Random News Shit: NFL Old Head Edition

1) LaDainian Tomlinson In Talks With Vikings, Jets LaDainian Tomlinson Sign 2-Year Deal With Jets
Wait, wait, wait, so the Vikings let Chester Taylor walk, and the Jets let Thomas Jones go for the possibility to get L.T.'s corpse?? Yeah, Taylor and Jones are both on the wrong side of 30 as well, but at least they have something left in the tank. Did these 2 teams see LaDainian play last year?? He just hits the hole and falls down, he's doner than done at this point.

Oh well, if L.T. and his agent can convince one of these clubs to give him a bunch of money even though he's a shell of himself, then more power to him.

I wrote all that before L.T. signed and I didn't feel like wasting it so I just crossed it out lol. Anyway, L.T. has chosen the New York over the Minnesota to house his remains for the 2010 season. Good luck with that New York.

2) Browns Sign Jake Delhomme
So the Browns got rid of Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn to bring in Jake Delhomme?? Really, Jake Delhomme?? I can't wait to hear how they try to sell that one to the fans in Cleveland.

And I'm not saying Anderson or Quinn were the answer in Cleveland, but outside of JaMarcus Russell, Delhomme was easily the next worst QB in the NFL last season. I mean, the guy threw 18 picks in 11 games, he was a turnover machine. Then to make matters worse, as soon as he got hurt, the Panthers instantly got better with Matt Moore at the helm. I hope Browns are planning on taking a QB with one of those many draft picks this April because a terrible Browns team plus Jake Delhomme as the starter may equal the 2nd 0-16 team in 3 years.

3) Bengals Choose Antonio Bryant Over T.O.
Despite Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson pleas on Twitter, Terrell Owens will NOT be lining up across the field from him next year in Cincinnati. Instead that position will be filled by ex-Cowboy, Buc, Brown, and 49er, Antonio Bryant.

Now yall know I'm a major supporter of T.O., but they probably made the right choice. I mean, of course Bryant is younger, but you just wouldn't wanna do that to Carson Palmer. The man already has to deal with the artist formerly known as Ocho, you can't just throw T.O. in there. Smart move. Well, if Bryant is healthy. If he isn't then they might as well take a chance on Owens.

4) Chiefs Add Thomas Jones
Nice addition by the Chiefs! Jamaal Charles is obviously the man in KC now, but Jones is definitely going to be able to help them. The Jets WILL regret choosing L.T. over Jones.

5) Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson working out of the same backfield?? Man, if this was 2005 it would be on!

6) Dolphins Bring Back Chad Pennington
Smart move I say. Chad Henne is the man in Miami, but it'll be good for the youngster to have a proven veteran behind him (no homo). He also knows that if he doesn't play well he could get pulled quicker with Pennington back there oppose to Pat White or Tyler Thigpen.

1) Felix Jones Out 1-2 Weeks With Knee Strain
This pisses me off because Felix is so fuckin' good, but he just can't seem to not be hurt. Last year it was a hamstring and that turned into a toe and that turned into injured reserve. Week 1 in Tampa he tweaked his quad and now his he strained a ligament in his knee. Its so frustrating! Felix giveth and then he taketh away. I hope MBIII will be good to go Sunday. I mean Tashard can definitely carry the load either way, but MB is a better blocker and short yardage back.

2) Quinn Benched For Anderson In Cleveland
It sure is a good thing Eric Mangini waited until Week 1 to name a starter. He sure did psych-out all his opponents so far this year. Great strategy by the artist formerly known as "Man-genius." Congrats to Derek Anderson, but the Browns are just freakin' bad. He and Quinn are really just in lose-lose situations regardless and they are gonna lose this Sunday when they face the Bengals.

3) Panthers Sticking With Delhomme As Starter
Two touchdown, 7 interceptions, 0 wins. That's the story for Jake Delhomme this year, but the Panthers of Carolina have decided to stick with him as their starter. Then again, what other choice do they really have?? Play A.J. Feely?? Yeah, that's not gonna cut it. Oh well, I don't relaly care what happens with him now, I just wanted him to still be around by the time the Cowboys played them and he was.

4) Dolphins Acquire Thigpen, Place Pennington On IR
I understand them adding another QB, but what in the hell did they draft Pat White for?? Either way, I honestly believe Chad Henne is gonna shock a few people and open a few eyes as the Dolphins starter. Only time will tell.

5) Jackonville Jaguars Would Consider Playing Home Games In Orlando
Now keep in mind, they only said they'd consider it if the NFL expanded to 17 or 18 games. I can't knock them those because you have to do what you have to do to get butts in the seats. The Jags can't afford to be a bad team because they don't have a loyal enough fanbase built up.

I think the end result is probably going to be the Jacksonville Jaguars becoming the Los Angeles Jaguars or the Orlando Jaguars in a few years.

1) Chad Pennington Out For Season
And at this point you have to wonder if he's done for his career because this is far from his first injury. Its kinda sad because I've never heard one bad thing about they guy.

Now the question is where does this leave the Dolphins?? The Chad Henne era is now under way so we can see what the kid has to offer. After he got that first interception out of his system, he didn't look half bad and led his team on a touchdown drive. This might turn out to be a good thing because Henne may be able to open up the passing game a bit more than Pennington could. I mean at the end of the day the Dolphins still have the hardest schedule in the league so I'm not expecting much from them either way.

2) Marion Barber Inactive Verses Panthers
No surprise here. I'm actually glad because I didn't want him to make the quad worse. I hope Felix and Tashard are ready to go, but I'm sure they are. I'm guessing Tash is going to start and Felix is gonna remain in his same role, but we shall see.

3) Leftwich Benched
Not only did he get benched in the game against the Giants yesterday, but he's down to third on the depth chart. I can't be too mad at the Bucs for doing this though because Leftwich had only thrown for like 22 yards before he got yanked. He and JaMarcus Russell are making black quarterbacks look BAD.
