Last night's Jets-Dolphin game was great, from start to finish. It reminded me so much of the 2000 game Monday Night Game, in which the Jets came back to beat the Dolphins in OT. While the game didn't play out the same way, it was great nonetheless. From Braylon Edwards making a spectacular debut to QB Chad Henne helping his team win the game, 31-27, with 6 seconds left.



The Monday Night Football crew was in love Jets QB Mark Sanchez. So much, to the fact that they pretty much ignored Henne and his heroics. Let's take a look at the two QB's numbers from last night:

Sanchez: 12/24 172 yards 1 TD 0 INT 87.5 QB rating

Henne: 20/26 241 yards 2 TDs 0 INTs 130.4 QB rating

It wasn't until the end of the night that Henne was shown some love. I know that New York teams are on a roll right now (Giants are 5-0 and the Yankees are in the ALCS), but ESPN and other media outlets need to do a better job at showing love to those that deserve it. Not saying Sanchez didn't, because he played well. But last night, Henne was better


-Even though my Ravens lost, I can't be mad at the fact that the Bengals played well, especially their defense. With the passing of Mike Zimmer's wife, I really felt the team played extra hard for him.

I've always had a soft spot for the Bengals, mainly because of Marvin Lewis and Chad Ocho Cinco. Congrats on sole place of the AFC North........ for now

*extra point* I found this on KSK... and I can't stop watching it. Regardless of your opinion on the hit, how can you NOT love football?! This made my adrenaline rise to the max!


-The Colts, Giants and Vikings scare me

-The Bucs, Raiders and Rams do not

-The Redskins play yet another winless team this Sunday, when they play the Kansas City Chiefs. Since they've been so nice to give Detroit and Carolina their first win, will Redskins be so nice against a Chiefs team that actually puts up a fight???? We'll find out Sunday.

-I think I'm ready to start giving Denver the props they deserve. No one should go 5-0 without getting respect, especially with the hectic offseason the Broncos had. Josh McDaniel was so fired up at the end of his game, he had ME fired up and I'm not a Broncos fan. Congrats Denver!


-I'm not a big Vince Young fan... quite frankly I always though he was slightly overrated. But I think it's time for his 2nd chance. The Titans stink and Kerry Collins is starting to look his age

-Did anyone see Brandon Marshall on Football Night in America???? If there was ever a "Bama Of The Week" candidate, he is definitely it!

-Damn Buffalo.... you lost to the lowly Browns in an awful 6-3 defeat. Not even T.O. can help you with this madness. Looks like paper bag time has officially made it's way to Buffalo

Being a B-More girl, I try to always support my own. And with Maybin using his foundation to help uplift children to help them excel, that's one more incentive to pass on the good fortune. If you are in the Baltimore area this weekend, check this party out. And don't forget to wear your white. :)




Welcome to the NFL, Maybin. Make MD proud in Buffalo!

The big NFL news over the weekend was none other than- Terrell Owens AKA T.O......AGAIN! On Saturday, Owens signed a 1 year contract with the Buffalo Bills, for $6.5 million.

Buffalo? Really?! Bills fans better get their popcorn ready, add salt and butter to taste.


This signing was one that I did not see coming, and I'm sure most would agree. Not that Owens was signed so fast, but the Bills was probably one of the last teams I expected him to sign to. That being said, based on the fact that it's a one year deal, this may not be a bad fit for either team.

I said "oh no" in my title of the blog, but that doesn't have to mean a bad thing. T.O. has a tendency to bring out the good, the bad and the ugly of each team. It all depends how much of the bad and ugly a team wants to deal with, in order to get the good.

So does this relationship work??? Let's review the good, the bad and the ugly of this recent signing.

The Good- T.O. is an extremely hard worker when it comes to football. His presence automatically makes his team better, because defenders have to game plan for him. In Buffalo, they also have a pretty good WR in Lee Evans. This makes Buffalo already a better team than last year, because they have a massive weapon of destruction....on the field that is.

The Bills are in a division that is up-and-coming to be a competitive one for some time. The Jets just hired for Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan as head coach and in the process, by stacking up their defense. The Dolphins did a complete 180, going from a 1-15 team in 2007 to a playoff contender in 2008. And the Pats..... are the Pats. They will be in the hunt every year, as long as Belichick is the coach. So where did that leave the Bills??? They started off HOT last year, going 5-1 before collapsing and finishing 7-9 and last in the AFC East.

The signing also would bring in more money by adding more fans in the stands, especially when the team plays in Toronto this upcoming season. Fans want to see the controversial player, whether they love him or hate him

I can see how this works out for all parties involved. The one year deal means T.O. will be on his best behavior.





The Bad- The last time I checked, the Bills had Trent Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB. Neither are top tier at their position. Edwards wasn't the same once he suffered a concussion during last season. And Fitzpatrick did an okay job replacing Carson Palmer in Cincy, but he's a QB that runs under pressure. (sidenote: JP Losman is no longer with the Bills. He was on Kyle Boller status to me anyway. Waste of a 1st round pick). That brews trouble in T.O.'s World.

You see, T.O. loves the ball, like most WRs do. If Edwards and Fitzpatrick continue to struggle, expect T.O. to have B.O.


Excuse me, wrong saying... I mean, expect T.O. to be PO'd... as in, pissed off. We all have seen this before. Edwards is still a young QB, and having someone constantly in your ear asking for the ball could lead to bad things. Throwing balls in double and triple coverage, making poor decisions on the field, just to name a couple. This could possibly have a negative affect on the 3rd year QB's growth. Hopefully, Edwards won't have this issue. But if he does..... it'll be a long season

The Ugly- Man, where do I begin???? In San Francisco, he basically called QB Jeff Garcia gay.


In Philly, he turned on QB Donovan McNabb and got into a physical altercation with former Eagle Hugh Douglas.


In Dallas he disregarded Jason Garrett's game plan, accused Tony Romo of scheming plays behind his back, and almost got into a fight with TE Jason Witten, which eventually led to his departure



T.O. is clearly not a legal liability. But in the past, he has become a team liability. There are a good amount of folks that defend him. But his track record speaks for itself. Buffalo is his 4th team. His numbers say future hall-of-famer, but his team hopping says trouble maker. Most teams believes he cares about no one but himself and his numbers. Add that with the fact that, given his great ability to play WR he still hasn't won a Super Bowl, GMs tend to pass him over.


T.O. is 35 years old, he can still play at a high level. Although he was ranked in the Top 5 for dropped passes, he also averaged 10 TD's in each of his 3 seasons with Dallas. He has least 2 to 3 years left in the tank to play. It's quite possible that T.O. plays on yet another team next year, since he only received a 1 year deal with the Bills. So I expect him to get one more contract, possibly a 2 year deal, before he hangs up his cleats for good.

This may work out for everyone involved. T.O. gets to audition for real playoff contenders with this upcoming season, while the Bills could drastically get better on offense (they ranked 25th in overall offense last season). And in the meantime, they can make sweet, beautiful TD's together.

T.O. is a Bill, but he's still T.O.


Only time will tell............
