I'm Back!

Wow, it's been a busy week for me, not much blogging time, I apologize. So, I've been getting 3503459034 text messages from ESPN today about the NFL and what next season's schedules are looking like. So far, it looks like we got some pretty good Thanksgiving games with Saints at Cowboys, Patriots at Lions and Bengals at Jets. I'm looking forward to the 2010 season, even though last season just ended in February and despite the fact that my Birds are making some drastic changes. I feel like most teams are making some pretty serious changes for next season, with the Seahawks and their new coach Pete Carroll, the Redskins and McNabb, Ben Roethlisberger and his Steelers, I don't know what his penalty is going to be yet but his team is going to have to cope with his loss. With all the draft picks coming in starting Thursday it should be an interesting season in 2010. I forget who I heard say it but someone on ESPN said this draft is the best one in 15 years and I would have to agree. There are so many talented quarterbacks who are showing amazing progress and even the running backs, safeties and wide receivers are top prospects, among many more. After my internship last fall at WNEP-TV Channel 16 in Scranton, PA, I got a better understanding for college football and learned to appreciate the intensity and the genuine love these boys have for the game. I always forget that these boys are my age and are amazing athletes. I really got to know teams such as Florida, Michigan, Penn State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Iowa and a few others. I really liked watching Golden Tate from Notre Dame. His work ethic and speed really stood out to me and even though Notre Dame wasn't a championship team this year, I really enjoyed watching Tate. But, I will admit I am a Tim Tebow fan. What college girl isn't? Aside from his stunning looks, he is a darn good quarterback. I know a lot of commentators have been saying that he is not going to do well in the NFL and that he's just a good leader. But, I would have to say that his leadership will take him a long way. Let's face it, the kid knows the game and he's obviously emotional and cares a lot for the game, judging by his final game in Gainesville. I have not seen his quarterback camp with Jon Gruden yet, but I have faith that his new form will take him places and he may not be the best quarterback next season but he has the potential to make it big time within the next five years. It's a stretch but, hey, anything can happen! I still have to look at the videos from Todd McShay on ESPN to learn more but I'm going to go out on a limb and based on the things I have been hearing I'm going with Sam Bradford from the Oklahoma Sooners as the number one pick.

One more thing before I finish and tune into the Flyers and Devils game, I just want to comment on McNabb's request for Terrell Owens. I do not like that at all. I said it in the beginning and I'll say it again, this McNabb trade is going to bite us and bite us real bad. If the whole thing pulls through with the Redskins acquiring Owens, my worst nightmare has come true. Again. The first time it came true when Owens went to the Cowboys the season after his years with the Birds. Philly thought THAT was bad, well I think this just might be worse. The NFC East is going to be a hot mess next season and that I can not wait for. Also, I know I said one last comment but this I thought was important...Texas RB Vondrell McGee was charged with a DWI. I found it interesting that ESPN said the school is planning to suspend him for at least one game. I really hope the consequences are a little more severe than just one game. Just putting that out there.
