In the immortal words of George Costanza, “I’m Back Baby!!!” I wasn’t planning on coming back but I was asked by two separate individuals on the same day if I ever planned on bring back the Blog. That means that there are at least two people out there that care about the blog and want it back. That’s all that I needed to fire up the old Word Document and starting telling you what I feel. So without further ado I bring you back Kaz’s Awesome Blog.
Random Thoughts so far about the NFL:
· Is it me or are the Patriots the closest thing to the ’86 Bears since well the ’86 Bears. They are absolutely phenomenal. They finally have given Tom Brady and their stacked Defense a wide receiver core that is beyond serviceable but I would actually say the Best in the NFL. Think about this offense for a second. When the Patriots come out in the Singleback formation which so far has been the formation they have run the most they have Brady under center, Moss Lined up on the Left, Stallworth on the Right, Watson at the Left Tight End, Wes Welker (my new official favorite player on the Patriots) in the right slot and Boney Maroney lining up in the Backfield. There offensive line while having no standouts has been together a couple of years now and that is all an offensive line needs. Look at the Broncos who have had consistently the best offensive line in the NFL for the last 6 years. I can only name the Center, Tom Nalen and that is more because he went to Boston College. But they have been together for a long time and now the Patriots have that same thing. Either way they this offense when clicking on all cylinders they are the best in the league.
· Never be in more then two different fantasy leagues at the same time. He gets too crazy. I am in three leagues and therefore have 9 or 10 running backs that I have to root for. (Stephen Jackson, Adrian Peterson, Deuce McAllister/Cedric Benson in League 1, LaDanian Tomlinson, Reggie Bush, Maurice Jones-Drew in League Two, and Rudy Johnson, Brian Westbrook and Edgerrin James in League 3) Including backups I am roughly rooting for 1/3 of the leagues running backs to do amazing. It’s too much and I can’t handle it.
· Why don’t the San Francisco 49ers throw the ball to Vernon Davis more? Let’s look at his physical stats, 6’3” 258lbs runs a 4.38. That my friends is what you call a freak of nature. (Note: Jevon Kearse is The Freak but not for the same reason. If you don’t get that reference then I’ll tell you in private) They should try and give him 8-10 touches a game. Throw him the ball the more, run a Tight End reverse I don’t care what it is but the 49ers need to give him the ball more. So far this year he has 4 catches for 37 yards. That is awful production for the highest paid tight end in football. There is a rumor out of 49ers camp that they don’t give him the ball more because he is too much of an idiot to remember any of the plays. If this is true the 49ers should accommodate that. Alex Smith should come to the huddle and say the play and then tell Davis what he has to do. Just my opinion.
- I was at University Chicken the other day picking up some food right when the Raiders were lining up to kick the game winning field goal in OT against the Broncos. Janikowski lines up to kick the game winner and right as the snap is happening Shannahan calls a timeout. Janikowski kicks the 52 yd game winner but hold on, the officials allowed the time out, the kick didn’t count and the Raiders don’t get the win. The Raiders line up again to kick the field goal and Janikowski misses it the second time. While I think that it was a great call by Shannahan to make the Time Out call, I think the rule needs to change. I don’t know how to change it. Maybe go back to allowing only players on the field to make the time out call instead of the coaches. I don’t know what to do but the Raiders got hosed.
- I know the format of this blog is all messed but I don't know how to fix it.

OMG...so Shannahan calls a TO and Raiders get hosed...I seem to remember a way bigger Raider hosing in the past...lets see...UM oh yeah that random QB fumbled to lose the game and thanks to the worst decisions in NFL HISTORY they gave him the ball back...Now that is the Raiders getting hosed.
Glad to have a part in the comeback. I agree with above post and on a side note the Raiders have been at the center of roughly 90% of all the rule changes in the NFL, squarely because they get hosed every time constantly. Sometimes I think the rulebook of football was created as a way to specifically fuck Al Davis (not that there is anything wrong with that).
