Seeing Into the Future

On March fifth Von Miller,linebacker for the Denver Broncos, guaranteed that his team would win the Super Bowl next year.  This came on the heels of his little cousin getting into a car accident a week ago and coming out of his coma just a few days ago.  Miller said he is inspired because of what his cousin went through in the last week, so he was motivated to make some predictions about next year.

I think it is quite funny when professional athletes make predictions, because it always becomes a bigger story than it should, and usually is not right, considering a lot can change from now til next February.  But Vegas seems to agree with Miller, since it has the Broncos as a 7-1 favorites to win, right behind the Patriots and the 49ers.  When athletes make predictions the media blows it way out of proportion, saying they are cocky and brash, when I think every athlete guarantees they are going to win but some say it to the media and some do not, we only hear about the ones who speak out loud.  I think it is a good thing, it can motivate other teams to do their best as well as the team of the player who makes the prediction.  Solution, one player from every team should say they are going to win the Super Bowl, then all chaos would ensure!

Now I do not think the Broncos will win the Super Bowl but it would not surprise me if they did.  The offense is set to make another run for the playoffs.  They have one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever played the game in Peyton Manning.  But they are going to need Manning to stay healthy and perform just as well as he did in 2012 when he won the Comeback Player of the Year.  At running back they played a plethora of people last year.  Willis McGahee started the year and did a great job until he hurt his knee on a run.  Then they used a committee of backs until they activated Knowshon Moreno and he ended the year on a tear, as shown by the number of fantasy points he got for my team. The receivers may be one of the deepest set of wide outs in the league with Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas as starters.  They did an amazing job last year catching passes from Manning.

The defense could be the question mark heading into this off season for the Broncos.  Other than Elvis Dumervil, they really could not put much pressure on the quarterback with there front line.  The Broncos have stocked the linebacker core with great players, such as the above forecaster Von Miller who registered 18.5 sacks all by himself.  Also Wesley Woodyard is a great player that can rush the quarterback from the linebacker position.  I think the real problem lies in the secondary, where their best player is Champ Bailey and he is "seasoned" at the age of 34.  And their other players are not as talented as a Super Bowl team should have, so this could be addressed in free agency or in the draft.  I think if the Broncos could find a defensive lineman or two and a few defensive backs, they could be a real contender in the playoffs next year.      But like I said you never know whats going to happen even in the next few months.

Here is a highlight video from last year of the Broncos, see if they are Super Bowl worthy in 2014.

What Am I Doing Out Here

These were the words that Brett Favre uttered to himself while once again lying on the ground after a 300 pound lineman took him to the turf. As a Vikings fan, I do not want to hear words like this coming from my quarterback, no matter how much i dislike him. I am a Vikings fan through and through no matter who is my quarterback...even Brett Favre. But having said that it is time for Brett "Flip Flop" Favre to take a permanent vacation away from the NFL, before he dies. I have not watched a Vikings game for the last three weeks because I cant stand that Brett Favre is not playing because he loves the game anymore, he wants to play so he can prove to everyone that despite his age, injuries, and stupidity, that he still gives the Vikings there best chance to win. This is garbage, he can barely move, every time he gets hit it takes about an hour for Favre to pull himself off the turf. It just kills me to see him throw interception after interception because he does not know when to just take the sack and hold onto the ball. Let me speak to Brett Favre himself, your time is up old man, you keep holding on hoping that you will have one game that will make up for the crap you have put us through the last year and a half, well guess what its not gonna help, your washed up and need to realize it. Go spend some time with your hot wife and daughter and let this franchise move on.

Now that I have destroyed Brett Favre, let me convince everyone why Tavaris Jackson needs to be the starter...because HE GIVES US THE BEST CHANCE TO WIN, not Favre. Let's start with the fact that he is almost half Favre's age. He is young and mobile, much more less susceptible to injuries, and wont crumble to the turf after every hit. In 2008 when T-Jack had the opportunity to start 8 games he ended that season with 1000 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions, but immediately got shoved to the back when The Relic came to town. I don't think Jackson has gotten his chance to shine in the NFL yet, he has so much potential and his ceiling is high. The Viking fans love Tavaris, especially when he running down the field because they know Favre couldn't and wouldn't do that.

It is time for a change in Minnesota, Favre had his fun, ruined me as a fan, and now needs to move on and leave us alone. I dont know how Packer fans put up with this for so long...

Dez Bryant

I want to say that it is about time for everyone to leave Dez Bryant alone. He has gone through so much crap in the last year that has been blown out of proportion by the media, that it is starting to get really annoying. The things he has done arent anything a regualar kid wouldnt do, his are just more noticeable because he is a very talented football player. Lets keep this in mind Bryant is still only 21 years old, he is still maturing and the mistakes he makes should not surprise anyone, he is a kid, we make mistakes.

It all started when in 2009 Bryant lied to the NCAA about a meeting he has with ex NFL players Deion Sanders. It is not so much about the fact that he met with Sanders, but he did get suspended for lying about it here is good link to an article Link Now I know he shouldnt of done this, but lets cut him some slack, its like lying to your parents when after you stole a cookie, you are a kid, you dont know the rules of society, or sports as well as others. Bryant was probably unsure whether he has broken a rule, so he lied about the meeting. This is nothing a normal kid wouldnt do, we all lie, he just catches so much media attention for it. Now I am not saying that he shouldnt be punished for it, but the media needs to lay off him, he is just trying to live his life, and it is hard when you always see your name in the headlines.

Just the other day on ESPN I saw a link that was talking about how his mom in 2009 for selling cocaine Link, so what? What does this have to do with Dez playing football in the NFL. Just because the kid is considered to have "character issues" doesnt mean that anyone that is connected with him is going to affect his life. This just to me seems like the media has decided to pick on Bryant because he hasnt always been the perfect role model. It is just ridiculous what has been said about him, just let the kid live his dream and play football for the Cowboys in the NFL.
