Tom Brady, Jessica Simpson, NFL 2008 rewind
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Jessica Simpson was spotted everywhere!
What kind of year was 2008 in the NFL?
New England came within one game of winning all of their games, going undefeated, and yet we booed.
Tom Brady broke the season record for touchdown passes a couple of years after we said Peyton Manning’s record would never be broken.
Randy Moss broke Jerry Rice’s single season touchdown record and we cried, but you knew it would have to be an athlete like Moss.
The New York Giants won it all and yet some would call them only the 5th best team this year at best.
Another Manning in the Super Bowl, but not Peyton. This time it was Eli. How is he deserving? Oh, yeah they won the Super Bowl.
Jason Taylor left the Dolphins, because they are chasing youth after only 1 victory. They hired the Big Tuna to run things and will probably take the 1st pick in the draft and go for something boring like a tackle. Miami fans wonder what happened.
Seattle said goodbye to Shaun Alexander, the premier runner in our era in the NFC and Green Bay said goodbye to Brett Favre, the premier quarterback maybe in any era. Brett walks away with a boatload of NFL records and the key is that he walks away.
New Orleans and Katrina is beginning to fade from the national consciousness and with it we learned that the Saints are rebuilding, too.
Atlanta said goodbye to former college coach Bobby Petrino and Oakland kept former college coach Lane Kiffen, even though so far neither has accomplished much. Oh, and JaMarcus Russell made a lot of money to do nothing.
Dallas acted like the New York Yankees of football with Tony Romo, Jessica Simpson, and Terrell Owens providing theatrics and victories only to be upset in the playoffs. Now heads will roll.
Chicago fell from grace as defense only was clever for one year, but other teams caught on.
Jeff Garcia left Philadelphia after delivering the playoffs, because they have Donovan McNabb. He promptly went to Tampa Bay to deliver the playoffs. Several Bucs bolted for the Detroit Lions after the season stating insanity pleas.
Cincinnati arrested as many players as they could, but in the end only arrested their development.
St. Louis signed their quarterback to a huge contract and he disappeared. We don’t know his name anymore.
Adrian Peterson broke the single game rushing record and was briefly declared a god. Minnesota did not make the playoffs and his god status is now uncertain.
New England stole everyone’s signals illegally, but the funniest thing is they stole the Detroit Lions signals. What for?
San Francisco, Denver, and Arizona found out you can’t live on promise. They promise to get better.
Buffalo shuffled. They may split like an embryo and play part time in Toronto, that hotbed of football. They considered changing their name to the Toronto Dollar Bills.
More may have happened, but your intrepid author fell asleep on the couch a lot.
It was a NFL 2008 season to remember.
