Kurt Warner call it a career

NFL quarterback Kurt Warner called it a career after 12 seasons on the gridiron. If there was real life movie script it was him. Warner long road to the NFL took him from Arena Football League to NFL Europe along with a grocery stocker job to earn a spot on a NFL team with St. Louis Rams. It was one ACL tear of newly signed Trent Green and vote of confidence from then-coach Dick Vermeil to put him in starting QB spot. Kurt did not disappoint. He showed off his God given talent of throwing for long yardage. In stunning fashion, he wowed the entire league with a magical 1999 season which he led the Rams to a Super Bowl win. It did not end there as his time with the Rams was known as "The Greatest Show on Earth" for their freewheeling offensive juggernaut leading to their second Super Bowl in a losing effort. His "Act 1" curtains closed after six sacks and a concussion in the 2003 season opener. He never returned as Rams starting QB. His "Act 2" started when he signed with New York Giants in 2004 going 5-4 before replaced in midseason for Eli Manning. "Act 2" ended after the season. Then came "Act 3" signing with Arizona Cardinals in 2005. He started on-and-off alongside with Matt Leinart til 2007 when Leinart went out with a broken collarbone. Warner took over reign and, despite going 4-7, he maximized use of the receiving core of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquin Boldin. It became the setup for 2008 season. He beat out Leinart at end off training camp setting off another magical throwing campaign of 4,583 yards and 30 touchdown passes taking NFC West crown with a 9-7 record. He took his team from wild card playoff spot to the NFC champion and all the way to the Super Bowl, a franchise first, before losing out to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This season he lead the Cardinals to another NFC West crown with 10-5 record as starter. In the playoffs his continued his wild passing juggernaut before losing to the New Orleans Saints in his final game of his career. His third and final act ends as the curtains closed on his career ending his real-life movie script. Kurt Warner deserves every accolades given to him. He's not just a two-time NFL MVP. Here's a hard working quarterback that got opportunity to take control and revived two stagnant franchises (Rams and Cardinals) into greater heights of success. Despite going 1-2 in his Super Bowl appearances he threw a total of 1156 total passing yards (average 385 yards). Could any quarterback able produce those numbers on multiple Super Bowl appearances? Away from the field he is known his charitable and generous work along with his wife. Is Kurt Warner a first ballot Hall of Fame? The answer is yes, not for his passing but taking a team's misfortune righting the ship into calm waters. Kurt Warner you will be missed on the field. Good luck!

Dwayne Bowe loses in depth chart, then weight, now four games

Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe suspended for four games for violating performance-enhancing policy. ESPN reported it was for diuretic. A big blow for the Chiefs as he was their key receiver of their struggling offense. This leaves Bobby Wade, Chris Chambers, and Jamaal Charles as their top receivers. Chambers is still capable catching for a score while Charles can run it in. It's going be a rough stretch for the Chiefs. Glad I dropped Bowe few days ago from my fantasy team.

No Fun League strikes down

Take the initials of NFL and call it No Fun League. You can call them that as earlier this week the league banned Captain Morgan pose for its guerilla marketing plan. Today they fined Bengals WR Chad Ocho Cinco $20,000 for his $1 bribe joke on a referee. No Fun League indeed.

Week 3 comments

Is it over for Chad Pennington? He torn a capsule in his throwing shoulder putting him out for the season. It marks the third time he suffered a shoulder injury in few years. As much I like him he got to consider on calling it quits. His finest moment when he beat Brett Favre led New York Jets, his original team he started for, to give Miami Dolphins at 11-5 record, AFC East crown, and trip to the playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys, in two possessions, made it to the one yard line only to get two field goals out of it. It was their second trip on the yard line their play-calling were questionable. Instead going for established run they threw both times and didn't score a touchdown. They need to work goalline red zone.

Can the Browns ever score a touchdown? Even the Lions can score more than one in their losing streak.

Dear ESPN, quit glorifying Vikings winning pass TD like its the greatest thing since slice bread! There were better plays like a fake field goal touchdown that actually worked this time.

NFL Week 1 thoughts

For Jay Crapper...errr...Cutler, there's a difference between arm strength and accuracy. Arm strength is good for throwing long but accuracy is much greater when you are throwing to your receivers wearing the same jersey colors as your, not to the ones in different jersey colors. Also you attitude still needs work. Who does he think he is? Jeff George?

Drew Brees going crazy with six touchdown passes and throwing to eight different receivers. Rest of the teams take notes on how use the passing game. Brees has a tough task going against strong Philadelphia Eagles secondary picking off five passes from Carolina Panthers' quarterbacks. Donovan McNabb continue to be tough but fragile as he suffered a broken rib in the game. His status is unknown at the moment.

Good debut for NY Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez leading the Jets to 24-7 win against Houston Texans throwing for 272 yards and a touchdown. Now his next test is against New England Patriots whom came from scoring 12 unanswered points against Buffalo Bills to take the victory.

49ers quarterback Sean Hill is now 9-3 as starter beating Arizona Cardinals. He can somehow make it win. Same goes for Kyle Orton as Denver Broncos barely made it by Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals bungled themselves a win when a tip pass off Bengals cornerback Leon Hall hands went right of Broncos receiver Brandon Stokley hands for 87 yards TD. Another reason why they are called Bungles.
