Booty Slap Time! NFL Hall of Shame

Wednesday June 19, 2013

Chad Johnson

If you're an NFL fan, you've seen the booty slap countless times. It's an NFL fixture.

It usually happens on the sidelines, though. Chad Johnson took it a step further recently when he introduced it into the area of legal jurisprudence.

Specifically, the courtroom.

Not so appropriate.

Still, Johnson is only one of many criminals in the NFL, past and present, and a minor one at that.

Maybe it's the inherent violence in the game, but the league churns out more criminals than other pro sports.

Here are my Top Ten NFL criminals of all time. No booty slaps for these thugs.

How Will Tim Tebow Respond to Being a Backup?

Friday June 14, 2013

Tim Tebow

What kind of backup quarterback will Tim Tebow be with the New England Patriots, assuming he even makes the team?

Will he hunker down and work? Will he use the time to work on his flaws and improve his strengths?

Will he learn from Tom Brady? Will be he a positive presence in the quarterback room?

Or will he be a disruptive force, like so many of his detractors seem to believe?

There have been pretty much every kind of backup quarterback in NFL history: the good, bad and ugly. Here are 10 of them that the newest Patriot could learn from.

Hallelujah! Tim Tebow NFL Pilgrimage Leads to New England

Tuesday June 11, 2013

Tim Tebow

I don't want to promote myself as an all-seeing, omnipotent NFL genius or anything, but I knew this was going to happen.

Tim Tebow is too good an athlete to be completely ignored by the NFL, and so in an amazingly short period of time, Tebow has gone from an unwanted free agent, cast aside by the New York Jets, to a New England Patriot.

Granted, Tebow probably didn't have many other offers, if any. That's evident from his two-year, no guarantee contract.

But, at least we should all find out finally whether this polarizing figure can play in the NFL or not.

The good news for Tebow fans is if he makes the team, he will be in the perfect environment to work on that hitch in his throwing motion and to learn from some of the best offensive talent and brains in the league.

For his detractors, well there is no good news other than the fact they will still have Tebow to kick around at least for a time. More on that here.

The Queen of England A Bloody Jaguars Fan? Yes!

Queen of England

The NFL should rip the Jaguars out of Jacksonville and drop them in London, and the sooner the better, I say.

If the NFL wants to reach a global audience as it says it does, London is a great start. The only better choice would be Sydney, Australia, because the Australians are even more like us than the British, but Sydney is too bloomin' far.

And the Jaguars are the team that must go. Actually, though it has not been officially announced, I'm fairly certain it's a done deal concerning the Jaguars. That's why they've committed to "home games" in London for the next four years.

Sorry, Jag fans, but it just makes sense. Read my story here for a comparison of the two cities.

You Jags fans can sound off if you want.
