NFL Trade Deadline Looming  

The NFL Trade Deadline will fall on Tuesday, October 14th this year. While trades rarely happen at the NFL Trade Deadline, there are some players that would like to be in different situations and contenders that need to find that missing piece.

Let's take a look at a few deals that make sense (and some that don't), and check where Roy Williams will be stiffing delivery people next.

Roy Williams (Lions) for Seahawks 2nd and 3rd Round Draft Picks

Demarcus Ware (Cowboys) for Roy Williams (Lions)

Chad Johnson (Bengals) for Raiders 2nd Round Draft Pick

Lito Sheppard (Eagles) for Chad Johnson (Bengals)

Laurence Maroney (Patriots) for Lito Sheppard (Eagles)

Laurence Maroney (Patriots) for Cardinals 2nd Round Draft Pick

Add any trades you'd like to see below -- be they realistic or not.

Patriots Speed Package  

The Patriots unleashed the latest work of defensive guru Bill Belichick on Sunday. They employed the Speed Package, which the announcing geniuses never even mentioned during the game, to a fair amount of success, holding the 49ers to under 200 yards and 8 first downs-2 on penalties. The Patriots also picked off J.T. O'Sullivan three times. Read more...

National Geographic: Wide Receiver Species  

For seven months, the intense sun has beaten down on the turf and grass of these NFL fields, but in October the air fills with the promise of glory, riding on a cool breeze. As we gaze out upon the verdant field, we see many different species of the elusive NFL receiver. Ah yes, here come some now.

Charlie Weis a Cheater?  

What now? Laptopgate?

According to our friends at the World of Isaac, Charlie Weis is being accused of cheating by the Michigan State Spartans. A computer was confiscated by NCAA Officials from the Notre Dame coaching box during the first half of the Spartans win on Saturday.

Weis states that "an intern" must have brought it in to the box on accident. Unfortunately, Charlie Weis's ties to the Patriots won't be helping his case out much, or New England's for that matter. Say it ain't so...

The big question though is, what was on the computer that was so important?

* Different formations to lose yards from

* How to schedule service academies tutorial

* How to win without someone named Brady

* Directions to heal a busted-up knee

* Lots of recipes for halftime

* Brady Quinn "Photos"

* Death Star Plans

Anything else?

NFL QB Anagrams

After watching the classic Simpsons episode where Lisa comes up with "Jeremy's Iron" as an anagram for "Jeremy Irons", I decided to do some anagrams for some of the NFL's Quarterbacks. This is what we came up with.

1. Vincent Young -- Conveying Nut

This guy is a little out there...

2. Tony Romo -- Toy Moron

Jessica Simpson fits perfectly here.

3. Matt Cassel -- Calms State

Hopefully he can calm Patriot Nation again on Sunday.

4. Peyton Manning -- Yep, Not Manning

Not yet anyway, he looked lost Week 1.

5. Kyle Orton -- Loony Trek

Has someone that backed up Rex Grossman?! ever looked so good?

6. Aaron Rodgers -- Earns Roar, Dog

Looks like he'll be earning lost of roars from the Lambeau crowd.

7. Matt Ryan -- My Tantra

Atlanta is drooling over this kid

8. Matt Leinart -- It Arm Talent

Sure as heck isn't Brain Talent

9. Matt Hasselbeck -- Sets back Helmet

I wouldn't go out there with those receivers

10. Marc Bulger -- Calm Burger

He is like fresh meat behind the Rams line.

11. Brian Griese -- Ages Brinier

Jeff Garcia is in a real pickle.

Come up with your own and post it below.

NFL Jump to Conlcusions Week

Well, Week 1 of the NFL Season is over and it is now time for everyone to jump to conclusions, a la Tom Smykowsi from Office Space. You just witnessed a little over 6% of the season. Did you know whether "300" or "Dark Knight" was going to be awesome after eight minutes?

Not every team that lost badly this week is going to be terrible. Not every team that won impressively is going to the Superbowl. Some guys will step up for injured stars, and some other players will get injured later.Based on some of the projections we've read already, here are ten conclusions we jumped to for this 2009 NFL campaign.

1. The Patriots will finish 1-15, with a peg-legged Tom Brady signing on as a QB coach next year.

2. Vince Young will be in a padded room by Week 12.

3. Michael Turner's 2800 yard season will shatter all the records.

4. The Chargers will finish with 32 players on IR, with Nate Kaeding playing TE, K, and CB by the end of the year.

5. The 15-1 Cowboys will face the 15-1 Steelers in the "Superbowl of the Century."

6. The Jets will release Mike Nugent and sign another WR, as they don't need kickers.

7. Bernard Pollard will be the UFC Middleweight champion.

8. The Lions will go 0-16. and will promptly draft Percy Harvin this coming April.

9. Jimmy Traina will post about Women's Tennis. A lot.

10. MVP and Rookie of the Year Matt Ryan will continue to wow the Atlanta natives by putting Pepsi out of business, convincing Lebron to come to Atlanta, and not killing domesticated animals.

Spanish Teachers Protest Ocho Cinco  

When Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco to reflect the 85 on the back of his jersey, he didn't figure that he would instantly be making thousands of enemies nationwide. Aaron Carlson, Spanish teacher from Kearney, Nebraska explains: "Chad's little prank is making it difficult for us to effectively teach numbers. Students think that we are teaching them wrong because this clown can't use a dictionary."

Why is Carlson, and many other Spanish teachers so upset? "Ocho cinco" actually means "eight-five", while "ochenta cinco" would be the correct formation of 85 in Spanish.

"I really don't care, you cant stop me either way," related Ocho Cinco. "Maybe next year I'll go with Acht Funf. That's some German right there."

Due to a torn labrum it is uncertain when Ocho Cinco will be sporting the new jersey on the field. Ocho Cinco has said he hopes to play this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. Any time will be too soon for Mr. Carlson. "I can only hope he's out for at least 4 weeks. We'll be done with 2-digit numbers by then

Sports Blog NFL Power Rankings: Week Zero

Five of your favorite YBN Blogs Rank the NFL teams from 1-32. Lions at 4? Giants at 20? Eagles at??? Quite a few interesting picks...

NFL Search Results  

While waiting for the 2008 NFL season to start, we have to admit that we are getting a bit stir-crazy. Therefore, we decided to put our incessant Google searching for NFL info, Tom Brady's minute-by-minute status, and pictures of Leryn Franco to good use. Here are some of the searches we came up with -- these are the real, 100% accurate results.

Belichick Chooses Not to Suit Up  

The JA (Joseph Abboud) Apparel corporation has been signed on to provide tailored shirts, suits, pants, and ties for members of the NFL Coaches Club. It appears that they will be required to wear these suits during press conferences and/or when traveling in a team capacity. Mike Nolan and Jack Del Rio have already sported part of the "Joseph Abboud Coaches Collection" in 2007.

Bill Belichick, however, is the only Head Coach not part of the NFL Coaches Club. Therefore, this deal doesn't apply to him.

Although, Bill could cut the sleeves off of this Joseph Abboud shirt -- it might work for him.

Jim Mora -- Chicken? We're talking about chicken? Are you kidding me?

Rod Smart -- He Hate Road.

Keyshawn Johnson -- Throw me the damn chicken!

Emmitt Smith -- Because chickens don't quit. They don't even quit.

Steve Smith -- He didn't make it, cuz I broke his damn beak.

Clinton Portis -- That was just me in one of my costumes.

Joe Namath -- I've got news for you, the chicken is going to cross the road. I guarantee it.

Marshawn Lynch -- He didn't make it, cuz I ran that bastard over.

Joe Starkey (Cal Announcer) -- Ohh! The chicken is out on the road! He's going to go onto the shoulder! Will it count?

Terrell Owens -- I love me some chicken.

Kellen Winslow Jr -- He's a soldier!

Welcome to the Jungle Mr. Favre  

We've got fun and games...

Brett Favre, welcome to the AFC East. You'll feel right at home here, we've got some cold weather, wind, and some crappy teams -- just like the NFC North. No domes to be found here though.

You can have anything you want...

You got what you wanted in being traded from the Packers, where you wouldn't have been the starter. Aaron Rodgers is going to be a fine quarterback, and the Packers will be just fine. However, you are going to be playing for the New York Jets, where the jackass in the fireman helmet could have suited up last year. They've made some big acquisitions in the off-season, but you don't mortgage the future to go from 4-12 to 8-8. You don't know the offense, but you should be comfortable with the receivers, as you have been throwing to high school kids for the last two months. It's really not that different in NY.

It's gonna bring you down. Huh!

Brett, we understand that you didn't want to go out slinging a gun, aka interception, in the championship game. You didn't want your last game to be a loss. We get that. However, you might rethink that after a couple of 42-13 beatings and (maybe) an 8-8 record. Enjoy that 5th preseason game you have against the Dolphins and get ready for a Week 2 beatdown.
