Everyone around football was predicting this since the Jets moved up in the draft to grab Sanchez, and now the Jets finally made it official. Mark Sanchez is the new starting QB for the New York Jets. He will get the nod for the rest of preseason and then when the Jets open at Houston. Though he struggled against Baltimore in the beginning of the game, his first pass was intercepted for a touchdown, the Jets felt that he has proved enough to be the starter. Sanchez went 3-8 for 43 yards and did throw his first touchdown pass, an okay game against one of the best defenses in football. Ray Lewis had this to say about rookie QB’s going against the Ravens D: “You put a young guy like Sanchez in there and you see our defense, it can be difficult. You saw his eyes get big, and he was jumping around in the pocket. Bottom line: We gave a lot of looks and disguises and we confused him a little bit.” And I think that Mark would agree because to start the game, he looked like a deer in headlights till he finally calmed down and just played. Jets coach Rex Ryan had this to say about Sanchez facing his former team: “I’m proud of the way he responded. It ain’t going to be perfect; sometimes you have these type of nights. You’ve got to give credit where credit is due, and most of that goes to their defense.” Well Sanchez will have plenty of time to improve and I’m interested to see how he performs with the Jets this season.

Its official: Michael Vick will be on the field for the first time in two years. The Eagles will play Vick in Thursday’s preseason game against the Falcons, his former team. The atmosphere should be crazy with media from all over there to cover it. I also wouldn’t be surprised if there was some protests around the stadium. In my opinion, I think he served his time and has been punished enough. I think he should be able to play football after that just like anyone else that has served their time in jail. You don’t have to forgive what he has done, but you should move on and let him live his life after the punishment. I’m sure time in jail will change anyone especially when it causes you to lose everything, like in Vicks case. It all makes for good TV on Thursday’s game.

What is wrong with me?

Why do I enjoy watching 9-year-olds beat up on each other so much.

I just caught sight of this video from SI’s Extra Mustard, where they had this video posted. It’s of 9-year-old Ben Wilson. The kid plays both sides of the ball, where he’s a punishing lineback on one side and a bruising running back on the other.

As I watch him pummel fellow players, I’m going to convince myself that these aren’t kids, but midgets. No wait, little people or “LP”, as they like to be called. Only because no 9-year-old can hit like he does.

Imagine you’re minding your own business, just playing a lovely, little game of soccer (or whatever they’re doing), when out of nowhere you get sideswiped by an unidentified flying object.

In this little guy’s case, he happened to be on the receiving end of a football to the face.

I haven’t posted a video in a while, so you can thank me later for the Wednesday Morning Chuckle I’ll send your way.

It’s up, it’s GOOD!

Robber was running from mall security.

Running is related to track.

Santa tackling robber equals football.

So those are my reasons for posting this video of Santa Claus. And check out Santa’s form. He should work goal line situations for the Miami Dolphins. He doesn’t give up an inch! Of course, the kick at the end would result in a 15-yard penalty. Santa brings a bit of an attitude to the field.

Enjoy.
