Since we are already discussing the draft, Big Ben's woes and upcoming season, it is time to start up the latest edition.

Tim Tebow + Broncos = win

Broncos get an almost pathologically motivated player who does seem to have a lot of ability (albeit not very prototypical), and Tebow gets a team and city badly in need of a new Sports Hero, and which will provide him both an O-line and media cocoon within which to prosper.

So kudos to Denver.

Meanwhile, Oakland continues to suck, and even with a decent draft choice for a top linebacker, the team isn't going anywhere until Darth Al finally bites it.

Raiders just got Campbell from the Redskins.
The Fabulous Orcboy
Jeez, poor kid. He goes from a team with virtually no O-line, to a team with ABSOLUTELY no O-line. He goes from one of the worst owners in football to THE worst owner in football. He goes from a team with three different offensive philosophies a year (for three years), to a team with NO offensive philosophy.

There weren't a whole lot of worse situations for Jason Campbell than the Washington Racial Epithets, but he found it in the Oakland Black Hole of Career Death.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that...

...unless one of your starters got injured. Then the pre-season matters. GAH!

I know it means nothing, but it's still nice to have a win from it. Even it it was only 10-7.

Kurgy, you mean the Jets. wink.gif Yeah, Rex Ryan loves to put a hurt on QBs. Remember, he used to be the Defensive Coordinator for the Ravens...

It was kinda funny to see how badly the Ravens stomped the Redskins the other night, though.

Bite your tongue. Do you know what the Ravens do best?

#4: Whine about not being "respected," despite the fact that they aspire to be the Steelers and wind up being the AFC's version of the Eagles
#3: Make stupid penalties, and whine about the refs "robbing" them
#2: Hate on Pittsburgh and whine when the Steelers beat them
#1: Talk shit before and during the game, then whine afterwards when they lose.

Douchebags, almost all of them. The same goes for their fans. An excellent (albeit slightly out-of-date) summation of the Ravens can be found here.. Best line:

Ravens fans today consist solely of dudes who sold you your Christmas tree.

Great White Idiot Peter Kings picks Steelers to win Super Bowl.
