We Want Favre….and Chicken Wings!!!
The preseason doesn’t start for more than a month, but there are already plenty of stories to follow before the season kicks off on September 10th.
Favre and Away
Of course, the biggest story is the possible return of Brett Favre. After retiring twice Favre is talking about making another return, this time with the Minnesota Vikings. Since the Vikings and Packers play in the same division, this would actually make people pay attention to the NFC North for the first time in a long time. Hopefully he avoids dragging out his decision. I doubt it though.
Forgetting Brandon Marshall
After trading away franchise QB Jay Cutler, the Denver Broncos appear to be ready to grant WR Brandon Marshall his recent request for a trade, as well. Great off season, huh? On the field, Marshall is one of the most talented receivers in the league. Off the field, he enjoys stabbing his girlfriend with forks and slipping on McDonald’s wrappers. If any team decides to trade for him, they will immediately improve their team. Unfortunately, they will also get a ton of headaches.
The Brady Bunch
Tom Brady is Back. You've Been Warned.
Last year Tom Brady threw for only 76 yards before a knee injury ended his season. Now he’s back and the Patriots appear ready for another Super Bowl run. Plus, he married a supermodel, which should only improve his quality of life.
Legal Trouble
Both Plaxico Burress and Michael Vick are awaiting Roger Goddell’s ruling on their availability for this upcoming season. Plaxico shot himself so I think he’s suffered enough. Imagine the shit he got from his friends? Both could make immediate impacts on NFL teams if given the opportunity. The commissioner will probably rule on both situations closer to the start of the season.
Rookie QB’s
After the success of Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan, I expect the Lions and Jets to force their rookie signal callers into action ASAP. Matthew Stafford will probably have the chance to watch Daunte Culpepper for at least half the season before he is asked to quarterback the team. Jets rookie Mark Sanchez won’t be so lucky. Expect him to start from day one with some good games and some not.
