Worst Football Play of All Time

Bare with me but this video show highlights of an amazing high school football game that ends on maybe the biggest mistake ever.

Fantasy Football / Denver Broncos

I think people play fantasy football for various reasons but it is a clear one for me. It is easily for the camaraderie of it. Honestly, once the actual season starts, I am not that into the whole thing. I mean I keep my roster up and look for trades or players to pick up. However, the best part of fantasy football is the draft. I am in two leagues and I will stay in those leagues for sure.

The first league I have been in for 14 years. The draft is always the Sunday of labor day weekend at my brother's house. People travel from all over such as California, North Carolina, and Oklahoma. These are guys I literally see once a year. We eat too much, drink too much and have a great time doing it. It is always one of my favorite days of the year.

The second league I am in started a couple years ago and is mainly friends from college. Now, we do not get together in a single location but it is a giant conference call that last for hours. This year a few of us that are in Chicago got together at my house. We did the draft from my rooftop with some beer and pizza. It was a great time and hopefully we will do it again next year.

I would never be in a fantasy football league whose draft is done by the computer. The best part of fantasy football is the draft!

Now, let us move on to the 3-0 Denver Broncos. They have a really tough schedule but opened with an easy few games (although Cinci is looking like a really good team). Denver needed to go 3-0 and they did. They needed to dominate bad teams and they have. I mean they have done everything that has been asked of them. Their defense is looking so much better this year. Their next 5 games are ridiculous but even if they can go 2-3 I would be happy. I also love Moreno. He is a good young running back! As much turmoil as the Broncos has in the off season, I am happy the season is here. I also LOVED that Shannon Sharpe parachuted into the first home game this year. Of course, he is not in the hall of fame because Broncos are not allowed but that did not stop Pat Bowen from retiring his number for the Broncos. It is much deserved! You can consider me cautiously optimistic. I mean if the Broncos can sweep the Raiders and the Chiefs, that would put them at 6 wins. Even if the go 2-8 the rest of the games, that is an 8-8 record. Who would have guessed them not to have a losing record at the beginning of the year? Not me!

Happy Monday!

NFL

The NFL this year has been very bizarre. Home field advantage has not meant anything this year. I can not believe that in the playoffs ONLY one home team won last weekend. I went 0-4 in my predictions last week. No one and I mean no one had Arizona winning that game against Carolina. Tennessee shot themselves in the foot. Yikes.

Well, I hope the Steelers win it all. I think they have a good chance. I think it will be Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in the superbowl but given my track record for predicting games, get ready for Baltimore/Arizona superbowl.

Yikes...

Mustang Football!

On Saturday morning, I drove out to watch Fubar coach the Morton's freshmen B team. It was something I had wanted to do for the last couple years and it had finally worked out. The day ended up being absolutely perfect for football. Fubar's roommate Stacey showed up for the 2nd half.

This game was very exciting. Fubar said the spread was at 24 for the game with Morton as the huge underdogs. Well, they came out and scored first with the help of a great special teams return to go up 6-0. The tone was set from there. Morton ended up losing the game 14-12. Oak Park converted a two point conversation. That was the difference in the game. Morton did complete two passes of 40 yards or more and they blocked a punt with less than a minute to go into the game. Very excited to the very end. Below are a few pics from the morning.

Fubar coaching from the sidelines...umm, get off the field...you are not playing!

Mustangs in action....

Fubar talking after the game. He owes the kid who blocked the punt McDonalds.

Superbowl

Now that the superbowl is New England vs New York, I am torn on who to root for. Usually, since I am an AFC guy, I would root for the AFC team. However, the idea of everyone calling NE the greatest team ever and listening to them call Brady the greatest thing since sliced bread makes me sick to my stomach.

On the flip side, I hate NY fans. Lets be honest. I just dont like new york city. I never have and never will. They are the underdog though and I do not mind rooting for the underdog.

Well, I am going to put up a survey to see who people are rooting for in the superbowl.

Coach

Am I the only person that is confused by former head coaches are still called coach? Is there a school that graduated from to earn that title for life like a doctor?

Who does Mike Ditka coach? If no one, then why call him coach? Also, this seems to be a phenomenon only in American football.

If anyone can explain this to me, I would be forever grateful.
