Quarter’s Worth of Opinions on the NFL

After the first quarter of the National Football League season has been completed, fans can step back and review the early results. I have noticed some developing trends. The following are my observations, broken down by division.

American Football Conference, Eastern Division: Before the quarterback Mark Sanchez finally played like a rookie, Jets’ fans were dreaming of a “Subway Super Bowl” against their cross-town nemeses. Regardless of that loss, the Jets still hold a slight advantage over New England, thanks to their win in the second week. As of it appears now, both team are headed to the playoffs.

American Football Conference, Northern Division:No clear front-runner has emerged yet. Baltimore and Cincinnati are tied at 3-1, followed by 2-2 Pittsburgh. One has to wonder if the Bengals can sustain early-season success in view of recent years of failure. Also, are the Steelers simply feeling lingering effects of Super Bowl hangover and will recover in

Enough is Enough – eCouchCoach.com’s opinion on the Brett Favre retirement show

As seen on http://www.ecouchcoach.com/articles.php -

Like any other aging sitcom, the Brett Favre Un-Retirement Show, a show we’ve all seen in recent summers, is in dire need of a pulled plug.

I watched Friends to the cliché end, as Ross and Rachel finally found their inner peace. I sat straight-faced as Seinfeld writers rode off on a horse named Rerun, and I stared blankly as The Sopranos left me hanging, confused, and upset. Let’s face it, all things must come to an end, but not all end like Elway.

Brett Favre has so many reasons to be proud. A second-round draft choice of the Atlanta Falcons, Favre welcomed a trade to the Green Bay Packers and carved out a Hall of Fame resume wearing the gold and green. To scratch the surface I remind you of just a few: three-time league MVP, 10 time Pro-Bowler, and a lengthy NFL record list that is highlighted by career yardage, career touchdowns, and consecutive starts.

Statistically, there is

NFL Power Rankings – Week 17

BetRepublic.com NFL Power Rankings (Week 17)

Going out with a bang seems like a New York Giants kind of thing to do but while playing their final home game in Giants Stadium, someone must have misread the script. New York’s 32-point loss to Carolina on Sunday was the second biggest blowout in a team’s final home game at its stadium since 1970! Only the 1995 St. Louis Rams, who lost to San Francisco by 34 points before closing the doors to Busch Stadium for the last time, have lost by a bigger margin. Adding insult to injury, the Giants were also eliminated from the playoff hunt this weekend and to make matters even worse, the men in blue took a two-point drop in the weekly BetRepublic.com Power Rankings chart.

Here is the latest edition; note the shakeup in the Top 5!

The Growth Of Translation Services In Florida And Georgia

Five hundred years ago, the Spanish landed in Florida and found it to be a land ruled by warring factions and inhabited by hungry alligators.  Consequently, the Spanish decided to leave quickly. Sometimes, people think of Florida as a bastion for old grumpy people.  However, Florida has great importance to the rest of the world, this can easily be seen in its translation, and interpretation workers.  With Florida strong growth and international attraction, it is a great place for people in the language interpretation and translation professions.  For example, if you have an interest in providing translation services to the hospitality industry then you will find ample opportunities in Florida because of its theme parks and vacation hotspots.  The theme parks and restaurants in Florida are constantly trying to out-duel each other to their international audiences with high-tech animatronics, virtual experiences, and all-too-real thrill rides where you strap

Wait ? a ? Minute, Run That Back?

I am one of the biggest NFL fans on the face of this planet. I am an even bigger Dallas Cowboys fan. But the NFL shield isn’t as shiny to me anymore; not as glamorous. The sparkly shield the NFL so proudly display’s now has a little rust and few dents in it all because of one man. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Since being named to the NFL’s highest post Goodell has gained a reputation for being a tough; no non-sense type of guy. (Think Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, Michael Vick and Chris Henry) According to Goodell; he wants to change the image of the National Football League. So if anyone compromises the integrity of the league, expect an immense punishment.

Well, maybe that does not apply for everyone. (Think Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots)

True Michael Vick compromised the league’s integrity by fighting dogs, lying to the commish and pleading guilty to dog fighting charges. True Pacman Jones
