| Sanchez and Tebow Celebrate a TD |
Many thanks to Peyton Manning for throwing to Decker, the Patriots defense and Billy Cundiff kicking the ball clear out of Fedex field. The Tim Tebow Soap Opera had two of my opponents benching Sanchez and Romo's Cowboys took down the Giants to blow the lid off my competition's rosters. Now I get middle of the pack waiver rights and hope pick up a few mid season sleepers without having to duke out a trade. In one league I am sitting on Flacco and Vick for no other purpose than trade leverage down the line.
Officiating: The replacement officials seemed to do pretty well with only a few iffy calls that were caught by Booth Reviews.
NFL League Notes: New Orleans Linebacker Vilma, who fought suspension in court, got reinstated only to blow his knee. Out for six weeks minimum on the PUP list. Well played Dork....
TV Coverage: I live in a Time-Warner Cable franchise city so no NFL Network, Redzone or GamePass for me. Dish and Direct systems are not allowed in my condo complex sooo..... There are two options.
Pay $250 for the Direct GamePass for computer/tablet/smartphone access.
ESPN and NFL Fantasy Football Centers, Smartphone apps and my DVR. FREE!!!!!! The only thing missing is NFL Redzone but the Fantasy Centers pop up big plays involving my weekly picks. Sweet....
Tim Tebow Notes: Ryan, Sanchez and Tebow may have pulled one of the biggest cons in the history of sports this pre-season making the Jets Offense look ineffectual in practice and meaningless games. However, they opened against the Bills, which are almost an auto-Win, blowing their secret and succeeding in pissing off half the Fantasy Football world. Other than that Tebow-mania managed to play some decent football.
Closing thoughts, there are several other great "Iron Man" Utility players in the NFL trapped in the QB position. Why not allow us to start them as a "Utility Player"?
