NFL's Commissioner, Roger Goodell, had a meeting today to discuss the idea of expanding the regular season to 17 or 18 games. Team owners will get a proposal next month that will show elimination of one or two preseason games and adding one or two regular season games.

I hope that the owners agree to this! Pushing the Super Bowl to February would be awesome considering there's nothing else really on in my opinion (unless you care about the Daytona 500 and/or the NBA Basketball game).

Also, I always get nervous thinking my favorite player will get hurt before the season even starts. Then again, what if the get hurt right before the playoffs because of the extra games?

What do you think?

Jason Campbell QB for the Washington Redskins has stated that he will request a trade if the Redskins draft another QB. The redskins have the 13th overall pick and have their eyes on QB Mark  Sanchez. Most likely QB Sanchez will go much higher in the draft and the Redskins will have to trade for him if they really want him.
The Redskins also were looking for a new QB in Jay Cutler when he wanted out of Denver. Campbell was picked in the first round by the Redskins in 2005. So are the Redskins not giving this guy enough time to prove he can play? Or are the Redskins right in trying to replace the QB?
 My thoughts are why is Jason going to demand a trade he would most likely only be a back up QB somewhere else. Bad move giving an ultimatum like that.

Also, rumors are the first pick Detroit Lions are finishing the deal with QB Matt Stafford and he will be the first pick tomorrow. Can't wait to see! Will you watch the draft tomorrow? Any draft parties?

Personally, I will prob miss most of it. It is going to be 75 here and we are going on my parents boat. Their is a tv on their so I am sure we will have it on.

 

 

With the NFL Draft upon us this weekend, I was thinking about former busts and then Eli Manning popped up into my head. Not that Eli is a bust, but because how much of a crybaby he was when he said he wouldn't sign with San Diego if they drafted him. I then thought of that drunk photo of him...and many more photos. Enjoy!

Oh that's Rex Grossman haha

Poor Tony!



Former Charger and Cowboy QB Ryan Leaf (Center...shirt ripped open). He was the #2 overall pick in 1998. After no success in the NFL, he spent some time coaching in college but soon resigned after asking a player for a pain pill. Hmmm at least he's still having fun??



and....Eii Manning...shirtless...hahahahahahaha...sorry

My brother was right...Arizona Cardinal's Larry Fitzgerald is on the cover of NFL's Madden 2010. Now will he be the next to be under the "Madden Curse." I am very superstitious so come fantasy time I don't know if I would take him. Last year Brett Farve was on the cover in a Green Bay jersey, that they had to change to him in a Jets jersey.
2008 Vince Young who left college early only had 9 TDs and 17 interceptions finishing the season. 
2007 Shaun Alexander who everyone picked as their top fantasy pick was hurt early in the season and missed 6 games. 
2006 Donavan McNabb was injured after week 9 and was out for the rest of the season.
2004 was Michael Vick who missed the first 11 games with a broken fit.
Do you get what happens to players after they are on the cover of this video game. BAD LUCK!!  The only year that wasn't a total curse was 05 Ray Lewis, but his numbers were incredibly low compared to previous seasons.

Well I don't get why this video game is such a big deal with guys. I mean my brother and husband still play. I had to yell at them on Easter to get them to get away with it to come get ready  to leave for dinner. I hate this game! Spent many days/ nights just watching Jonny play. I would only not complain about him playing if I had a new US Weekly to read ha. So basically you will never see me promoting  girlsgonemadden!!!!

Do any of you girls play? Or hate it as much as me?

Philadelphia Eagles re signed WR Hank Baskett to a one year contract. They did not disclose money agreements. The receiver has been an Eagle for 3 seasons.
Hank Baskett is getting married this summer to Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson. They have a reality show coming out this summer. I wonder how much we will see Baskett because Coach of the Eagles Andy Reid and owner Jeffery Laurie are not fans of the media spotlight. This is good for the Eagles to have him back, and I am sure he is glad to come back and not have to worry about starting over somewhere else after just getting married.

The 2009 ESPY's will be hosted this year by actor Samuel L Jackson for the fourth time. Ughh so boring. No one will be able to top Justin Timeberlake from last year. Just like the best Victoria Secret Fashion Show was the year that Justin sang Sexy Back and Love Song.
But seriously Justin was soooo funny last year.  I want to see Chris Rock, or even like Ashton Kutcher, or Adam Sandler. All into sports and funny guys. Oh well. You can see Jackson hosting the ESPY's again airing July 19th.

Sorry Giants fans no Braylon Edwards for you!
 Last week my husband was talking trash about how the Giants got rid of one great receiver for another , but looks like the deal between the Browns and the Giants for Brylon Edwards is not going to happen. The NY Post reports this morning saying
"According to a source familiar with the situation, the Giants no longer see any hope of acquiring the Cleveland receiver and are moving forward with their plans to take a receiver early in the NFL draft. The sticking point still appears to be GM Jerry Reese's refusal to part with the Giants' first-round pick and the Browns' refusal to take anything less."

Who knows what will happen with Edwards, maybe the Giants are playing games with the Browns to lower the price or maybe they are simply just not interested and see other WR prospects in the upcoming draft on Saturday.
Looks like Cleveland is going to have to lower their offer  either way if they want to trade Edwards before the draft.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jimmy Smith was pulled over Wednesday afternoon according to TMZ. The former WR was found with cocaine, and pot in his car.

Jimmy Smith played for Jacksonville for 10 seasons, and was still living in the area. He was pulled over on 95 in Jacksonville for his window tints being too dark. Smith is now being charged with multiple drug charges and driving with a suspensded license. Bail has not been set.

This five time Pro Bowler left the league in 2005.

This one is my favorite! Love the high  fold over pony tail!



Whitney Port former Hills star now with her own show The City, played softball when she was younger. I love Whitney! This picture proves how down to earth I feel like she is. She posted this on her blog saying

"So I’ve been in LA for the past week for my sister Ashley’s wedding and it’s been almost 100 degrees for the last few days!!!!!!  So this scorching hot weather reminded me of my days as a little leaguer haha.  I went through some old photo albums at my house and found these and wanted to share them with you.  How funny are they?!?"


Guess Whitney won't be attending Hill's costars Hedi and Spencer's wedding this weekend.....

Happy Earth Day everyone! I never really thought much about preserving our planet, and saving energy ect, but once I had a baby it really made me think of how we are treating our planet, and what foods we are putting in our body, and how much energy we use. In our house, we changed all our light bulbs to those energy effective light bulbs, we don't wash all our clothes it super hot water, I don't take plastic water bottles to the gym I use a reusable water bottle. Jonny does the same with is water for work.
I don't use those reusable grocery bags, because I use my plastic bags to clean dog poop and use for dirty diapers ha. So I feel like they get used again. I am not sure of the "Green" thing to do for those situations. But I know a lot of people that use those reusable bags and love them, and they say they fit so much more in one bag. I try to buy things organic for my son as much as possible, so that he is getting less junk into his body. I just wish they didn't make organic more expensive.

What are some things you do to save our planet? Let us know. Also, watch Oprah today for great Earth Friendly ideas you can do! I remember last year she was the one who told me about the lightbulbs. I am sure she will have new ideas this year.

The NFL is one of the first to "Go Green." The NFL has been doing environmental friendly things for over 15 years" says Jack Groh the NFL Environmental Program. Some things the NFL works in doing in helping the environment.
 
1. They Recycle all that can be recycled at all NFL stadiums, events, and the NFL Football Experience Theme Park.
2. All extra food used from Super Bowl Events, is collected from Waste Not an organization that then distributes food to shelters, soup kitchens, and other organizations that help provide food to those who don't have any.
3. Any decorative materials used at NFL events, and the SuperBowl are donated to non profit organizations.
4. Renewable Energy is used at the site of the SuperBowls, and most NFL stadiums. This does cost the NFL more, but is worth it. Energy sources include wind, solar, geothermal and landfill gas.
5. The NFL also works in a greening program where they plant over 7,000 trees each year.

These are just some of the things the NFL is doing to give back to our planet.

The NFL started this trend 15 years ago  in hoping the NBA, MLB, and NHL will follow. They did not all leagues recycle at their stadiums, and use renewable energy at arenas, and stadiums.
