Week One Surprises

Hold on to Your Hats
How about dem Cowboys eh? It looks as if Wade Phillips has some work to do in Dallas. The Cowboys looked awful yesterday but thankfully for them there are still fifteen games left in the season. The Cowboys play my beloved Bears for their home opener and things should get a little bit interesting. The Bears didn't play their best football this week either but were able to edge out the Lions after a controversial call. Many Chicago fans were treating the game like a loss but a win is a win in my book.

Just for the record Forte is back. 151 receiving yards-- Say What? He's 100 percent this season so Dallas better bring the D or it's going to be a long season for Jerry Jones crew

Sign of the Times
The tide is turning in the AFC. The Texans ran all over Indy this weekend and may finally get over the hump this year. The Chiefs also made quite a statement after defeating the Chargers on MNF. I'm not too worried about San Diego because they usually start off their season pretty slow but I'm really happy for the Chiefs and my future husband T. Jones. I hope the Chiefs keep the momentum going. I love it when things get a little unpredictable in the NFL.

What Franchise ?
Things are not looking good for Rex Ryan's crew. The Jets only had 176 total offensive yards against Baltimore and next week thet have to play the Pats. The Patriots aren't looking to shabby this year and it seems as if Brady was unfazed by his recent car accident. All I know is that the Jets need to really step things up. The season has just begun but I'm not convinced the Jets can make a legitimate playoff run. I guess time will only tell.

The Jets also seem to be having some off the field troubles as well. I guess they missed the NFL's "Back to Football" memo.

Bringing Sexy Back

T-minus 4 days until I get to see this handsome man play on the football field. You would think that I'm a Vikings fan but I'd like to consider myself an in-the-closet Adrian Peterson junky. I will be a Bears fan for life. I bleed blue (Bear & Cubbie blue) but every time I see Adrian Peterson without his Vikings uniform on my heart skips a beat.




Speaking of Adrian Peterson, where are the NFL Fantasy & Nike Pro Combat commercials? I need my daily dose of Adrian ASAP.

Well that's all for tonight folks. I'm going to get some shut-eye so I can watch college football tomorrow. Cheers Pink Cleats Faithfuls.

Ready,Set,Fire!

Mr. Ochocinco wants to start off the new NFL season with a big bang. Chad has his eye on New England's Minutemen and is determined to take center stage at the Bengal's season-opener against the Patriots . Chad wants to fire the Minutemen rifle if he scores against the Patriots. I personally find this very amusing. If Chad can pull this one off it would be quite a stunt. The Commissioner might fine him but I'm sure another 25k won't hurt his pockets too much. I really encourage him to go for it actually. I thought his Lambeau leap was brilliant and true to form. I'm all about this kid's celebrations. I loved his HOF Jacket, his sombrero and his failed River Dance attempt. Chad just likes to have fun with things and it brings a little something extra to the game.

I know there are a lot of Steeler fans groaning somewhere right now but Chad's a smart guy who does his job well. It would be different if he was crappy receiver. Besides Chad's setting himself up for the future. People may hate his hollywood-style antics but in the end Chad is making money and will be able to establish a successful career after he retires from the NFL. It doesn't matter if you love Chad or love to hate Chad, he will always be a great entertainer who makes the gameday expereince a bit more interesting. Get your prophylactics ready for Sep.12th becuase no one turns down a big bang. Paging Dr. Russell? Dr. Russell?

Note: I'm trying to keep the blog PG-13. "Trying" being the operative word.

PINK Loves the NFL

Victoria Secret's PINK has a new NFL Collection and I'm super excited. The Bears Scoopneck Tee, Bling Pullover Hoodie and Hipster Knickers (Panties) are definitely on my wish list. Bravo to the creative minds over at Vicky S. I've always loved PINK but this is by far the best thing they've done to date. The one big catch is that there are only 13 teams represented. No team from the NFC West or the AFC South made the cut; however, all of the teams from the NFC East are represented. Fans snubbed by PINK can still go to the NFL Shop online and I would highly recommend visiting the site because they have some great items available. My favorite item is a maternity shirt that says “Kicker”. I would buy this shirt in a heartbeat but I’m not pregnant so it wouldn’t quite work out. Hopefully they'll keep the shirt around for a few more years.

Well that’s all for today folks. Good Luck with your fantasy football drafts. I have two that I am not prepared for at all but hopefully I can pull things together by tomorrow.
