Mangini Will be Lucky to Get Another Job

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini will most likely be fired at the end of the year.

With what happened at the end of the game on Monday Night Football Mangini will be lucky to have a job period.

At the end of the game the Browns tried a trick play that got wide receiver Josh Cribbs hurt.

The problem is that they were down 16 points and had no chance to win the game since it was the last play of the game.

In the end Mangini cares only about himself and will use any means to win even if it gets someone hurt, which will deter other owners and head coaches from hiring him.

Quinn Should be Suspended

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

On Monday Night Football Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn dove at Baltimore Ravebs linebacker Terrell Suggs’ knees after his second interception of the day.

With this being the second incident of a quarterback diving at a defender after an interception Quinn should be suspended.

Earlier this year New York Jets quarteeback Mark Sanchez dove at a defenders knees after he threw an interception.

That means Quinn knew fully well that doing what he did was wrong.

For that Quinn should be suspended a game for doing so as this type of conduct cannot be tolerated.

As a result of the incident Suggs was injured and it is not know right now how severe his injury is.

In the end Quinn needs to step up and appologize, because what he did was nothing more than juvinile.

Bengals are in Trouble Now

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

Earlier this week word broke out that Cincinnat Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco wanted to send a case of mustard to this weeks opponent in the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Eventhough Ochocinco was told not to by Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis a case still found its way there, which now means the Bengals are in trouble.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazett the package arived with a signature that said the fans of Chad Ochocinco.

Even if this was a Steelers fan setting up Ochocinco the fact of the matter is that the Steelers will be motivated and ready to go Sunday.

In the end the team needs to teach Ochocinco a lesson that makes sure he never even thinks about doing something like this.

Lewis Did the Right Thing

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is widely known for the antics he pulls after touchdowns and gifts that he sends upcoming opponents.

This week Ochocinco went to far and head coach Marvin Lewis did the right thing by stepping in and telling Ochocinco no before he followed through.

The Bengals this Sunday take on the Pittsburgh Steelers, which means that Ochocinco was going to send some mustard as a gift to the Steelers.

When Lewis found out what Ochocinco was going to do he immediately stopped him.

That was absolutely the right thing to do as this is the Steelers and they still have a great defense that is currently ranked fifth in the league in total defense going into this week.

However, most likely it is still too late as the Steelers will most likely just use the mere idea as motivation.

In the end if the Bengals lose they can all thank Ochocinco for his sheer stupidity.

Mangini is A Idiot

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

The Cleveland Browns are still one of the worst teams in the National Football League.

With what is now transpiring it is clear that Browns head coach Eric Mangini is a idiot.

According to ProFootballTalk.com, Mangini is once again keeping who his starting quarterback is a secret.

That is one of the most stupidest things to do.

His team stinks and needs to work more on the basics, but he finds it more important to be playing games with everyone. Which includes his team as the quarterbacks haven’t been told who is starting.

Also, onw quarterback takes the majority of snaps in practice, but now both will take an equal amoun.

That means neither will be properly prepared.

In the end Mangini should just be fired.

Ochocinco Just Can’t Stop

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco headlines today as on a Baltimore, MD raido station he admitted he sent care packages to the Baltimore Ravens secondary and to linebackers Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs.

Simply, Ochocinco doesn’t know when to stop.

What Ochocinco did is just sheer stupidity as this is the Ravens.

The last time somone did something of the sorts Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall wound up done for the year after the Ravens got word of his remarks.

The Ravens are a prideful bunch and all the stunt did is give them extra motivation in stopping the Bengals.

In the end Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis and quarterback Carson Palmer need to show him where to draw the line with his antics before it really costs them.

A Key Stretch for the Ravens

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

At the beginning of the season the Ravens looked like one of the teams to beat in the AFC North.

However, a playoff birth is on the line as the Ravens are heading into a key stretch of games.

According to the Baltimore Sun, over the next three weeks the Ravens face three straight opponents that are coming off their bye week.

To make matters worst the first two games are against the Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals followed by the Cleveland Browns.

With already being on a three game losing streak if the Ravens were to lose the next two games it would put a playoff birth in real jeopardy asĀ  after the Browns the Ravens face the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers twice.

In the end the next tree weeks will show what kind of team the Ravens really are.

The Breeding Ground

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

National Football League locker rooms are breeding grounds for viruses and bacteria as 65 players are crammed into close quarters.

There is no greater example of this than the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns earlier this week saw 12 players copme down with the flu.

Normally, that would be blown off to just being the flu season.

However, this is the Browns and they are notorius for a breeding ground of diseases.

The Browns have been hampered by staph infections as for several years now they have had at least one case.

It is obvious that most likely that the culprit of their problems is that someone who cleans the lockerroom is not using proper cleaning proceedures.

I know this from operating at one time a cleaning business and there are all sorts of horror stories; like someone cleaning hotel roonms using a brush to clean a toilet and then using that very same brush to clean the coffee pots.

In the end the Browns front office needs to bunker down and go over all the proper cleaning proceedures that the cleaners use.

Bengals Non Sell Out Baffling

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

The Cincinnati Bengals are a top of the Afc North with a 4-1 record.

Th( still has not translated to the box office as the Bengals are nowhere near selling it out.

It would be understanding if the Begals had a losing record.

However, they are looking great this year as their offense and defense is playing well.

On top of that they are coming off a huge win against the Baltimore Ravens from this past Sunday.

If this trend continues then Bengal fans need to start worrying as it is a clear sign that the city cannot or will not support its team anymore.

In the end Bengal fans better wake up, because this is after all what they been waiting for.

Will the Steelers be the Same?

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

The Pittsburgh Steelers got a dose of bad newa as defensive end Aaron Smith is out until Jabuary with a shoulder injury.

So, the question will the Steelers defense. Be the same?

Smith is a huge part of their defense even though he doesn’t get a lot of recognition.

Most likely Steelers rookie defensive lineman Ziggy Hood.will replace Smith.

In the end Hood still isn’t smith, which means that there will be some drop off from the defense.
