It's been a couple of weeks, and just like the football season, we're back.
1) College Season Underway
Virginia Tech getting knocked off by ECU is a result qualifying as a surprise, along with the domination of Alabama over Clemson. The injury to Chris Wells in OSU's win over Youngstown State could be telling. No upset this time for App. State. Florida didn't need Harvin to rack up 50points. Michigan have their teething problems.
2) NFL Cuts, season awaits
Not too many surprises in the cuts, but the Bengals have been the most noted with the release of vets Rudi Johnson and Willie Anderson. In Jacksonville, Matt Jones and Troy WIlliamson have both survived for now. Formerly touted draft pick Andre' Woodson couldn't survive the Giants cuts, and will likely find a place on a practice squad somewhere, perhaps in New Orleans. Veteran Brooks Bollinger was cut in favour of rookie JD Booty in Minnesota. Look for the scramble for late pickups now. A few QB's have hit the market with Bollinger joined by Quinn Gray, Joey Harrington and Chris Simms. Simms would have to be keenly sought after, I wouldn't be surprised to see Chicago or Green Bay enter the stakes for him, or even Indy.
3) QB Issues for Opening Day
Kurt Warner has been named the starter in Arizona, not a good sign for the future. No word on the Ravens who have a 3-way battle. Pennington will hold off Henne in Miami for a little bit. Orton has been tabbed in front of Grossman in CHicago, neither look like a great option. Tavaris Jackson had better be it in Minnesota. The Pack need a veteran behind ROdgers and either rookie Brohm or Flynn. Who will be Peyton's backup in Indy?
