Blount reinstated

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Many remember when Oregon’s running back LeGarrette Blount was suspended. I’m sure many replayed the clip over and over again when he punched a Boise State player. The reinstatement was approved by Pacific-10 Conference commissioner Larry Scott. As a result of the suspension he missed eight games. He will luckily be able to play on Saturday against Arizona State. Blount has shown plenty of gratitude and appreciation for the reinstatement. We wish him luck with all his future endeavors.

Ricky Stanzi injured high ankle sprain

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi was taken to the locker room after a hard hit in the second quarter. He has injured his ankle and will be sidelined. A local Iowa radio network reported that Stanzi suffered a high ankle sprain.
Stanzi was drilled by Corey Wootton in the end zone, and his fumble was recovered by Marshall Thomas for a touchdown that brought Northwestern within 10-7. As a result Stanzi was limping as he was helped off the field.
He has been replaced by freshman James Vandenberg. We wish Stanzi a quick recovery.

On Monday George Kokinis the general manager of the Cleveland Browns was escorted out of the teams facility. It is rumored that the escort out was the result of being fired.  Kokinis was brought in to help the team after the Browns had hired Mangini, who coached last year with the New York Jets.

The Cleveland Browns has struggled in all aspects of the game and fell to 1-7 with a 30-6 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Lerner said Sunday night he is “sick” about the state of his NFL team but he will not make a coaching change.   Lerner did tell the Plain Dealer and Akron Beacon-Journal on Sunday that he would not fire Mangini during the club’s bye week. Lerner did say he would like to bring in a “strong, credible, serious leader” to help run his team.
Mangini believes his process for turning around the team will work despite a horrid first half of the season.

Monday, October 26th, 2009

On Monday the University of Michigan’s President Mary Sue Coleman that the NCAA has given the school a notice of inquiry.  This inquiry symbolizes the start of an investigation.  The common practice is for the enforcement staff of the NCAA to look in to allegations, and send a letter of inquiry only when a violation may have occurred.
The NCAA investigation took place after The University of Michigan started looking into allegations brought against Rich Rodriguez’s program in August after a report in the Detroit Free Press cited anonymous players claiming the amount of time they spent during the season and in the offseason exceeded NCAA limits.

“As I said at the onset of this review, we place the highest importance on the well-being of our student-athletes and the integrity of our program,” Coleman said in a statement. “We continue to work with the NCAA to ensure that a thorough and objective investigation occurs.”  Everyone will have to wait to see the outcome

Go Dolphins!

What a night for the Miami Dolphins and coach Tony Sparano.  Last night game against the Jets brings them to a 2-3 record for the season.

Running back Ronnie Brown took the snap with 10 seconds left and scored on a 2-yard keeper for the fifth lead change of the final period, giving Miami a wild 31-27 victory over the Jets on Monday night.

Newcomer Braylon Edwards Braylon  provided a big boost for the Jets, and two fake punts fooled the Dolphins. But Miami gained 110 yards with the wildcat, which was instrumental in three touchdown drives, including the last one.

“Like anything else, if you execute, good things will happen,” Brown said.

Jets coach Rex Ryan was annoyed the wildcat kept working.

“I used to see all those gimmicks when I was coaching back in college,” Ryan said. “I’ve been a part of some bad performances before on defense, just not this bad.”

The Jets and Dolphins put on an offensive show in the final quarter as the lead changed hands several times.

The Dolphins started from their own 30-yard line with 5:05 left, trailing 27-24, and mounted a 13-play drive for the winning score. The march included four wildcat plays for 25 yards, the last on third down at the 2.

“We were in the huddle and said, ‘We’ve got to score a touchdown. No settling for field goals. We’ve got to finish the game,’” Brown said.

He ran up the middle, found a seam and crossed the goal line with 6 seconds to go. Even Brown’s teammates on the sideline were surprised by the call.

Chad Henne threw both of his TD passes on play action, including the 53-yarder to Ted Ginn Jr. when he scored with four defenders chasing him into the end zone. He had a perfect passer rating on play-action passes.

“That’s why we are players and not coaches,” Miami defensive tackle Jason Ferguson said. “All of us were talking about, ‘Why won’t you pass it?’ Because we got a touchdown, that’s why.”

The resilient Dolphins (2-3) came from behind three times in the fourth quarter, and they’re back in the AFC East race after losing their first three games. The Jets (3-2) have lost two straight and fell into a tie with New England for first place.

Brett Favre’s performed unbelievably in the Minnesota Vikings win over the Green Bay Packers.

Favre played 16 of his 19 pro seasons with the Packers.  He is now the only player to win against all 32 NFL teams.  Minnesota over the Packers 30-23.

Brett Favre has won three NFL Most Valuable Player awards and a Super Bowl title with the Green Bay Packers.  He was let go in 2008.

Hollywood Collectibles carries hand signed Brett Favre autographs.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said that the rating is “expected” to be a record when final numbers come out.

Minnesota’s win drew a 14.2 rating, which may turn out to be the biggest audience for a cable- television program.  Each rating point represents 1.114 million homes.

The largest cable audience for a Monday night game until now was 12.95 million for the Dallas Cowboys’ 41-37 victory over the Eagles on Sept. 15, 2008. That also was a record for any cable program.

Brett may be getting older but he still wows the crowd and wins the game.

Congratulations Brett

Manning will play despite inflamed tissue

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Manning_Sm_signedNew York Giants quarterback Eli Manning suffered soreness and swelling in the heel and arch area on the bottom of his foot. The injury was most likely caused when Manning got up on his toes as he dropped back and attempted to pass to Steve Smith in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game in Kansas City.  After the MRI Russell Warren who is the team physician gave him clearance to play the Oakland Raiders over the weekend.  Eli manning will play if he can tolerate the pain.   Unfortunately for Manning this is an injury that develops over time and lingers.  We hope Manning has a speedy and healthy recovery.
