Welcome Back....Welcome Back,Welcome Back

Cincinnati Bengals welcome back the off-arrested Chris Henry..after cutting him in the off-season for...his arrests...makes sense?....it shouldnt..I dont have a list of free agent WRs..but I know there has to be a talented WR without ANY baggage like Henry's...I mean Henry is very very talented..but you have to come to point where you take a stand...and stick to it...imagine the Portland Trail Blazers cutting a player like...Darius Miles....tell everyone we're cleaning up the character of our team....then....re-sign him?....oh yeah..Henry is suspended the 1st 4 games of the season anyways..not sure how that could help the team much with Chad and TJ already hurt.

Speaking of WRs....Joe Horn was cut from the Falcons...whos is Joe Horn?...good I can move on..

There is no way you can justify to me that QB Alex Smith isnt better than JT O'Sullivan...there isnt..JT to this point has done absolutely nothing in his 6yr NFL career..and granted Alex hadnt shown much either(average 2 yrs ago with 16TD/16 Int) but at the same time the offense hasnt been good at all...his only real weapon has been RB Frank Gore.I think with Quarterbacks is consistency...if you are constantly in..out..in..out confidence is lost and you wont get the best out him most of the time.Alex couldnt build off the average season prior because he got smashed up and had a really serious shoulder injury in which the coach was questioning his toughness in the process...I think the relationship is nearing its end..but I blame the coach more than Alex Smith.

Speaking of quarterbacks..is there a QB who people think less of after a super bowl than Eli Manning?....its weird really.His last name is Manning...AND he beat the mighty Patriots in the super bowl...yeah..that was him...but...no one seems to care.I think he still hasnt gotten the credit he deserves for having a super bowl ring..is he a top 5 QB?...nah..not yet..10?..you may be able to convince people of that I think.

Arizona Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin..is in a bad spot...he wants to get a new,fat contract...Cardinals say nah..unhappy star players arent good..a small injury can muster itself into a missing game situation...he already doesnt speak much to the head coach..it does not fair well for Boldin..but hopefully he can still be productive for the Cardinals.

Eagles player is hurt...no not..McNabb...this time...its WR Kevin Curtis..with a hernia..so he's out indefinitely..it helps that McNabb spreads the ball around..so its not like he's losing his main target or anything..but I think this is more an opportunity for Cal standout DeSean Jackson..he's a speedster and if you can get him in space he'll pay dividends for the Eagles if given the opportunity...well..here you go.

SF pitcher Barry Zito won again..he's 7-15..he's improving..

The overly credible Foxsports.com complied a list of the top 5 overrated players in the NBA.
-Dwyane Wade(#5)
-Robert Horry(#4)
-Yao Ming(#3)
-Shawn Marion(#2)
-Shane Battier(#1)

Hmm....I think...with the exception of Yao Ming...I could on some level agree with all of these players..Wade is the clear benefiter of the NBA's hyper-sensitive foul calling..he goes near 10x a game..which is up from the last generation of basketball....Horry...look..hes hit some clutch shots...alot of shots...but he averaged 2.5 points last year...and has only averaged in double-digits 3x in his career that dates back to 1992...and people say he's a hall a famer...sorry..I'm on the no side...Yao Ming gets on this list because he's get hurt alot..and the 22 game streak continued a long way without him..but when he's on the court..he'll get off that list quick...with Marion there has always been a mumbles about what Nash has done for him and his creating his own shot...but while you may hit on something semi right(check the numbers pre-Nash) I would say that the biggest person benefiting from Nash would be Amare...regardless..I think the money Marion gets could get him a bullseye to be on this list...Shane is overrated to me...he plays defense...but isnt a great defender...actually..he doesnt do ANYTHING well...you name it..defense..shooting %...passing,scoring...he's okay at everything though..I think #1 is a bit much..but I do think he gets waaaay too much pub for the..."things" he "does."
