Sam Bradford vs Tim Tebow: Where Are They Now Edition

                                           Tim Tebow                                                       Sam Bradford
                                                      

 I know its just the beginning of the season but I wanted to start making my comparisons. However, both Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow can proudly say that they were the star quarterbacks in their college careers. Bradford leading the Oklahoma Sooners and Tebow leading a highly publicized career with the Florida Gators. So who has it better?

• Tebow can proudly proclaim that he was the first sophomore to receive  "The Heisman Trophy" but Sam Bradford was right behind him and was awarded as the second sophomore the receive "The Heisman Trophy". - Tebow

• Their last season playing in college Tebow had a record of 21 touchdowns as opposed to Bradford's mere 2. - Tebow
•  However, they both ended their careers with a total of 88 touchdowns- X
• Bradford was the first pick of the NFL Draft  to the St. Louis Rams and Tebow was the twenty fifth pick to the Denver Broncos.- Bradford

• Bradford is the starting quarterback for the Rams with a 1-3 record and Tebow is the third backup quarterback for the Broncos with the same record of 1-3.-Bradford 

 Although it looks as if it is a tie, I say hands down Bradford has it better because he is actually playing in the game. I don't know if Denver's decision to make Tebow the THIRD backup is an attempt to develop him and better prepare him for football on a professional level. I mean, I'm sure they are calling themselves learning from the Tennessee and Young experiment, and protecting their investment for long term profits and all but I have been waiting for years to see how Tebow will play in a professional environment. I hope they make some changes soon because WE as AMERICANS need to see this boy play under pressure.   

When Screwing Up Cost You Your Job

Garrett Hartley

Now I don't wish unemployment on anyone, not even my worst enemy. However, when you play in the National Football League, one must know that they have NO loyalty to ANY player! Hartley was the kicker that helped New Orleans win the Super Bowl earlier this year. However, its a business, if you cost them or they feel you have become a liability, you can guarantee there will be another player in slot by the end of the business day!

The New Orleans Saints have allowed John Carney, a 46 year old veteran kicker, to return to workouts. Carney made his NFL debut back in 1988 when gas was 91 cent and a movie ticket was 3.50! His most recent job title was kicking consultant for the New Orleans Saints where he has held that title since they won the title of Super Bowl Champions.

There has been no word yet on who would be waived for Carney to receive an official spot on the roster. However, I hope this wakes up Hartley and have him kicking like a soccer player on steroids!

Will the Mentee school the Mentor?

October 3, 2010 will definitely be the game to watch!! Donovan McNabb will be facing a franchise that he spent ten years of his life playing for but is now being lead by Michael Vick. After Michael Vick's 18 month jail sentence in prison, McNabb took Vick under his wing and ushered him back into the game after being away and serving his time. Earlier this year, the Eagles traded McNabb to the Redskins, and announced that Kevin Kolb would be the new quarterback, which after two quarters, decided Vick would be the teams new leader.

Will the mentee school the mentor?

Girl Step Away from the T.V.

 I don't know why but I have been hearing alot lately that Sundays are boyfriend-girlfriend day! Who made that up- the single people? Anyway, what I do know is demanding your man take you to the park and look for household shrubbery is a recipe for disaster during any pre-game interviews, games, or post game interviews on Sunday afternoon. Chill, Relax, grab a beer, hand it to your man, and let him enjoy!!

Go Work Out
Anytime spent working on your body is time well spent. You can even call it your Sunday "Lunge"day. You have been yearning for the time to go running or biking so take advantage. By the time your done with your routine, he'll be ready to give you all the attention you need and you might just finish your work out in the bedroom-The Butterfly Effect anyone?

Become Top Chef
Pull out that recipe and learn something new! Let your creative juices flow and fire up that new recipe for salmon you've always wanted to try. Afterwards, you can enjoy a nice romantic dinner or just have a food fight with the ingredients you've totally screwed up. Either way its a win-win.

Take the Game to the Dome....or Arena
 I admit the games can be kind of boring if you have no clue whats going. So take things into your own hands and ask your man to get some tickets to the game. Better yet surprise him with some tickets! Being live in the game is a lot of fun. Being around the drunk people, laughing at the obnoxious fans, and experiencing the competitiveness of the teams in person will be something that is an experience you won't forget and an activity both you and your man can enjoy.

Compromise
How many times have you forced your man to watch "America's Next Top Model" or "Sex in the City"? So take one for the team and watch the game. It won't kill you. Ask him to go to the nearest sports bar and have a few drinks to take the edge off things and I bet by the end of the game you will be yelling at the screen if only to be part of the action.

Chicago 3-0 After Last Nights MNF

If you didn't watch last night Monday Night Football game, you missed out on an entertaining game. Now even though the team I picked to win, which was the Chicago Bears, beat the Green Bay Packers 20-17, the Packers put up a good fight. When Aaron Rodgers ran for the touchdown, I was on pins and needles! However, the Packers game was full of penalties (18) and for a second, I thought seeing how many yellow flags could be thrown their way was their main goal for getting suited up this game. Awarding them with the most Penalties and costing them the game but gaining me bragging rights to say that indeed I picked the right team.

Now alot of people are asking do the Bears carry around a little lucky leprechaun because they have to be one of the luckiest teams this season. Jay Cutlers interception wasn't counted due to a "roughing the passer" penalty and just overall the Bears were able to exploit every mishap by the Packers even though the Bears "bear"ly made it out alive and awarded them the title as being the only undefeated team in the NFC this season.

Monday Night Football 2010: Green Bay vs. Chicago Week 3

        I believe the Chicago Bears are gonna send the Green Bay Packers home tonight 2-1. Both teams are entering this game with a record of 2-0.Although some may contest the accuracy of the Bears record.

Chicago has had to prove themselves since the start of the season. In week 1 against the Detroit Lions, they prevailed 19-14 due to a quirky rule. Nonetheless, in week 2 they trampled over the Dallas Cowboys proving to everyone including themselves that they are a team to be reckoned with.


Jay Cutler, Chicago's quarterback, alone has thrown 649 yards, 5 touchdowns and only 1 interception since the first two games of the season. And with numbers 22 and 13 on the Bears side,they are sure to keep the momentum they need to beat Grandpa Farves replacement, Aaron Rodgers, along with the rest of his pack of cheese.

People Screwing Up at Things They are Paid to do.

Referee Carl Cheffers

He gets paid to referee but instead fumbled his words. Flag on the PLAY!!

Eli Manning

 The Giants just aren't the team they were a few seasons ago. Eli managed to not get sacked. Kudos to him for that but why didn't he just throw the ball away. He gambled the ball and he lost!

Garrett Hartley

Of course this missed field goal isn't the TOTAL reason for the Saints lost against the Falcons it was due mainly on the turnovers. However, if you are a kicker in the NFL, and all you do is prepare to kick all week, and you miss a 29 yard field goal attempt then you deserve to be in the hall of shame. The kick doesn't even deserve a video.

Sunday Review at Taco Mac

Today was an interesting day in the world of football. I met up with a close and dear friend of mine to talk about the games. Jael Roberson, known as, Jael the Great, is an actress. She has stared in movies such as 4 minutes and a host of other films.

I guess my coining the term "Redemption Sunday" must've put out some positive energy for the teams that needed it like the Vikings, Cowboys, and Titans. All, three teams managed to execute wins this Sunday. Titans skipped through a win against the Giants as if they were toddlers, Cowboys got there spunk back and trampled the Texans, and the Vikings finally gave their die hard fans a reason to celebrate and squashed the Lions.

Although I am proud of the wins needed by those teams, I still must say the Falcons and Eagles again had a more impressive and all around entertaining game today. Matt Ryan led his team with confidence that radiated throughout the entire game and never faltering even in the OT. Michael Vick had a big game and showed all the haters why he was chosen to be the leader of that football team.  I also was quite impressed with the amount of support Vick was receiving from Kolb. That Eagles team is a team to watch out for.

What Does it Mean when the Referee Does That?

Delay of Game

Holding

Loss of Down

For the football lover who absolutely loves the sport but has to ask their man or a nearby male bum for blow by blow details. I decided to give a rundown on the hand signals and what they mean. I know recently, in the Cowboys vs Redskins game the game was won by the Redskins due to a holding violation. Knowing what the referees are saying or hand gesturing can help your knowledge of the game and have you saying "What the hell" on cue with the big dogs!

Face Mask

Personal Foul

Unsportsmanlike Conduct

First Down

Too Many Men on the Feild

Illegal Contact

TSU stomps out FAMU

Being a native of Nashville, I am proud to say that Tennessee State University beat out Florida A&M 29-18. This win is a first after an 8 year losing streak against FAMU at the Atlanta Classic which is held at the Georgia Dome.

During this TSU vs FAMU weekend, I did some promotional modeling for Coors Light. I mean football and beer go together like Ocho Cinco and TO!! The event was fun yet strangely enough filled with NUPES along with a mixture of hometown friends visiting from Nashville for the game.







Lastly, let me mention, no matter how much fun it is to socialize and drink with friends, you must drink responsibly and be of the legal age. No exceptions!

September 26, 2010 Redemption Day

Why all the Hate When You Should Congratulate?

Tuesday, September 21, 2010 Andy Reid announced that Michael Vick would become the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. This would mean that Kevin Kolb would  be demoted to a nicely compensated backup quarterback after suffering a concussion in week 1's game against Green Bay. This move was made solely on the fact that Vick is just an altogether better player. In six quarters, Vick has delivered three touchdowns, and no interceptions,and 37 passes in 58 attempts for 459 yards. He has also ran for 140 yards and six first downs on just 18 carries.

However, this all comes to a surprise considering the fact that they recently traded Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins this past April and put their faith in Kevin Kolb. I at least would've expected them to save face and keep Kolb in the game a couple more weeks. But after only a half of a game's worth of  playing time from Kolb, was enough to convince Reid to make a swift, and in my opinion smart, decision to start Vick.

Fans had mixed reaction to the news. I just don't understand how anyone in their right mind wouldn't want Vick to help lead them to a potential Super Bowl win or at least a chance to the playoffs. Sometimes ignorance just kills me. The man has paid his debt to society for his past actions now lets move on and see what we know this man is very capable of doing which is leading this team to a victory.

Watch Kevin Kolbs reaction to the demotion.

Lets Talk About Sex.....or the Lack Thereof

Have you guys ever tried to cuddle up to your woman and she's just not in the mood or you've noticed its been a few days since your woman has been the slut that she normally is?  Don't fret or call Cheaters! She's probably just as confused and or frustrated as you are.  This is the time to sit with your partner and talk about sex!!

Vaginal Dryness
Sometimes our men just don't understand the importance of four play and just dive in as soon as the panties fly across the room and hit the ceiling fan. No sir!! Pump the brakes! Vaginal dryness can cause discomfort and anxiety about having sex, if it is a continuous issue. Talk to her. Learn her turn ons to get those juices flowing and if all else fails make a quick stop to your local CVS or Walmart to pick up some lubricants to make sex more pleasurable for the both of you.

Stress
Isn't stress the accomplice of every disease and health nuisance known to man. Well it doesn't stop there, stress will try to destroy your sex life, as well. I know a long day at work, the kids constant demands, and daily hustles and bustles can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Chill, relax, and get it on! Having sex can actually help you to combat those feelings of stress.

Hormonal Changes
A lot of younger women, think "I'm young and vibrant. I have years before I cross that hurdle!" Right? Wrong. Women in there 20's have hormonal fluctuations that affect their sex drive. Talk to your doctor and let your partner know whats going on. However, consider pleasing him in other ways and you never know-you just might relight that flame!

Routine
Get out of that routine. Doing the same thing, same positions, in the same bed can have you feeling like Groundhogs day. Make a pact to stay out of the bed and do it in as many places other than your room. Why not try on top of a random (clean) car in a parking garage!

Every couple has different factors that can alter or change altogether their sex life. My advice is if your husband is in need you must agree at least every now and again. But not just the "let me lay here like a log and just get hunched." No, if you have to fake it til you make it then, become an actress. Trust me, you can't help but get turned on by being selfless and making your man feel important. Ladies a healthy man needs sex from his woman. It makes him feel a certain way that can't be comprehended by women. However, I do say to men, understand your lady and help her get through this phrase in her life because once its over you may have to beat her off with a bat. :)

Upset Sunday

First, let me start off by saying the Titans, Cowboys, and Vikings all have something in common, they aren't birds! Yeah, I said it. The Falcons and Eagles managed to pull off something these teams didn't- a win! However, another thing the latter have in common is Mike Vick, a former quarterback for the Atlanta falcons,  who lead the Philadelphia Eagles soaring victory over the Detroit Lions. Is it only I that finds the irony in a caged talent being released from his cage only to get signed by a team with an eagle as the mascot?

As a Titans fan, I find it rather upsetting to continue to put my faith in Vince Young. I find myself getting extremely excited every time they put Kerry Collins ancient posterior in the game and lord knows how much longer he has in the league! However, one thing I can say Im proud of is his (Vince Young) maturity this season. Yes, he got benched but he got benched with dignity instead of the over the top theatrics and fake injuries he pulled in previous seasons. If he continues this and continues his progress in making his passing game a bit more accurate, I can understand the undying faith Nashville has in him because the boy can deliver on those nail biting 2 yards til a touchdown running plays.

Cowboy fans please forgive me because I've recently jumped on the bandwagon. But not for obvious reasons like I believe in their talent, their coaching staff, or even the fact that Kim Kardashian dates one of the players. I jumped on that bandwagon and rode it with pride because I possess two X chromosomes and I thought it would be absolutely adorable for them to win the the Super Bowl in Dallas. However, like most of you untrue fans, my excitement and confidence is surely fading like most of the hype that was developed around this team. One can quickly place blame on one or two players as I have found myself doing last week but something is telling me if they don't shape up quick Dallas head coach will be in the unemployment line or fishing for some university to pick him up next season.

And all you Vikings fans, I know it may be a little premature to make rash statements but why did the football team beg for grandpa Farve to come back? Just think about that for a second.

Nonetheless, with all that being said, week three will be redemption week for these teams. There will be 14 more games to go. Lets see who shoves that pigskin right down my throat!
