Anquan Boldin ticked and other Favreless NFL News
July 25, 2008 by Lee · Leave a Comment
It’s safe to say that Anquan Boldin is a little ticked off. All appeared to be going well when it was reported that Boldin would show up to camp this week, but things could be going very, very wrong. A team Captain last season, he says that he was promised a new deal (again) and now has told Drew Rosenhause to call off the talks.
“Right now, I don’t want a deal,” he said Thursday after the players went through a running drill. “You may think I’m funny or saying that just to say it, but for me, I’m tired of it. I washed my hands of the whole situation.” Read more
Early NFL Power Rankings Up
Yes, it’s early. Camp has not even started yet. The page has been sitting there with a “Coming Soon” on it for way to long. So here are the Football Jabber Pre-Season NFL Power Rankings. Feel free to voice your argument in the comments.
NFL News and Jabber
It appears that Roger Goodell has come up with his latest way to shake up the NFL. He has already made great improvements with the player conduct and shortening up the NFL Draft. Now it sounds like the Commish wants to put his stamp on the outrageous salary that is demanded to sign the top NFL rookies. Looking at Jake Long’s deal with the Fins it appears that it has ruffled Roger’s feathers a little… Read more
NFL Playoff Jabber/Divisional Saturday
January 12, 2008 by Lee · 2 Comments
Everybody (except the Jags for some) that we expected to be playing this week is. Everything is going according to plan in what seems to be a given in the Patriots run to perfection. There is the old saying something like, “That’s why they play the games…” I have opened myself up to ridicule for my pick of the Jaguars against the Patriots. FanYard blogging says I’m having fits of Bushillariness [boosh-hil-uh-ree-nis]. I still can’t explain it. The Patriots are the easy, safe (safest ever?) pick. There is just this feeling that they can be beat and if the Jaguars play the whole game they can do it.
So did you hear that Matt Hasselbeck put his foot in his mouth at the coin toss for over time the last time the Packers and Seahawks met in the playoffs? I have to admit, at the time I was wondering what the hell he was talking about. Last week he cleared it up by saying he was joking around like kids would in the backyard since he knew the guys on the Packers. It’s all in fun.
Anyway, this week we have our poll results (at the time of writing this) from the Jabberheads here, the AccuScore Game Forecast used at the mainstream sites, and The Yardstick from our friends at FanYard. We’ll also take a look around the web with a bunch of links and quotes for today’s games.

NFL Footballderdash/Divisional Playoffs
January 8, 2008 by Lee · 8 Comments
Love the playoffs in the NFL! We are a week into it and things are shaping up just about how most people thought they would. Except for my nemesis, who picked the Steelers over the Jaguars last week. Let’s get to the divisional round. While your here, go ahead and hit the polls over there in the side bar for these games! —>
Good Guy (Lee)
Regular Season 30-23/Playoffs 4-0
Bad Guy (Kelloggs23)
Regular Season 30-23/Playoffs 3-1
Story lines! Brett Favre making another run, Will it be his last? His former backup, Matt Hasselbeck, returns to Green Bay. The Big Show, Mike Holmgren returns to where he brought a Lombardi home. The thing that catches me eye about this game is how different the seasons ended up in the running game. The Seahawks were supposed to have one of the top running backs in the NFL in Shaun Alexander. The Packers were not supposed to have a running game. Oh, what a difference 16 games can make. This one for me comes down to simple math. Over the season it has worked fairly well for me. Passing game+Running game+Defense beats having a Passing game+Defense-running game. The Seahawks sound as if they are content in coming in with Hasselbeck’s (a hurt Hassellbeck) arm a blazing and get the job done. Don’t see it happening.
Lee: Green Bay Packers
Favre’s swan call. The Seattle D showed just how menacing they can be this last week and will keep it going against the Pack @ Lambeau. I think Alexander will come around this game and play with more authority. I’m not saying 200 yards and 3 TDs, but I think he breaks the century mark and finds the end zone a couple times. Hasslebeck has been quietly putting up great numbers all year and will keep it going. The GB D is overrated IMO and will be exposed for who they are this game. Favre will be playing catchup and you know that means he will be forcing some balls which will get him into trouble. Holmgren comes back to GB and shows them what they missed out on by letting him go. Hasslebeck is gonna take the ball cuz they are gonna score!
Kelloggs23: Seattle Seahawks
NFL Playoff Jabber/Wild Card Sunday
January 6, 2008 by Lee · Leave a Comment
I have to say that the 4th quarter in both of the playoff games on Saturday was some of the best post season football in the NFL in while. Edge of your seat stuff, especially if you were a fan of one of the teams. We can only hope that today brings as much action. You can check out highlight videos HERE for the Jags/Steelers and HERE for the Seahawks/Redskins.
Let’s move on to the Sunday games. Below is some results from the polls done here as well as what the rest of the world outside Jabberland thinks via NFL.com polls (results at the time of writing this). Following that is a big link and quote dump getting us set for the rest of Wild Card Weekend.
