck with all that.

LET THE RUMORS FLY

One of the latest Randy Moss rumors has the Packers offering up Aaron Rodgers for his services. As a Raider fan I really like the idea of this trade. Although I'm not totally convinced that Rodgers is the Raiders QB of the future, it would mean that they are more interested in Calvin Johnson (manimal). I have also read rumors that maybe they would look to trade Houston to get David Carr. Either way, I like it. Knowing Al Davis he will probably still draft Ja"Fatty" Russell. Davis likes drafting useless Quarterbacks (see Todd Marinovich).

We also need to dump Porter and use him for trade bait to get some offensive line help. As you know none of this will really happen, but it is nice to talk about.

Should have called "TAILS"

The Cleveland Browns have won the coin toss? I can't remember hearing about a coin toss. Browns general manager Phil Savage and Tampa Bay GM Bruce Allen flipped a coin this morning at the NFL Combine and Bruce Allen called "TAILS", it was "HEADS". Guess what? Just one more thing you suck at. I really think that it doesn't matter. I think the teams are looking at different players anyway. Cleveland will be taking Adrian Peterson (if they don't have a brain fart) and Tampa Bay will be lucky getting the best player in the draft (Calvin Johnson - aka Manimal). I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how it's going to work out. If Cleveland decides to go another way I think they will be screwing themselves. Peterson is going to be a Pro Bowl running back and they need a back way more then they need another receiver or a quarterback (Brady Quinn is overrated).

One thing that Tampa Bay has that Cleveland doesn't is cheerleaders. Why don't the Browns have any links to their cheerleaders? Are they that scary? The Tampa Bays cheerleaders are hot and they actually advertise them (nice!!!). Keep up the good work. A few more for good measures:
