NFL Football Week 13: Ricky Williams Has Short Lived Comeback and Sean Taylor Dies in Tragedy
November 29, 2007
Well the run has already ended for Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams, at least until next season. No, not for smoking dope again, but for somehow getting injured on the whole 6 carries he got against the Pittsburgh Steelers this past Monday. Williams tore a chest muscle in one of those carries and will be out the at least a month and a half, well if you have been watching the Dolphins this season (0-11 record), you know that will be well into the off season for them, so no more Ricky this year, just one blow after the other for the lowly Miami Dolphins.
NFL Football Week 12: Mother Nature Ruled Monday Night in Pittsburgh
November 27, 2007
At first glance you would think, there was no way the Miami Dolphins had a chance against the Pittsburgh Steelers even with Ricky Williams back in the mix, no way, but little any of us know how unbelievably bad the weather conditions were going to be in Pittsburgh on Monday night.
This game was a complete shutout all game, well almost all game. Not until there were 17 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter did Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Jeff Reed put the pigskin through the uprights. 17 seconds! That is unbelievable considering that the Steelers have one of the best offenses in the league lead by Big Ben and Willie Parker.
NFL Football Week 12: Weekend Wrap Up and Monday Night Football Preview
November 26, 2007
As predicted, this week showcased some pretty competitive games and really close calls for some teams that were just a little too confident.
I have to start with the New England Patriots against the Philadelphia Eagles; even though it was the last game on Sunday it was a big surprise that it was that close of a contest.
When it was announced that Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb wasn’t going to play and backup AJ Feely was going to be the starter, I was getting ready to see an absolute massacre, similar to what the Patriots did to the Washington Redskins a few weeks ago and the Buffalo Bills last week, but that was as far from the truth as can be! The Patriots did score on an interception by Ansante Samuel (best corner in football right now) on the Eagles first possession, but after that, the teams might as well have been mirror images of each other, if you can believe that!
Ricky Williams is Back, Again!
November 15, 2007
On November 14, 2007, running back Ricky Williams was officially reinstated and able to play in the NFL once again for the Miami Dolphins after an 18 month suspension for abusing the NFL’s drug abuse policy testing positive for Marijuana yet again (this guy just don’t learn).
There is no question that Ricky Williams is one the most talent running back ever to play in the NFL with great speed and unbelievable strength out of the backfield, but after repeatedly failing drug tests and obviously refusing to quit smoking the ganja, one has got to think this guy is going to do it again and again until he is banned for life.
God knows that the Miami Dolphins could use a running back like Williams right now as they are without a doubt the worst team in the NFL with putrid 0-8 record and an injured Ronnie Brown, but is it worth all the hassle of testing this junkie all the time and constantly worrying that he is stoned underneath that visor and helmet.
The answer is YES! If the Dolphins don’t take advantage of having pot head Williams in their offense then they better get prepared to be winless and dubbed one of the worst teams all-time. Ricky may be a pain in butt and always a concern, but you can always count on him to put points on the board and get you Ws in the win column.
Personally, I like Ricky Williams, no ego, no showboating, just a good running back who can put up 100 yards and a couple touchdowns on any given Sunday, but if we have learn anything from history, then we know that it is bound to repeat itself.

NFL Football Week 7: Football Matchups to Watch
October 21, 2007
This week in the NFL will show case a few interesting match ups and possibly a few shockers as well. First you have the New England Patriots taking on the Miami Dolphins. Easy win right? Wrong, the Patriots always seem to have trouble with the Dolphins regardless of their record, so look for a possible big time upset here. It is a long shot, but the way the football is right now, anything is possible.
Then you have the Tennessee Titans against the Houston Texans, the Titans will most likely be the favorite coming into this game, but with Vince Young banged up, Matt Schaub and company might be able to take advantage and steal a win against the Titans.
The Arizona Cardinals against the Washington Redskins should be a good match up too, the Redskins will try and get back on track after losing a close one against Green Bay last week and the Cardinals fate will be determined on whether or not Kurt Warner will be able to play.
After the Bucs made the trade to get running back Michael Bennett to cure their backfield problem,
NFL Football Week 6: Tom Brady Ruled the Day and the Dallas Secondary
October 15, 2007
The highly anticipated battle of the NFC and AFC’s best did not fail to disappoint, but it was clear in the end who was and is the better team and quite possibly the better quarterback too.
Tom Brady absolutely torched the Dallas Cowboys’ defense on Sunday, throwing for 5 touchdown passes and 388 yards in the air, connecting with his very talented receiving core lead by Randy Moss. This time around though, Moss was not the top dog in the trio as Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker (Welker had two TDs) both caught a touchdown passes and had over 100 yards receiving. Moss wasn’t non existent though catching 6 passes for 59 yards a touchdown pass from Brady also.
The Patriots won this battle for the NFL’s top dog (with the exception of the Colts) 48-24, next stop for the one of the only two undefeated teams left is against the division rival Miami Dolphins (God knows how many TDs Brady will have in that one). Read more
