QB McNabb Won’t Play Versus Jets

The Washington Redskins will invade the New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey and fight with the New York Jets in their preseason game this coming Friday, Aug. 27, 2010. The Redskins are now uncomfortable with the fact that QB Donovan McNabb will not be able to play this coming Friday.

After being injured with a sprained ankle, the last game’s top passer McNabb in the game between the Ravens and the Redskins will not be allowed to play just to be sure that his sprained ankle will not be aggravated by another heartbreaking game between the Jets.

However, steps and tactics are now being done by the tactical management of the Washington Redskins to make a powerful replacement for McNabb. The Redskins are a bit aware of McNabb’s importance and are doing every effort not to lose another game this preseason. The Redskins were beaten by the Ravens scoring only 3 touchdowns compared to the 23 the Ravens made. Despite losing the game, McNabb was the top passer in the game.

Handicappers and bookies are now analyzing the possible output of the game with McNabb’s presence in the Redskins.

Meanwhile, the New York Jets won over the Panthers last week with QB Sanchez lucky enough into leading the Jets on their 9-3 Saturday night victory .

Can the Redskins cover the spread set for them, and make up with the totals and at the same time with their followers’ expectations? Things are now being taken into consideration by the Redskin just to come up with a very effective replacement for McNabb’s absence.

The Three Musketeers

There’s nothing much more important for a person than to know what his worth is. This has been the story for the previously undecided Minnesota Vikings quarterback, Brett Favre. After the long wait on his possible retirement or return to the Vikings to play another season, Favre has now decided to go out of the field once again. This has been after the three great musketeers of Vikings, the defensive end Jared Allen, kicker Ryan Longwell and guard Steve Hutchinson.

The three were reported to have been visited the QB in Mississippi, had a tour around Favre’s property and finally been brave to tackle the topic on the possible retirement of comeback of the famous QB. In a very light conversation, the three made it clear to Favre of their willingness to have him back once again not just for the team, but personally. They told him that they all love to play with him and that they would love to do it again.

The three haven’t felt a bit depressed after Favre expressed his agreement to play with them again. Right after Favre’s decision, the four flew together back to the Vikings headquarters. All have been happy after seeing the QB alight from Ryan Longwell’s SUV. They had their press conference to formally announce Favre’s return following their 12:40PM practice.

Favre’s comeback has ended all the speculations and rumours that have spread out the NFL world. Favre has now another season to prove, not just to the whole team, but to all those who have rumoured him as being just after the money. His contract deal with the Minnesota Vikings had been the same.

Truly, his return is a much sought after event not just for their fans but also for the many sports bettor that will risk their bankroll once again for the Vikings.

Business as Usual, With or Without Favre

With just less than a month before the start of the 2010 NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings are now preparing themselves into playing without the famous Vikings quarter back, Brett Favre. It was reported that the two veteran quarterbacks Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels are the probable replacement for Favre. Jackson has already set his mind into playing as the quarterback and is already comfortable with the situation. This is definitely, business as usual for the Vikings.

As a consistent response to all the rumours of his indecision to play this season or not, Favre and his agent, Bus Cook, keeps on assuring that he’ll still play as soon as his surgically repaired ankle is healthy despite the rumours circulating about him texting all his team mates and Vikings’ management saying his plan of retiring. The QB was also reported to be visiting his doctor, Dr. James Andrews, in Pensacola, Florida.

Brad Childress, Minnesota Vikings coach, strongly stated that Favre’s indecision until now will not going to be detrimental for the team, and that they are making every effort into outsmarting the teams previous performances.

Now that things are quite clear as the opening of the new season is approaching, with or without Favre, Vikings will always be Vikings. This statement will definitely give assurance not just to their fans but also to all bettors who will entrust their bankroll on the team. Surely, odds will favour to the team.
