Buccaneers Cut More QB's Than Spleens!

The Chris Simms era in Tampa is over! After one legendary QB changes jerseys this preseason, another will be added to the list.

Alright, I hope no one actually believed that. My question is not "why?" but "what took so long?". Even before missing two seasons, Simms seemed too be throwing interceptions all the time. Although he did throw more touchdowns than interceptions in 2005 when he played in 11 games, all of my memory's are of his INT's.

It is a sad day for Jon Gruden, however. Think of your prized collection. Then think of the 5th best item in the collection. Then think of giving it away. The QB collector has lost one, but don't forget about Jake Plummer.

No More Morelli!

Well that was fun. I knew Penn State's game against Coastal Carolina would be pretty easy (minus the chance of a App State like upset), but this was a fantastic start to what all Penn State fans are hoping to be a great year.

Keep in mind that this is Coastal Carolina and not Ohio State. But the QB's were solid with Clark going 11-14, 146 yds 1 td, and Devlin 5-8 83 yds. Paul Cianciolo even got in the action passing for 31 yards.

The Running game is what I most excited about this year, and I got a little taste of what could happen. Starter Evan Royster did the most with his 8 carries, ending up in the endzone 3 times. The most excitement was reserved for freshman Stephfon Green who had 89 yards and 2 touchdowns.

So, things are looking really good (for now) and will most likely continue for the next three weeks. Then conference games will start, and the true status of this team will show. Keep your fingers crossed!

Tim Tebow? Really!?!?

So you want to portray Tim Tebow as a throw-back type player. Why not have him stand next to a statue, or even make it a black and white picture, but this? It just makes me want to burst out in uncontrollable laughter.

Gilligan to Favre: "I Know How You Feel"

Since the beginning of time (1988) there has been Madden Football. A little bit after the dawn of man, (2001) EA Sports decided to change around the Garden of Eden, switching the white-haired, jolly "Adam", for the gladiators themselves.

The rest is history (along with my horrible analogy). Since Eddie Gorge has graced the cover, there have been interceptions, injury's, retirements, dog-fighting, and several other curse-like things. But then retired Brett Favre was selected, and then promptly unretired, then traded to the Jets, not in time for the covers to be changed to reflect the trade. Hence, according to the curse rulebook makes the curse null and void, since the uniform has changed.

Think about it, in the third season of Gilligan's Island the episode "Voodoo", Gilligan was under a curse because the voodoo doll was dressed just like himself. If he had simply ditched the silly hat, the curse would expire.

There it is. The logical end to the Madden Curse. But then again, there is that one episode of the Brady Bunch...
