follow up...

so....Miss California just got fired yesterday. Not even kidding. She "wasn't performing the duties of Miss California as deemed by the contract". She has been too busy going to anti-gay rallies. This is all very strange.

Get the F out!

The whole point of this blog was this...you know you were waiting for it too. Brett Farve. Get the F out!

Ever since he left the Packers in March 2008 he has been in the news constantly all summer long. He retired. Then he wanted to play again but the Packers didn't want him on the field so they offered him a marketing position. He refused and started to look to play else where. So now he is unretired. Then he is retired. Then he is absolutely insulted by how the Packers Owners and coaches are treating him. Then he can't find a job with the Jets. Then he considers taking the marketing job. Then Aaron Rogers is stated as the 100% starting quarterback. Then Farve is added to the 80 man roster. Then everyone agrees that's a bad idea. Then Farve joins the Jets and starts training camp. That's just one summer.

I don't even want to talk about summer 09. But last summer started a great drama and unfortunately it's just like a second season of The NewlyWeds with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, it's pointless and redundant and in the end it didn't work out.

Packer fans feel betrayed when Farve joined the Jets and even worse when this summer the media says "he's considering playing for Minnesota". Even we Viking fans who respectfully hate him, are disgusted with his alleged actions.

But what is most painful about this summer's reports of his secret meetings with coaches, friends, agents, doctors, and anyone/everyone, is none of these meetings have been officially commented on by any of those people involved. Farve hasn't said anything this summer besides he's leaving the Jets via "retirement" again. Week in and week out, if one news channel whispered a secret meeting or contract....then all of them were reporting it by day's end. It wouldn't be so bad, but not a single story was backed up with proof or comments from anyone directly involved. Even his injured bicep was a waffle story... if it would affect his performance if he needed surgery or not...horrible. I just wish it would all stop!

Even just on Friday, Farve's agent made a statement that he is 100% retired. I hope it's true. For his sake.

The 51st state, VY!

It seems no matter what happens, some guys just will never learn.

Vince Young, a rising star in the NFL has got an attitude to match his skills. Unfortunately we haven't seen much of his skills as of lately do to his injury and legal issues. He was thought to be the next Great One, but was not given the same opportunities like he was in college. What I mean was Young is being told to sit back in the pocket and throw it to NFL receivers when he used to dominate as he ran and dodged, dipped, dived, ducked and dodged around the defenders of college years. Of course he doesn't have a highlight film, he's not in his game. What Young is dreaming of is for Coach to hand over the reins of the offense to him and let him run the ball like he wants is. But that's not going to happen because QBs come and go. Especially cocky ones.

Unfortunately that is what is flooding the news rooms now. Young is being quoted as "shutting up and just smiling" and "not getting into the hoopla because he's not starting games and not winning games". What he supposedly wants is to be traded to a team where he can start and be the team go to guy in pressure situations. So anybody looking for a fresh-from-jail-cocky-can't-prove-that-he's-worth-his-contract-secondstring-quarterback? Those aren't in a hot commonity right now are they? But then again the Vikings have been looking at some scary alternatives...

To be fair, he has been getting some positive comments about his offseason training and performances. Yet many other comments about his mental preparation and education of reading the defenses pop up too to condemn him to a "could have been" status player. I really think what needs to happen now is for the media to shut up and let him finish the offseason before they report anything that we as common folks can actually see for ourselves. I don't care what he's doing in training camp as long as he's not placing bets. Let's see if Kerry Collins starts in the fall or if he gets hurt. That would be news. A second string player's emotional battles for approval are on every single team, professional and amatuer right down to elementary recess games. Young's comments about wanting to play as the starting quarterback are expected. He's a winner, and winner's want the ball. So please, let's give Vince Young a rest until something actually happens in his career to talk about!
