Preseason Cuties! Vets Still Got It

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Kickin’ It with the Ol’ School Players

by Nkeshi Free

Yes, ladies it’s the start of another season and its time to bring back the Sideline Pass favorite “Cutie of the Week” section.  So to whet your appetites, I decided to start off with a dedication to the fine former players of the NFL in a section called “Still a Cutie.”   So for the next week, sit back and enjoy a look at the throw-back classic cuties who can give the current players a run for their money on the looks department! Get ready for Aikman, Keyshawn and Rod W! Enjoy.

Troy Aikman

Troy Aikman

Okay, seriously, with those baby blues and “All-American” good looks there is no question that Troy Aikman was the perfect fit to serve as the QB for “America’s Team,” none other than the Dallas Cowboys.  Standing at a commanding 6′ 4″, he was known for being tough and his ability to take a hit and keep getting up, until he had one concussion too many and retired in April 2001.  While the starting QB for the Cowboys, Aikman led the team to three Super Bowls including back to back championships in 1993 and 1994 over the Buffalo Bills and the 1996 win over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers.  After retiring, Aikman was the first of the famed Cowboys “Triplets” to reach the NFL Hall of Fame.  The “Triplets” was comprised of Aikman and teammates Michael Irving at wide receiver and recent NFL Hall of Fame inductee, running back Emmitt Smith.  In his retirement, Aikman serves as a game day commentator for Fox Sports along with hosting a weekly sports radio show and running the Troy Aikman Foundation.  One thing’s is for sure when Aikman’s in the booth I have to remember to watch the game and not the sportscaster!  All I know is that this All-American girl can only say one thing when it comes to this fine piece of eye-candy…”How ‘Bout Them Cowboys,”  because in addition to a tradition of winning there’s a tradition of fine men!

Keyshawn Johnson

Keyshawn Johnson

Yes Lawd!  Really ladies I had to work extra hard to focus on the story and not look at this picture all day….I mean, how can I look at anything other than that smile and beautiful teeth…Whew…okay focus…focus… (lol)! Keyshawn Johnson, this former wide receiver for the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys (see what I mean about tradition of fine men, see previous Troy Aikman story), and Carolina Panthers is just a chocolate bar vision waiting to be devoured as eye candy!  In 2007 he retired after an 11-year career that included three Pro-Bowl selections, a Super Bowl win with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  He is the first wide receiver to score a touchdown on Monday Night Football with four different teams.  Johnson finished his career with 814 receptions and is tied with Henry Ellard at 17th for all-time career NFL receptions.  In addition to his sports casting, Johnson is known for his ties and love of all things fashion including an interior design show on A&E.  I tell you one thing that Keyshawn can come design me, my closet and my house all day everyday as long as he keeps smiling!!

Rod Woodson

Rod Woodson by ©J. Monroe Butler II

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, my work is done!  Rod Woodson….okay carry-on!  I know age ain’t nothing but a number and this man is just getting better like fine wine….I mean somehow, they thought I was supposed to look at pictures of this man and just pick one (lol)!!  I’m glad I don’t have to worry about selecting which one, because truthfully all of the photos I saw should just be one big collage dedicated to the fineness that is Rod Woodson! Oh and let me be PERFECTLY clear, I am 100% biased about his good looks because we share the same birthday (but not the same year, so don’t get it twisted, ha-ha-ha)!!  This defensive back and what a “back” it is… inducted in the NFL Hall of Fame, was best known for his years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it was with the Baltimore Ravens that he found Super Bowl glory.  I can’t believe he was in my back yard!!  Talk about a winning combination Ray Lewis and Rod Woodson on the same team…That’s not a super team, that’s super hot!  Woodson also played with the San Francisco 49’s and Oakland Raiders and was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1993.  Inducted in the NFL Hall of Fame with class of 2009, the analyst for the NFL Network on the show NFL Total Access has my TOTAL attention EVERYTIME he is on the screen!

Important Dates in the NFL

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Mark Your Calendar

It’s time to make some moves! The critical dates listed below mean the world to those fringe players looking to make the NFL roster. The opportunity to cement a position with a team depends on a number of factors – not simply based on whether the player is good or not. Depth at certain positions, injuries and special circumstances (i.e. Steelers QBs situation) change the complexion of the team roster.

Here are the dates to know for the rest of 2010!

  • August 31: Roster cutdown to maximum of 75 players.
  • September 4: Roster cutdown to maximum of 53 players.
  • September 9-13: 2010 Kickoff Weekend.
  • October 19: Trading deadline.
  • November 16: Signing deadline for franchise players.

Paty’s Fantasy Football Guide

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

By Patricia Hseih

Are you ready?

It’s FINALLY that time of year again.  The end of summer, kids back at school, and the start of FOOTBALL!!!   Months, in football time what amounts to ages, have gone by since the last meaningful NFL game.  The draft in April, off season workouts and OTA’s (Organized Team Activities), and now training camps are coming to a close.   And in the words of Hank Williams Jr., “Are you ready for some football?!?!”

Along with the news that Favre has touched down on Eden Prairie, MN is the fact that thousands of men and women all across the country have one thing on their minds: fantasy football (FF).  I got bit by the fantasy football bug three years ago when one of the college guys at church, knowing I loved the NFL, needed an extra player.  I had NO IDEA what I was doing or what fantasy football all about.  All I was told was that I’d be acting like a General Manager (GM): drafting/picking players and a Head Coach (HC): taking those players on your team and compiling a starting roster each week.  Teams go head-to-head each week and the fantasy team with the most points win.  My rookie year as a fantasy football manager was a painful yet good learning experience.  But I learned the ins and outs of drafting a good team.

Drafting: Online or In-Person

Die hard FF leagues actually come together and have live drafts.  A draft kit is made or ordered with each NFL player’s name on a sticker or card.  Once selected that NFL player is placed on that FF team’s roster.  One web series that I like to watch called “Fantasy Over Reality” has a great depiction of what takes place during these live drafts.  The FX channel has a show called “The League” but I haven’t watched it yet.

We played in a standard league run by Yahoo with ten (10) teams, each with 15 players selected in the draft.  One of the best things about Yahoo leagues is their accessibility. Yahoo had a fantasy football app for the iPhone giving me access to my team and stats from anywhere.  Due to the fact that our league was spread out across the country, we opted for an online draft.  We were still able to ridicule one another’s picks in real time and talk smack via the chatting feature.

What Makes a Team

Basic starting rosters typically consist of these positions:

  • 1 Quarterback (QB)
  • 2 Running Back’s (RB)
  • 3 Wide Receivers (WR)
  • 1 Tight End (TE)
  • 1 Team Defense (DEF)
  • 1 Kicker (K)

The rest of the players sit on your bench.  Each league has its own tweaks.  For example, Instead of the third WR you can have a flex position.  My other league we agreed on a WR/TE flex position.  Some leagues have RB/WR, etc.

Paty’s TIPS!

Paty H - SPass FF Guru

Some Basic Draft Strategies:

Most people draft their starters plus some back ups for most positions: RB’s & QB’s especially.  There are some crazy guys out there who carry two kickers???  Huh?  Some hoard good DEF’s.  I won’t name names.  You guys know who you are.   Then there’s handcuffing and I’m not talking about the law enforcement variety.  RB’s are more proned to injury so it’s common practice to also draft your #1 RB’s back up.  For instance, last season those who picked Adrian Peterson (AP) also drafted his back up Chester Taylor as insurance.  If AP goes down you know that the Taylor will take his place next week.  [My quick rant! Thanks to Mr. Mangini in Cleveland last season that theory all went down in flames and I got screwed many weeks trying to guess which RB he was going to start.  Talk about annoying!  Mangini is not to be trusted – ever!]

Watch the Clock!

Each manager has 2 minutes to make their selection.  If a manager cannot be present they can opt to “auto draft.”  That manager predetermines his or her player rankings from their #1 pick all the way down the line.  But please beware, you can get unintentionally loaded with one position depending on the order and placement of the picks.

Know Your Players’ Schedules!

One key factor to take into consideration while drafting is paying attention to your players’ BYE WEEK schedules. [Newbies: in a 17-week season, each teams plays 16 games and gets one week off, called a "Bye Week." If your players are in a bye week, you can't get points.]

  1. Make sure that your players’ bye weeks are spread out.  The last thing you want is to have half your roster on a bye week all at the same time.
  2. Along those lines, you might want to shy away from taking too many players from any one NFL team.  If you do, you really have to plan those bye weeks carefully.
  3. Before your draft make sure you print out the season’s schedule in a 32 team x 17 playing weeks grid which gives you the entire season’s schedule on one page.
  4. I highlight the bye weeks so I can access the data easily.  There are weeks that are bye week heavy having 4-6 teams taking that week off.

Welcome Paty H.: I am a former science major & SAHM turned fantasy football enthusiast. I haven’t quite reached “fanatic” – yet.  Join me this season as I juggle 3 kids, my first triathlon, & take on 3 fantasy football leagues for the first time.

Albert, Choose Please.

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Albert Haynesworth, #92

Daniel Snyder saw something in Albert Haynesworth. One can liken it to Al Davis, believing faithfully in JaMarcus Russell – looking past the stats and lackluster play to the natural born talent. What the fans see today is the same man, singing the same song, making the same excuses. I’m sorry Albert. I, too, would like to do as little as possible in the weight room and get the maximum results. It ain’t happening.

Linebacker Darren Hambrick asked, “what do voluntary mean?” when he realized that he didn’t necessarily have to attend all off-season workouts. Like Hambrick, Albert decided it wasn’t necessary for him to join his teammates. For the best definition of voluntary, the players should look at film of Jerry Rice running hills and showing up early. They should watch Emmitt Smith working out harder than most though could. Opting for best is another definition of voluntary. So I implore Albert – CHOOSE to play at your peak performance and earn at least half of your money.

Neither of Rice nor Smith were perfect off the field, but what they brought to their profession and their teams was immeasurable. The work ethic was contagious. Instead, Haynesworth bring a throng of reporters asking will he-can he-should he-could he play? Barring real injuries, those questions should be replaced by inquiries about productivity and vision for the season. Instead, it’s a guessing contest about his weight and bets on whether he can pass the conditioning tests. Last season, JaMarcus brought with him those same questions. He answered them with inconsistent play, lack of durability and downright trifling crap when the man could have been a great QB. Could have been, Albert, is not what you want to define your legacy.

Three times (on record) Albert has kicked or hurt a defenseless player – once kicking his own teammate in the chest during practice. Snyder looked past those lapses in judgment and offered the man one of the richest contracts in NFL history. Had he met all the incentives, which doesn’t appear likely, Haynesworth could have earned $115 million. Instead, he’ll still take some serious money to the bank while he whines about what’s happening on the field. While we’re all looking to other coaches, players and pundits to describe what’s happening, Haynesworth himself said it best.

Yes, Albert, what you’re doing out there is still disgusting.

Charlotte Jones Anderson

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Scoring Big in the NFL

After speaking with Charlotte Jones Anderson for just a few seconds it’s clear – the woman is about the business of winning. Not only does this apply to football, but also across the wide world of professional sports. She applies that same passion to managing charitable efforts, making certain that communities are well-served.

LISTEN HERE:

 Charlotte Jones Anderson [18:02m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (19)

Charlotte Jones Anderson

Watching any Dallas Cowboys game, you’re sure to see her handiwork. The brand has her imprint all over it. Clearly, she works with her father and brothers to propel The Star to even greater notoriety. With a new stadium designed as a showroom for some of the greatest athletes and entertainers in the world, the doors have opened even wider for the company.

As a mother, she shares that the whole family is about the business of growing the Cowboys. Her children keep her current on social media trends and hot topics of the day. She clear though, it’s most important to nurture the personal passion of each child, not the path the parent chooses. Her parents modeled that behavior, allowing Charlotte to make her own decisions and chart her personal course to success.

I learned something about Jerry Jones in this interview as well. The respect and concern he has for his children is undeniable. He’s passed along a drive for excellence and the unwavering confidence necessary to move ideas forward.  Listen as Charlotte tells how he sat down with she and her brothers to discuss the purchase of the team – and how each of them has been integral to the success of the franchise.

Enjoy!

Where’s the Bathroom? – New Surroundings for Five NFL Vets

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

“Loyalty is something that hurts you at times, because you can’t get youth back. I can honestly say that if I could go back and do my situation over, knowing what I know now with this organization, I’d have done it a little sooner.” Kevin Garnett

Jason Taylor, Flozell Adams, Donovan McNabb, LaDaininan Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook have to learn their way around a new locker room and a new city. Each probably knew the layout of his stadium better than that of his own home, spending countless days there season after season. All but Taylor have had the increasingly uncommon experience of playing for one team their entire career. Even Taylor, who left his team the Miami Dolphins briefly for the 2008 season, went back home to his familiar last year. The stay didn’t last long and he finds himself in a whole new world with a dynamic young team, but all new surroundings. If, like Garnett, these players find a renewed sense of purpose and greater promise in their new stadium homes, will it translate to championships?

Donovan McNabb: Philadelphia Eagles, 1999-2009; Washington Redskins, 2010

Donovan McNabb

McNabb played hard in that Philadelphia Eagles jersey – a broken leg, a punctured chest, and more – but was dismissed quite quickly. He’s been so close to finish line he could taste it, instead watching the Lombardi trophy hoisted over the head of his Super Bowl opponent. Now in his new home down the highway, the QB says he feels like a rookie again. Will the new energy, new coach and unceasing faith of a football city push him across for the win? Do you think he wonders what would have happened if he switched sooner?


Jason Taylor: Miami Dolphins, 1997 – 2009* (Washington Redskins, 2008); New York Jets, 2010

Jason Taylor

We’re getting glimpses of Jason Taylor, who in a recent interview with Dan Le Batard revealed the pain of the tough times in Miami. He said simply, “1-15” when asked what was the most the game ever hurt him. In the darker shade of green he now wears, he tends to look deep in thought at times. Perhaps wondering, “what if I’d left sooner?”

Flozell Adams: Dallas Cowboys, 1998 – 2009; Pittsburgh Steelers, 2010

Flozell Adams

Flozell Adams lined up for the Pittsburgh Steelers at right tackle after holding down the other side of the Dallas Cowboys line for 11 seasons. At times, he looked like a confused toddler trying to determine which shoe goes on which foot, learning left from right all over again. Even when critics labeled him a dirty player at times, his talent and drive were never questioned. He was a Cowboy! Many fans watching preseason ball were really confused, too– it’s almost like the jersey didn’t fit.

LaDaininan Tomlinson: San Diego Chargers, 2001 – 2009; New York Jets, 2010

LaDaininan Tomlinson

On his opening night debut for the NY Jets, L.T. received a vote of confidence from a player who’d been there. Curtis Martin, the retired Jets running back, reminded the audience that he won his rushing title at 31. “I won the rushing title at 31, and I think LaDainian has much more ability than I had,” said the retiree. That’s high praise, though San Diego fans would disagree.

Brian Westbrook: Philadelphia Eagles, 2002 – 2009, San Francisco 49ers, 2010

Brian Westbrook

Lastly, we’ll see what Brian Westbrook can bring to Singletary’s San Francisco 49ers. After seven seasons with Donovan in Philly, he’ll play with a new starting QB for the first time. He’ll need to learn what to wear in San Francisco and how to deal with fans who may not throw snowballs at Santa Claus but have been spoiled by Montana, Clark, Rice and Young. They have low tolerance for lots of talk without results.

“There is a season … turn, turn, turn … I swear it’s not too late”
Turn! Turn! Turn!, The Byrds

Preseason Speaks Loudly – If You Watch

Friday, August 13th, 2010

I hear consistently that the games we’re watching over the next few weeks tell us nothing – “it’s just preseason” is the refrain heard ‘round the world. However, as ladies and gents are selecting their fantasy rosters or making post-season plane reservations, I see that the games tell us a lot. It’s the final scores that tell us nothing.

I decided to do a short trip down memory lane to the 2009 preseason. Here’s what the preseason games told us last year: Drew Brees could pass! I mean really pass. In a game against the Oakland Raiders, the Saints set the preseason scoring record and Drew had a drive in which he went 4-4 for 60 yards. We were impressed with the New Orleans Saints. We saw a rookie QB -  Mark Sanchez – prove that he was starter. Jets fans believed they’d found Broadway Joe again (as they often do). But this time it looked for real. Again.

We knew early that the Colts were simply concerned with the playoffs – perhaps too concerned. Peyton and the team were ready to go but the coach was a bit conservative. Some chalked it up to leftover Tony Dungy strategic cool, but it wasn’t. Others wondered if the team was looking too far ahead. I still hold that when they chose not to go for a historic undefeated season – holding to the preseason pattern of looking forward – they ticked off the NFL gods. The day Caldwell pulled Peyton Manning, I knew they’d not win the Super Bowl.

Preseason told us that the No-T.O.-Romo looked looser and lighter on the field – still with that boyish grin. But he was still Tony Romo. Talent, yes. Talent under pressure – not so sure.. We could go on and on – Brett Favre was ready, the Eagles were getting concerned about Donovan McNabb (that’s the real reason they brought in Vick) and the Washington Redskins made a lot of noise – talking loud but still sayin’ nothing. And seriously, do the Baltimore Ravens EVER know it’s preseason?

That said, I won’t get happy when the Raiders get a win at Cowboys Stadium. I’ll add the “W” to the list of irrelevant facts while I look for real hints about the upcoming season.  The chart gives us the score breakdown of the divisional playoff teams’ records in 2009. Doesn’t tell us a thing. Not one doggone thing.

Checking the score the next day is meaningless. Watch the games ladies – that’s the only way roster moves, signings, cuts and the preseason itself make sense.

Phil Loadholt: The Vikings Tackle Keeps ‘em Clean

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Phil Loadholt #71 OT

Over the summer, Sideline Pass had the chance to interview Phil Loadholt as he reflected on his rookie year with the Minnesota Vikings. Coming to Minnesota from the champion Oklahoma Sooners, the 2nd round draft pick was well prepared to step into a high profile offense with high expectations. The talented player took every chance he could to learn from the seasoned vets around him.  Loadholt was named to the All-Rookie team after stepping into starting RT job in 2009 and starting all but 1 game.

As the lead blocker for Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson, #71 Loadholt had his hands full. Both players are known to be “elusive”, doing whatever possible to keep a play alive. But they could be that versatile thanks to their OT who is always willing to put in work. He proved his work ethic long before landing on an NFL team. As a junior college player, Loadholt gained the attention of the nation’s top teams after earning a ranking as No. 20 overall player in Junior College Top 100 (Rivals.com). He earned his way on to the National Champion Sooners, which positioned him for his next stop in the pros.

During the off season, Phil stays in game shape by working out the NFL Alumni Derrick Deese who spent 11 years in the league. The committed player understands that it is a job – no matter how much fun he has on the field. He treats the role with the respect it deserves and we never have to worry about him passing any conditioning tests.

Listen to our short clip here!

Raising the Bar

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Set High Standards!

I cannot believe it has been a week since we had Jay’s First Annual Life Skills Camp (www.JayRichardson98.com).  During the last six weeks, I spent an average of 10 hours a day with all the details involved. It was worth every hour of phone calling, internet researching, coordinating and meeting. One young man walked up to me and said he just wished it could have lasted longer. Who knew? I was concerned that high school boys would not want to spend all day in workshops where they learned etiquette and social graces; money management, public speaking, job skills, goal setting and strategies for keeping on the right side of the law. These
were boys who were use to being outside running, jumping, conditioning and playing all sorts of games. There were no video games, televisions, or internet access. What I witnessed were boys sitting at the edge of their seats taking it all in. They were mesmerized by strategies on how to treat women with respect, how to respect themselves, how to create a plan “A” and “B” and stories of real life professional athletes and their everyday struggles to compete in the world of athletics.

When I came up with the idea for the camp, lots of people liked the idea but were concerned that today’s young people would not sit still for a day and a half to take it all in. We asked each young man to write a paragraph of what they liked most about the camp and we were pleasantly surprised to learn that they really appreciated etiquette lessons and were grateful for advice on how to prepare for job interviews.

Girls – Get Ready for Camp in 2011!

Summer Camp - Football, Service & More!

I started wondering what would happen if we expected more of our children and allowed them to experience more things that made them think on a higher level. I could hardly sleep after the camp and have already begun to plan for more workshops and the inclusion of track for female athletes next year. I was overwhelmed with how many people showed up to volunteer. On short notice, people came and shared valuable information. Others came and decorated the facility, and still others donated lots of great gifts to make the experience special for the young men. One thing that still makes me sad is hearing parents tell me that they couldn’t convince their children (minor children) to attend. Some told me they realized there was so much great information that that their child needed but they couldn’t talk their children into going. My mom never gave me options to do things that she thought was good for me and I am convinced that is what made the difference in me reaching for higher goals. Many times I have sent my pouting son to something they didn’t want to attend and witness their smiling face afterward telling me how great the experience was.

Play a Game!

Play a Game!

Parents, let’s raise the bar and insist that our children get everything that life has to offer that is in our reach to provide. I was in tears just watching young men listening intently and not texting at the same time. We must challenge our children so that they can realize all the wonderful potential that is just waiting to be used.
I challenge you to push your child to do one thing out of their comfort zone this summer. Play an old fashion board game, take them to a play, have them journal for a month, go for a hike, or help them to develop goals for the coming school year. The list of possibilities is endless. We want our athletes to know that there is more to sports than the game. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at what happens. I would love to hear from you about what you discover. Don’t be afraid to raise the bar!

Faith, Patience and Confidence: Nic Harris is the Man!

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
Nic Harris

Nic Harris

Nic Harris brings a lot to the football field but even more to the real game – the game of life. Wise beyond his years, the 2009 5th round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills understands his role and how he can best use it for good. That’s quite ironic, given the fluidity of his football positions. Once described as a “tweener,” scouts wondered just what to do with this college safety who wasn’t quite fast enough and didn’t exactly fit the bill as a linebacker. The Buffalo Bills were smart – they knew that wherever they placed him, he’d make it work, just like he has all his life.

Abandoned by both parents at birth, Nic bounced around from relative to relative, from coaches to friends, learning that he could never call any house a home during his early years. But this isn’t a man with excuses. At 15, Nic applied for his independence, severing all legal ties to his parents. He was now officially his own man. He now makes it a point to return to Alexandria, LA and work with the young boys in his community who are often overlooked.

“God got it right,” he once said in a college interview. He shares that lesson with his campers and young mentees whenever he can. After graduating ranked in the top three percent of his graduating class, Nic  received over 60 Division 1 scholarship offers. Concerned about his grandmother’s health, he chose to attend the University of Oklahoma. While there, he racked up the honors we list below. But he also took time to mentor young children at the Marcus Garvey Charter School and run the Oklahoma Marathon.

Nic has a strong faith and knows that he can overcome any obstacle.  But the Kappa man also knows how to have fun and enjoy the game. We’ll be certainly watching for him.

Listen here as Nic tells us about his camp, his life and his goals.
