Brett Favre Teaches Us To Keep Believing

Brett Favre has done a wonderful thing for America. He epitomizes success, comebacks and working through adversity when no one believes in you anymore. I love this story of triumph because Brett proved that you can defy age or any negative thing that humans put on you.

People always typically can only see what is in front of them. Most humans can never see what’s inside your heart. Favre proves that with true heart you can do anything and achieve anything within reason. You just have to know your own limits, your own capabilities, your own strengths, and most importantly, your own weaknesses. This is what we should all learn from Brett Favre in this victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, he can still play. Yes, he could do it again. No, he doesn’t live up to any one else’s limits placed upon him. Neither do I. Neither should you.

Chiefs Running Back Larry Johnson Suspended for Tweets

Proving that social media networks can get you fired if you don’t watch what you say, the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs running back, Larry Johnson, has been suspended by the team for tweeting gay slurs and negative comments about his coaching staff. For some strange reason that I cannot understand, people mistakenly believe that [...]

Proving that social media networks can get you fired if you don’t watch what you say, the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs running back, Larry Johnson, has been suspended by the team for tweeting gay slurs and negative comments about his coaching staff. For some strange reason that I cannot understand, people mistakenly believe that Twitter is somehow a closed network and that they are sharing information privately between friends. Epic fail.

What’s the lesson? Stop sharing stuff that would make your employers embarrassed, angry, and get you a one way ticket to the unemployment line. Twitter and Facebook are NOT private networks and you are speaking in a public place. Please start believing it.

NFL Football Business

The best coaches and quarterbacks know that you never look at a football field as 100 yards. Football is about incremental progress and steps. Teams that will succeed in 2009-2010 take the field and look at it in 4 yard increments. Success comes in gaining 4 yards consistently play after play, down [...]

The best coaches and quarterbacks know that you never look at a football field as 100 yards. Football is about incremental progress and steps. Teams that will succeed in 2009-2010 take the field and look at it in 4 yard increments. Success comes in gaining 4 yards consistently play after play, down after down. Take this same mentality with you to the business field today to gain success. Happy Football Sunday!

In today’s game against Texas, Oklahoma University Sooner Quarterback, Sam Bradford, injured his throwing shoulder once again. He will have it checked out to determine the extent of the injury and if it hinders his play next week. I hope he’s healthy.

The Denver Broncos Worst ThrowBack Uniform of All Time

Denver Broncos Worst throwback jersey of all time.

This has got to be the worst throwback uniform of all time. I guarantee that no one at all will be rushing out to buy these throwbacks. After all, the only real reason the NFL dons the throwbacks is to increase sales due to trending of the throwback jersey. This one will never make it.

The JaMarcus Russell Strategy Guide

How JaMarcus Russell Can Improve

After watching JaMarcus Russell continually struggle, I had to throw my hat into the ring as a former quarterback and quarterback coach for Elite High School quarterbacks for Nike Sparq. When JaMarcus came into the league two years ago, he was highly touted because of his arm strength and his size. 6′6 big dude, cannon arm. He could sit down and throw the ball 50 yards.

JaMarcus Russell Guide to Improve

JaMarcus Russell Guide to Improve

This perceived strength is the problem. Tom Cable and the Offensive Coordinator believes that the passing game is a vertical passing game due to JaMarcus’ arm strength and this is the problem. He is not ready for the vertical passing game even though his arm is strong. Immediately, the offensive strategy needs to be changed to a West Coast offensive style horizontal passing game.

JaMarcus Russell needs to throw the ball to the sidelines into the flats. They need to take incremental steps and utilize short slants, curls, hooks, and flat routes. He needs to build his confidence up by working short passing patterns and not long passes. I even feel as though he has lost the confidence of the team and you can tell by their play and performance.

The Oakland Raiders need to change immediately and change the offense to cater to JaMarcus’ real strength. It first appeared as though his strength was size and arm strength. This is not his true football strength. It’s painfully obvious.

Atlanta Gets Black College Football Hall of Fame

Black College Football Hall of Fame comes to Atlanta, GA

Former Washington Redskins Super Bowl winner and black quarterback Doug Williams announces that Atlanta will be the home of the Black College Football Hall of Fame. For those too young to know, Doug Williams is a quarterback who graduated from Grambling State University and played quarterback in the National Football League and won a Super Bowl with the Washington Redskins.

Doug Williams is now the head coach at Grambling State and obviously has a real passion for HBCU’s (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). The first enshrinement of the inductees will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel on February 20, 2010 to coincide with Black History Month.

Every football player who played at a black college and university will be a future candidate for the Hall of Fame. Obviously, like any Hall of Fame, the athlete will have had to put up huge numbers and be an outstanding football player or coach.

The UFL Attempts to Compete with The NFL

The United Football League launches.

We’ve seen it time and time again. Another league has sprouted up to compete with the National Football League. I was flipping through channels last night looking for SportsCenter and came across a team wearing lime green jerseys. I had no idea what it was and who it was. I knew that the Arena Football League had completely cancelled it’s season so I was confused. I saw referees in red shirts and black slacks which caught my eye more than the lime green uniforms that the players on one team had on.

“What is this”, I thought to myself. Someone is actually going to try it again. I was shocked when the Arena Football League closed it’s doors. It had true celebrity owners including Ron Jaworski and Jon Bon Jovi owners. It seemed to be able to stay afloat. Back in the day, Vince McMahon also jumped in and competed against the NFL by launching the XFL to be similar to his World Wrestling Entertainment enterprises. It failed after one season. The United Football League was born and is ready to compete with the NFL.

The UFL has a nice logo and about 4-5 member teams at this point. However, instead of going one on one with the undisputed heavyweight champion NFL on Sundays, the UFL will play games on Thursdays and Friday nights on the cable channel Versus.
