The weekend finally came!

So, this past weekend it was the draft. For all you who do not know its the 75th year of drafting so drafting is a very important event to NFL folks. Well, this year the draft was an absolutely emotion disaster! There were teams who had good news, shocking news, bad news and decent news. Instead of talking about every person and what team they were drafted too I am going to just talk about the ones I felt were a big shocker too me. For me that was how actually decent the Raiders did in their drafting. They did smooth decision instead of their quick people they drafted. I am surprise they picked up Darrius Heyward-Bey seventh. I thought that was kind of quick to pick him up considering he wasn't priority for my top favorite players. But, otherwise the players that the Raiders choose was great. I was just mainly shocked how well they Raiders did this year. In previous years they did not do that well. But, of course I can't leave without talking about my Giants and who they received. I was excited that they picked up Jason Pierce-Paul I been following him and I feel he will be very beneficial for the Giants. Many people never heard of him but he is quick and has strength! We need that type of qualities on the Giants. Another person they picked up in which I was very happy about from the Nebraska Team was Phillip Dillard. I was actually thinking lately that we need another linebacker so I am glad we picked him up. He seems very dedicated and tough player who will complete the duties of a rookie. The drafting was very interesting to watch even my own mother was informing me all the rounds when I was not able to be watching it!

Ah! So does anyone know what this weekend is! It is drafting time! I am so excited !! I can not wait to see what teams choose what players. I feel that many teams needs new players for different positions. For example, I feel the New York Giants need a receiver. Lately, our receivers have been someone who you would consider butterfingers. We need a player who can catch the ball and keep control of the ball. People said are issue was the quarterback but in all reality Eli Manning is a great quarterback its our receivers that need more work. This draft is making all teams very antsy. Everyone is curious how this drafting is going to occurs. Some football fans who I have chatted with have even said they aren't sure how they are going to like these drafting changes. People are wondering if there teams are going to make good decisions or bad decisions. However, the really mystery is who, what, when and to where is the number 1 draft going to be. I can not wait until the weekend is finally here! For other news I found out the first team my New York Giants will be playing in the off season! The New York Giants will be playing against the Panthers. I do not know the locations and what time and day but as soon as I know I will post the info!

Seattle Getting Ready

In the NFL all teams must be prepared in case people leave or change. For example, the Seattle is getting prepared in case LT Jones retire. Now who is LT Jones? For all those who are not familiar with Football and Jones, LT Jones has been playing NFL football for 13 seasons he is on on the Sea-hawks and is 36 years old. His position in football as an OT. LT Jones has been in and out of rehabilitating due to a serious knee injury. He has gone through surgery to surgery to get his knee to be much better but due to age its quite hard to be perfect again. The Coach of the Sea-hawks pretty much stated that we can not sit around and wait to hear what LT Jones is going to do. We must move on and assume that he will not be returning, if he does return back to the team it will just be an extra bonus to the team. My feel to this situation is I am on the coaches side. People can not wait around for people to let them know if they are returning or not. If every NFL team waited for players to inform they they will returning or retiring last minute the NFL teams will have no practice and be horrible. I am very curious to see what happens for the Sea-hawks team and if LT Jones will be retiring. I think he should retire though especially with his age condition.

Redskins get a New QB

Breaking news happened over the weekend which for some reason I never saw it coming. But, the Eagles quarterback is no long their quarterback. Washington, Redskins now have McNabb as their new QB. In all fairness it was stated that he most likely would rather be with the Eagles for the 12th season but of course that did not happen. McNabb is 33 years old and has a decent record as a quarterback. Now my say on this, I do really like the Eagles whoever they lose I usually get excited as long as they do not take my Giants players! But, in all fairness the Redskins do need a good quarterback. The Redskins records lately have not been best to their ability. I believe that maybe McNabb we do good for their team and help them get back on track. I can not wait until the season begins because I am very interested in seeing all these trades but to work. Actually, I want pre-season to begin cause that is when you see what time is hot!

Drama in the real world of football players

So lately I have been discussing about football teams and about drafting on different teams. I figured I change it up this week. I recently just read an article dealing with the NFL player Holmes from the team the Steelers. According to the Police Holmes is some how involved with an incdent that occurred in Orlando, Florida. In a night club where Holmes was hanging out a woman claimed he had threw a cup at her. Holmes stated, "another woman hit her with the cup". But, what seem to be something so small came out to be something bigger than it really should be unless Holmes is lying. Holmes told the police that the woman who said that Holmes threw a cup at her actually grab his arm and into her face and called her unnecessary names because he asked for his seat back in VIP section. Both stories seem not o be connecting or smiliar. In my opinon I believe the woman who Holmes was who is a Super Bowl XLIII MVP and decided to take advantage of him. I do not understand a person sueing or filing a law suit for a so call thrown of a cup. Although, Holmes is involved with possession of marijuana I still think he is taken advantage in this particular case.

Hard Times

It's the off season and coaches, players and managers are still in debates on who to keep on their team, who they want to pick up or who to get rid of it. It is hard decisions for everyone they have to look at not only themselves in the situation but how are they beneficial to the team. For the New York Giants there is one player who both the coaches are struggling in decided if they should keep him to the team. This player is Umenyiora. Giants coaches do not know if they want to keep him on the team for next season because of his injury and other side conflicts that occurred. During the off season Umenyiora is trying to keep his head held one and avoid any controversy. Instead of Umenyiora putting his input in how he feels about not knowing if he is going to be on the team for the season he is just assuming he is and doing his best. Umenyiora promised that he would be no issues for the Giants and trying his best not to upset the Giants. I feel bad for Umenyiora he is a good player although, he did have injuries and rough patches during seasons. I think the New York Giants should take into consideration that he is doing his best not to get the media involved. It is hard times for him and the time and I hope the New York Giants take him back.

Certain things can't change the Dolphins minds

Although, Jason Ferguson who was traded in 2008 from the Dallas Cowboys to the Miami Dolphins is suspended to 8 games in 2010. This suspsension was lead because he failed to follow the rules and regulations of the league's performance enhancing drug program. Now with this suspension of not being able to play the first games of the 2010 season you would think either Ferguson would go into retirement since really no one would draft him or pick him up to be on a team. Well, wrong the Miami Dolphins decided to re-sign Jason! Supposedly, the Dolphins had stated that the re-signing of Jason had no reference to this violation. I think its very intersting that the Dolphins did not take into consideration the fact Jason did not follow rules but still the re-sign him. It will be interesting in the season of 2010 after 8 games how long it takes to play him. Jason is 35 and had a major injury due a sidelining incident back in one November. Many people assume Jason was going to retire but I guess that answers everything opinions. I can not wait until the football season starts again!
