Teddy Bridgewater Game Management INC and UL Crushes Rutgers

It took a fake field goal trick play to score Rutgers only touchdown and any other program not trying to make a case for a BCS title would be happy with the Offense. 25  NFL scouts, to include the GM of the Jacksonville Jaguars, watched as Teddy Bridgewater tossed up decent fantasy football numbers. More impressive was the balanced UL offense 32 runs and 31passes and clock eating drives managed by Teddy. Despite an interception, not his fault, and a fumble caused by a blindside sack Teddy Bridgewater went 21 for 31 with two touchdowns. What the scouts had to have been impressed by was the fact that after a hit that would have rattled the best QBs in the NFL Bridgewater jumped up, checked for the next play, got in the huddle, said something to his blindside tackle then moved on to win the game. That displayed Grit, Leadership and Maturity that few people in his age group will ever develop. Teddy Bridgewater is one of the best traditional pocket QBs in the last few years. Lets hope his talent is not wasted on a crap hole team like the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The analysts and sports writers that talk down Louisville despite the numbers and BCS rules are the same folks that ruined Tim Tebow's shot at a legitimate NFL career. Don't pay attention to the men behind the curtain. Remember these folks are not actively participating in Collegiate or Professional Football even as a Water Boy. They are getting paid to write, generate links and get viewers angry.

NOTE: The Jacksonville Jaguars have collapsed and are in the midst of a cultural crisis. Why is NFL Commissioner Roger Goddell allowing the GM to visit college programs, host major parties in Louisville while putting an obviously inferior product on the field? Does not the NFL have a duty to the fans to place a legitimate and competitive team on the field each and every Sunday? I am tired of watching otherwise competitive teams openly throw games in order to draft the Heisman Trophy winner. I hope the NY Giants go winless so they can draft Teddy instead……….

Mark Coomes: Three reasons why critics are wrong about U of L 'win' over Rutgers | Insider Louisville:

"When the final horn sounded, I was as frustrated and disappointed as the next guy. But after further review, what happened last night was that, for the first time this season, the Cardinals proved themselves to be a legitimate top 10 team.

The polls might say otherwise on Sunday. The cognoscenti said otherwise before the game even ended."

History of American Football

A Shadow History of American Football | Cracked.com:

"a recent study found that as many as 100 percent of NFL players are men. Ladies, don't you like football? Here are some leagues that don't require a certain percentage of hair on the chest.

Canadian Football League -- Rules are generally the same, but there are only three downs and players apologize for tackling each other. Also, cross-checking is not allowed. In CFL play, a team may not have more than one moose in its defensive line unless the offense includes a bear.

Derpy football is the second-most entertaining football.

The XFL -- This is what happens when you make the CFL angry. Mister, you wouldn't like the CFL when it's angry. (I apologize for making two Hulk jokes in succession, but this is the world we live in now.)

Legends Football League -- To show more respect for its players, the LFL changed its name from the Lingerie Football League and removed all pink bows from the lingerie. Known for its exceptionally vicious play, it includes special rules, like an automatic first down after putting Nair in a player's helmet. There is also a same-side 5-yard penalty for talking about a teammate behind her back, although this is waived if you can't believe that bitch Jessica would do something like this to you; you thought she was your best friend.

Tiny-Mite Pop Warner League -- Known primarily for its running game, this team of 4- to 6-year-olds found itself utterly crushed in an All-Star exhibition game against the NFC East.

Wikipedia

Pop refused to look at them out of disgust (at both their performance and their crumpled little collarbones).

Fantasy Football -- Christ, this is depressing. It's Dungeons & Dragons minus a story and with even more stats. Unless you play this for money, consider doing something more productive with your time, like molesting dolphins. I know that will offend some readers, but I'm not worried, because I just rolled 20 to defend against Impotent Rage spells.

The LXF -- The League of Extraordinary Footballers is composed entirely of football players from fiction who band together to defeat Raiders, Buccaneers, and Bill Belichick. This true fantasy league re-emerges every 20 years or so to defy everyone who says they'll never make something of themselves. Star players include the Waterboy, The Replacements-edition Keanu Reeves, and the entire cast of Friday Night Lights, who may be doomed to heartbreak, but dammit, they're going to win this game."

2013 NFL training camp - New targets not slowing Tom Brady - ESPN

2013 NFL training camp - New targets not slowing Tom Brady - ESPN:

"FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- So much for feeling sorry for Tom Brady.

The offseason completely altered Brady's bunch of pass-catchers as camp opened minus his seven top targets from 2012. Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez, Deion Branch, Brandon Lloyd and Danny Woodhead were gone. Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman were injured.

The Patriots spent two days going against the Philadelphia Eagles' defense, and Brady dominated with a completely new cast of receiving characters.

That bodes well for the future. If Brady can succeed with a younger group of receivers and then get Gronkowski back, watch out.

Here are the five things I noticed at Patriots training camp."

NFL Fantasy Report, Week #2: The IF Lists

Hernandez is Out, Welker is BACK BABY!!!!

We can only refer to this week as "The IFS". Since all I heard all weekend was "If only I knew" or "Were is so and so...?"
Fantasy Football League's finished 1-2.
Semi-Serious and casual fantasy football owners are all in shock as the five year string of dominance by the top ten performers at each position came to an early conclusion. In performance drops that usually begin to happen around the time teams are mathematically eliminated from the play offs and contract bonus money is in the bank left all but the most serious fantasy footballers dazed and confused. All the experts said pick this guy or drop that Defense but nobody could predict this last weekend.
My TOP "IF" Lists of the week:
In a week that saw Peyton Manning Intercepted three times in the first quarter, little brother Eli set game scoring records in just the fourth quarter, New England losing to the Arizona Cardinals and RG3 putting out 36 fantasy points while losing there plenty of "IFS".
If you benched Andrew Luck (like I did) that was a major screw up.
If Adrian Peterson was your feature back.
If Hernandez had not gotten injured......
If Mr G made his fifth 40 yard field goal of the game to win it in Foxboro.
If the college trained Replacement Referees could come to an agreement on "Pass Interference", "Game Administration" and "Forward Progress".
If the Packers offense could get back into gear. (Yes, I know they won but it was ugly).
Head Coach Notes:
If the Harbaugh brothers don't start getting some respect.......
If the New Orleans had a Head Coach.......
If Tampa Bay's Head Coach wasn't a giant douche bag then Tom Coughlin would not be pissed.
If Kansas City would just perform to potential.
If Rex Ryan would just go ahead and swap Tebow for Sanchez. He knows he is going to do it and Mark looked like his old, flat, unmotivated self while losing a yawner.
Quarterback Notes:
If Josh Wheedon played that well every game.
If Jay Cutler wants to get his team to hate him don't change a thing about what you do, say or hit.
If RGIII would let someone else run the ball.
If Cam Newton would let someone else run the ball.
If Mike Vick would let someone else run the ball.
NOTE: Guys this is not high school AAAA football. It is OK to hand it off once in awhile. Those guys get payed a whole lot of money to run the ball and the have to feed their families on their performance bonuses. Trust them or you might start getting blindsided by that blitzing linebacker he was supposed to pick up.
NFL League Notes:
If New Orleans Saint Line Backer Vilma would just quit the "Poor Me" circus.
If you don't think the Ref Lock Out is not impacting the pacing and flow of games ask Flacco, Ryan or Cutler.
If the commissioner wants the NFL to grow then give LA, Mexico City, Toronto and London franchises no matter the cost.

All fantasy football team owners should start checking the injury reports, analyze their match ups and check their Waiver wire positions before clicking SUBMIT.

Any comments on this week's rant?

Trick Shot Quarterback now a Buffalo Bill

Monmouth University quarterback Alex Tanney can hit the either side of a goalpost from 50 yards away throwing from his knees and complete to a receiver in the bed of a truck speeding away. Undrafted Tanney will stand behind two seventh round QBs but work for the best development coach in the NFL.
Is he ready to back up the Bills Harvard grad phenom Ryan Fitzpatrick?
Can you see Tanney as a special teams option popping 2 point conversions to tight ends?
First Tim Tebow now Alex Tanney, the NFL has gone gimmick crazy, but these guys are straight up winners.
