      Brandon Marshall out against Chiefs

      January 1, 2010 /

      According to ESPN.com, Broncos’ receiver Brandon Marshall won’t play against the Chiefs this Sunday due to a hamstring injury.

      Marshall had sat out practice for the second straight day Thursday with a strained right hamstring that he suffered running a route.

      Having him available to play is critical for the Broncos (8-7), who need to beat the last-place Chiefs in their regular-season finale and get some assistance if they’re going to qualify for the playoffs.

      There are at least 10 different scenarios that can allow the Broncos to get into the postseason. The simplest is if two of these three lose: Baltimore, Pittsburgh and the Jets.

      This is obviously a huge blow for the Broncos, but at least they’re facing a brutal Chiefs team that Denver crushed 44-13 in Week 13. Knowshon Moreno and Denver’s running game should have plenty room to operate against a Kansas City defense that ranks 30th in the NFL in run defense.

      With this news, Eddie Royal suddenly becomes starter caliber and Marshall owners might find that he’s available on the waiver wire. The Chiefs’ pass defense isn’t good and the Broncos need the win so look for Royal to step up. Jabar Gaffney is also a sneaky good start.

      If Nostradamus were in your fantasy football league…

      December 31, 2009 /

      It’s draft day, 2009, and you’ve just arrived at your buddy Phil’s house for your league’s fantasy draft. Fat ass Tank is already there.

      Tank: Where’s your guy?

      You: Should be here any minute.

      Tank: He’s solid?

      You: Yeah, I guess. He’s my long-lost uncle. I met him at our family reunion last month. He said if I knew of any fantasy leagues to let him know.

      Phil: I can’t believe Ken’s wife forbade him to play the day before the draft. She forbade him.

      Tank: Ridiculous.

      There’s a knock on the door.

      Tank: That’s your guy?

      Phil answers the door. It’s your Uncle Nostradamus.

      Nostradamus: What up, playas?

      Tank: Nice beard.

      Phil: Thanks for filling in last minute.

      Nostradamus: No worries. Where is everyone?

      Tank: We’ve got them on speakerphone.

      Nostradamus: Sweet. Let’s do this. What’s my pick?

      Phil: Well, Ken – the man with no testicles — had the #1 overall pick, so you get to go first. You know how to play?

      Nostradamus: Is this a PPR league?

      Phil: Yep. 18 rounds. You’re up.

      Edwards guarantees victory for Jets

      December 31, 2009 /

      Braylon Edwards told the media on Thursday that the Jets won’t lose to the Bengals this Sunday at the Meadowlands.

      From the New York Post:

      “We won’t lose this game,” Edwards boldly declared, standing in front of his locker.

      “We want it too bad. I don’t think we can lose this game knowing the way our mindset is. Guys aren’t talking about New Year’s Eve. Guys aren’t talking about family. All guys are talking about is the playoffs. All guys are talking about is beating Cincinnati.

      “Were all dialed in. We’re all focused on this week. We know all we have to do is win and we’re in. Guys are very, very serious and are approaching this as a Super Bowl.”

      Wow Braylon – why to go out on a limb there. Guaranteeing a win over a Bengals team that has already clinched and might not play its starters is as worthless as guaranteeing a win over the computer while playing Madden on your PS3.

      Edwards should try concentrating on catching the ball and leaving the guarantees to Joe Willy Namath.

      Steelers’ Woodley calls out Patriots, Steelers

      December 30, 2009 /

      Steelers’ linebacker LaMarr Woodley predicted on Wednesday that the Patriots and Bengals will “lay down” this Sunday for their games against the Texans and Jets because they don’t want to play against the Steelers in the playoffs.

      From Forbes.com:

      “All of them lay down,” Woodley said Wednesday. “No one wants to see Pittsburgh in it. That’s just how it is. Everybody knows we’re a dangerous team once we get into the playoffs, no matter how we played the whole year. Once we get into the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers is a playoff team.”

      Well, no one can blame Woodley for trying to get Cincinnati and New England to play their starters.

      Pittsburgh has to beat Miami this Sunday and also have the Patriots defeat the Texans and the Bengals to beat the Jets. So in other words, the Steelers will likely be enjoying the playoffs next week like the rest of us: From their couches.
