Clearance for Westbrook Means Nothing

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

According to ProFootballTalk.com, Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook was told by doctors he would make a full recovery.

The fact of the matter is clearance from doctors nowadays mean nothing in regards to concussion.

What the report means is that there will be no symptoms right now.

However, the hidden problem is that multiple concussions build up tau proteins that result in mental diseases later in life.

In the end Westbrook is at a point where the next concussion can do a lot of damage and really needs to evaluate if football is that important.

Romo’s Performance Means Nothing

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is having another solid regular season like he did a couple years ago.

What people need to remember is that Romo’s performance in the regular season means nothing.

Romo’s reputation is that when the games become more important he starts to choke.

If Romo is going to become an elite quarterback he needs to perform like this in the playoffs, and lead the Cowboys to a win.

In the end I’ll be excited when he wins in the playoss, because that is what it is all about.

Will Westbrooks Comments Fall on Deaf Ear?

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook’s admitted to The Intelligencer that the consussion he suffered a couple of weeks ago.

Even with Westbrook being a prominent player you have to wonder if most players will listen.

It has been recently discivered that the long term effects of concussions later in life in life brings mental diseases.

This has been a big issue with retired players as many of them have become disabled fron injuries they have suffered while paying.

However, the current players have pretty much have ignored it as several players like Baltimore Ravens center Matt Birk has come up with event to help the retired player, which had minimal success.

In the end with Congress also having hearings on the situation of retired players, along with Wesdtbrook’s comment, current players will realize that if they do not take injuries more seriously their health will deteriorate more quickly later in life.

This Sunday the Cowboys play in a huge game as they play the Philadelphia Eagles this week who is in a first place tie for the NFC East.

The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a huge win against the New York Giants.

This is also the first time the Cowboys have played the Eagles since the blow out 44-6 loss to the Eagles in regular season finale.

In the end if the Cowboys don’t win Sunday they will most likely miss the playoffs again as their schedule only gets tougher now.

Eagles Find Out Why Bills Gave Up Peters

Monday, October 19th, 2009

When the Buffalo Bills traded away tackle Jaspn Peters to the Philadelphia Eagles it surprised many people.

Not even after one year the move looks to have paid off for the Bills.

According to ProFootballTalk.com Peters has a knee contusion and a sprained ankle.

The fa9t of the matter is that Peter’s body cannot withstand the rigors of football as every year something goes on him.

Yes, injuries are apart of the game, but those are bumps, bruises, and sore muscles.

Peters on the other hand has sttrained his groin late in the regular seasons the past two years.

The Bills in return use the pick on guard Eric Wood who is already looking like a Pro Bowl player.

In the end the Eagles will regret giving up a first rounder for Peters.

Buffalo.Bills cornerback Ashtobn Youboty had the same type of injury last year.

An Interesting Move in Washington

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

The Washington Redskins announced the hiring of Shern Lewis to be a consultant foe the offense.

The move is definitely interesting move in many ways.

The Redskins early last year had a dominant offense as they ran the football with ease and quarterback Jason Campbell looked great.

Howwever, things changed as the year went on due to teams catching on to what they were doing.

It is obvious this year that head coach Jim Zorn did not add a lot of new wrinkles as the offense has been bad from the start.

The hiring of Lewis should jolt the coaching staff as it unintentionally sends a message that what they are doing is unnacceptable.

CBS analyst Charlie Casserly calls the move the kiss of death, which could be true since this is a deperate move.

In the end it is all up to the players and their reaction to this as it will make them better or a ticking time bomb.

Just Plain Sloppy

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

The grass at Fed Ex Field, which is the home of the Washington Redskins, has already taken a beating.

With the field not being replaced till next week the field will be sloppy this Sunday, which characterizes the whole organization.

The last straw took place this past Tuesday when U2 held a concert there.

Last month U2 held a concert at Soldier field, home of the Chicago Bears, and the grass was immediately replaced.

With thousands of people trampling the field when the the game starts Sunday there are going to be huge chunks of lossened grass from the concert.

What the whole situation shows is the stupiditry of the Redskins as someone this Sunday is surely going to suffer a season ending injury due to the ground giving away.

In the end as long as Dan Snyder owns the Redskins they will always be a mess.

Nike’s Gamble

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mike Vick lost a ton of deals after the news of his dog fighting ring coming out.

With Nike announcing that they have signed a endorsement deal with Vick it is obvious they are gambling on his street credibility.

Sneakers are a big thing in the urban community as it is a part of making one look cool with his peers.

Working at a shoe store in the Galleria Mall everytime a big name player’s shoes come out, like Michael Jordan’s shoes, by the end of the week the shoe would be gone.

Street credibility, or a simply a player getting arrestted, goes a long way in the urban community.

Yes, we live in a free country where businesses are free to do business with whoever they want.

In the end if you don’t like what Vick did then simply don’t let your kid buy it, because after all you are the parent.

NFL Drops the Ball

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

The National Football League caught Dallas Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams for the third time leg whipping a defensive end.

The NFL dropped the ball as they only fined Adams a measely $7,500 for it.

That is down right appaulling as in week two a leg whip hurt New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck.

The fine will do nothing as Adams simply doesn’t care as long as the leg whip doesn’t get penalized.

In the end something will only be done when a player breaks his neck due to the trip.
