Headlines

The NFL is back baby! That was my first twitter post after the lockout was officially over.
The last few weeks were so insane in the NFL the headlines were crazy. The Patriots made some of those headlines by trading for some controversial players in Chad Ochocinco and Albert Haynesworth and today they signed former Jet Shaun Ellis.

You had the best free agent player cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha going to the Eagles. I think that was the most surprising, all the so called experts had him going to the Jets. Thank goodness Phillly swooped in and nabbed him away. Philly now has the nickname the Heat 2.0. They now become the superbowl favorites. They have collected a ridiculos amount of talent. Lets see if they can handle the pressure and if Vick is the QB to lead them.

Back to the Pats, they always do something to completely surprise you. The Haynesworth move can go one of two ways, he can have a dominant season and help the defense or he can be a complete bust. His rap sheet is pretty impressive. To say he has done some bad stuff is putting it mildly. We'll see if the experiment works. Will he be motivated is the big question?

The Shaun Ellis move adds some more beef to the the defensive line and bonus it tweaks the Jets just a little.
Right now all the teams are in the same boat building and fortifying teams on the fly. The season should be interesting. Stay tuned for more.
