There isn’t quite the same buzz around the Denver Broncos and Tim Tebow. Losers of their last three games, the Broncos finished 8-8, same as the Raiders. They won their first division title since 2005 on a tiebreaker.The 7-3 loss to the Chiefs marked another bad game for Timmy. Tebow finished 6 of 22 for 60 yards and added 16 yards on six carries.

This could be the quickest rise and fall of an athlete we’ve ever seen. It amazes me that people were so seduced by Tebow. Yeah, he’s a good dude. Yeah, he’s very religious. But the bottom line is he isn’t a great quarterback. He pulled out some amazing victories, but his stats suck. He’s throwing a ton of picks, and the Broncos offense looks putrid. It looked putrid against a Bills team that the Patriots just hung 50 on. I think the honeymoon is over. This time next year Tebow won’t be starting for the Broncs.

Amazingly enough, in all my life I’ve never been to an NFL game.   It’s not like I wouldn’t go given the chance, I just never got around to going to a game.  And while the game is entertaining enough to attend, there are more reasons than ever to go to NFL games these days.

You’ve got your tailgating which has really reached new heights, and you have your dedicated fan watching.  The lengths that some of these fans go to on game day is really extraordinary.

It’s as if it’s Halloween.

Check out these 20 dedicated NFL fans.

Nicely done guys! I’m pretty sure the studio execs at KSTP are die hard Vikings fans and really didn’t care about the showing love for the Packers T-Shirt.

Well, it looks like they got their wish. You know, all the making fun of Favre and stuff? All this indecisiveness? I mean good lord the man isn’t human. Is he really that good at this age? You know what the best part is?

He’ll never be targeted for using steroids. Sure he was/probably is addicted to pain killers but steroids? Nah. He’s only 39 years old and threw lasers for 3 TD’s. He couldn’t possibly be on steroids.

I respect what Favre is doing at his age but I highly doubt it’s without chemical assistance.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will be a guest host on WWE’s Monday Night Raw next week.

Roethlisberger will appear with some of his offensive linemen on the wrestling showcase, just one night after the Steelers entertain the Chargers at Heinz Field

You gotta love the NFL.  These guys make millions of dollars in the most violent sport out there (save for Rugby) and simply get can’t enough.  Instead of spending time with family, let’s just get on out to watch other big grown men who take steroids fake beat the crap out of each other.

The WWE reports that Roethlisberger frequents the circuit’s events with teammates when they visit the Pittsburgh area.

How about a strip club?  How about going out with young college chicks?  OK, these guys do that too.  I guess I’m just really jealous of this ultimate male lifestyle.

Big Ben is the man.

The New York Jets’ speedy wide receiver was benched by an angry coach Rex Ryan for the team’s game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday after Clowney complained on Twitter about a lack of playing time

A few hours after the Jets beat New England 16-9 last Sunday, Clowney tweeted: “1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half … A bit disappointed about my playing time but very happy and satisfied about the win.”

Clowney added in a subsequent tweet that, “My team always comes first so I’ma just keep grinding.”

Keep grinding huh?  Like going on a social network and writing 180 characters or less on the subject?  What are you kidding me?  In the NBA I could expect this.  Hell, even in major league baseball.  But now we’re getting the toughest men in sport whining about their playing time on Twitter?

Benched?  I’m pretty sure all of the players on the Jets should be hazing the shit out of Clowney.  First of all your name is Clowney.  Second of all I would expect some kind of LOL message or ridiculous string of tweet messages on this guy’s locker.

At the least they should put a large Tweet sticker that says “Pansy” on Clowney’s car.  I don’t think a simple benching by Rex Ryan is enough. I mean there vagina moves and there are vagina moves.

This one is about as menstrual as I’ve seen.

From the Star Tribune

Quarterback Brett Favre created perhaps a bigger buzz with a block than he did directing the Vikings offense in a 17-10 victory over the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on Monday night.

Favre’s illegal block to safety Eugene Wilson’s knees drew a 15-yard penalty and was a hot topic inside the locker room afterward.

I guess this answers the whole Favre not having trouble making friends in the locker room.  Just pop in illegal hit on a player or two and earn respect from the guys.  That and make sure to wear Wrangler jeans with no shirt on.  That’s actually what I hear has been Favre’s secret all these years.

Favre later when on to say

“I’ll be 40 years old in October and was weeding 13 days ago. I wasn’t thinking about throwing blocks.

Yeah I’ll bet you were Panama Red

As everyone already knows by now, Plaxico Burress has been indicted by a grand jury.   But I’d like to take a moment to make a completely non informed judgment on the man.

Please keep in mind that I do not know Plaxico at all.  This is strictly from what I’ve read and gathered.  It’s kind of like Michael Vick.  You don’t exactly have to know him to know he’s not the greatest guy in the world.

Plaxico?  The man just isn’t a good seed.  If you’re carrying a gun for any other reason than being a cop, security guard, soldier or are from the south and go hunting, then you’re probably a shady if not bad dude.

Unless you are being stalked every single day and have had multiple incidents where a gun is 100% necessary then why have one?  Burress said for protection.   Against what exactly?  Anyway, I’m bored

Find out what Plaxico’s reaction will be if and when he gets to play in the NFL again after jump

It’s awesome when football players lay out for a catch.  It’s awesome when you see how fast they are to go out and grab a ball from nowhere.  It’s fun seeing them snag a ball from another player in midair and that being ruled a catch.   But personally I think the most badass type of catch is the one-handed catch.

I don’t know what it is but it just looks impossible.  Ever catch a ball one handed?  It’s gotta be one of the most exhilarating feelings in sport.  It’s right up there with hitting a really nice golf shot.  Just one of those things that “feels” perfect.   You know, smashing an ace.  Clubbing a home run.  Knocking a guy out with one punch.  The list goes on.

The one handed catch.  It’s fannnntastic

“I know this place with really great Viking food”

This may be tough for some of you cheeseheads to believe, but after seeing this picture one has to wonder if Favre’s desire to be a Minnesota Viking may very well have started during his tenure with the Green Bay Packers.

Perhaps all this time Favre’s warrior mentality really meant that he wants to be burned in a boat and set out to sea at his funeral.   Now that’s a good way to go.
