Bleeping Idiots

The first Monday Night Football game of the season was tonight between the Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints.

The Saints struck first after a Drew Brees near-flawless drive, going 6-7 for 40 yards and a TD strike that was lofted over the Cardinals secondary. The Cardinals responded with a 63 yard drive for that was capped off with a 1 yard touchdown run by (impressive) running back Tim Hightower (scoring drive in video below). Matt Leinart, also looked very impressive during his limited time in the game 7-8 for 91 yards.

I am elated (SAT Word, kinda) that MNF has started, except for the fact somebody put it on Thursday, and have been waiting for football season for a longggg time. Enjoy my video of the Cardinals first scoring drive of the 08 pre-season with my new toy.

It’s Official, the “Never Ending Story” (name thanks to Mike & Mike in the Morning) is over. Brett Favre is officially a New York Jet. The 4 win Jets have officially moved on from Chad Pennington by the signing of legendary Favre, and the release of Chad Pennington(Note: Chad is already in contact with the Miami Dolphins). Brett Favre just made the Jets a competitive force in the NFL now, the addition of him forces 2 safety’s to drop back and will allow Thomas Jones to roam with some more freedom. Do not expect Brett to turn this team around 100%, but expect them to win games on his shoulders. His leadership will be priceless and the Packers will be hurting without him this year… I can’t wait to hear the boo’s on Rodger’s first interception.

This weekend I went out and bought myself a new toy, Slingbox Solo, so here are my first 2 video’s I have recorded with them. I am sorry they are bad quality, I have not figured out the recording aspect of it yet 100%. Hopefully I can provide you them in HD soon!

STEVE SMITH…congratulations.

Panthers stud Wide Receiver Steve Smith is now officially suspended for the first two games of the 2008-09 season for his involvement in an altercation that took place during training camp practice yesterday between Smith and corner back Ken Lucas. The fight took place during one of the rest periods of the practice, at this time both players had their helmets off, it was said that it is unclear what exactly started the outburst but the end result was Steve Smith punching teammate Lucas in the face. Lucas was carted off the field with a broken nose.

First off let me just say how mad this whole situation made me. Steve Smith is a grown man and a proffessional football player and under NO circumstances should you punch a teammate in the face! Especially with all the reporters that were there reporting on Panthers training camp. Seems a little bad for team chemistry if you ask me.

This is not a prestigious award any team would like to win, let alone even be considered for. But here is my debate for the Worst of the worst and why your team should win it.

Worst Teams in 2007 by Record:

Miami Dolphins (1-15)

St Louis Rams (3-13)

Atlanta Falcons (4-12)

Oakland Raiders (4-12)

Kansas City Chiefs (4-12)

Baltimore Ravens (5-11)

San Francisco 49ers (5-11)

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins are in what coaches are terrified to say, the “R” word… Rebuilding. The Dolphins last year offensively were ranked 27th in points, 28th in yards, 24th in passing, and 23rd in rushing. Defensively, 30th in points, 23rd in yards, 4th in pass yards, and 32nd in rush yards.

Top Players

• Channing Crowder
• Jason Allen (Should step up big this season)
• Joey Porter
• Ronnie Brown

Why They Will be the Worst

The Dolphins this year will be led by QB Josh McCown who last year threw for 10 td’s and 11 int’s with a QB rating of 69.4 over 9 games. Ouch. And if It is not McCown behind center, it will be young struggling QB John Beck. RB Ronnie Brown is coming off of a torn ACL, and we all know that is not an easy injury to recover from as a running back… If Brown is not healthy Ricky Williams will be carrying the rock who also was placed on IR with a torn chest muscle last season. Now for the starting receivers(Ernest Wilford + Ted Ginn), this is probably the easiest matchup of any receiver duo any team will see this season. On the Defensive side of the ball, they got rid of Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor(Great Move! *sarcasm*) and the secondary is undersized at best

Here are some of the Top NFL Super Athletes and reasons why… The NFL is filled with the best athlete’s in the world, so we did our best to choose the best of the best. Enjoy.

1.) Devin Hester - For many obvious reasons this Superstar Kick Returner is the best in the business. Hester isn’t the fastest man in the league, but Hester’s acceleration, vision, and cutting ability is what sets him apart from the rest of the league. Hester holds the record for Most touchdown returns in a season(6), Most Touchdown Kick and Punt returns in a season(6), Most touchdown returns as a rookie(6), Most touchdown returns in one game (2). Hester also held the Longest Play in NFL History that he shared with Nathan Vasher until Antonio Cromartie took it. Hester was recently rewarded with a fresh contract for $30 million with $15 million guaranteed. In Hester’s contract, he has incentives for $10 million roster bonus if he reaches the level of a #1 receiver.

First off let me apologize for the long wait between posts but I have been very busy lately, Now back to football, with training camp finally arriving, football season is officially in the air, but anyway here are my rankings for who i feel will be the top running backs of the 08-09 season. and of course I will add my “Stretch” pick which is the player i feel will come outta no-where and become a statistical monster.

1.) LaDainian Tomlinson- This one is pretty much as obvious as they come, for starters Tomlinson will continue his amazing career with another stellar season and I personally feel that he will hit the 1,800 yard mark this season and help lead the Chargers to a possible super bowl. Season Prediction 1800 yards 16 td’s

Former Raider and Jet – Lamont Jordan signed with the New England Patriots today. One day after release by the Raiders. After failed attempts to trade Lamont, the Raiders released him. Last year with the Raiders, Lamont had 796 yards from scrimmage off of 172 touches. Lamont has averaged 3.8 YPC in the past 3 seasons, but has not turned out to be the star the Raiders had hoped he would be. Lamont’s best season came in 2005 as he rushed for 1,025 yards while catching 70 balls for 563 yards.

6:00 AM Alarm goes off and time to get ready for the official beginning of football season; My trip to Lehigh Valley for Eagles Training Camp. The hour and a half ride there seemed effortless as we talked football the entire ride. We walked into find great seats at exactly 8:15 at the start of the day. We were on the offensive side of the field where Donovan, Westbrook, and Curtis were the whole day.

This Week on Bleeping Idiots we have a special treat for everyone as we sit down with Virginia Tech Hokies Redshirt Junior Running Back Jahre Cheeseman.

1. BleepingIdiots.com: First off tell us a bit about your injury, and the rehab process behind it. Do you feel you will be able to be back 100% and compete for the bulk of the carries this season?

• Jahre Cheeseman: I broke my left fibula during a scrimmage in the spring. I been doin a lot of balance and flexibility exercise along with lifting. The agility came later this summer but are also going well. I think I will be ready for the season but i expect that we will have a two-back system once again at VT. Kenny Lewis is now clear to go and we are workin together to compliment each other.
