Passaic River Crests at Little Falls

We are officially a sports blog but I'm making an exception for tonight.

I live on the Passaic River in New Jersey and with all this flooding I just want to let people know that the river has crested (at least according to my figures ) and will begin to recede within the next couple of hours.

I hope all of you are in good health and your houses are salvaged. It has been crazy couple of days and the water will still be with us for a few days. At least we can know it won't get any higher.

I'll post pictures in the morning.

Gerald McCoy Quote of the Year

I'm not going to post anything else; I'll just let Gerald speak for himself.

A lot of times we'd get the call but we couldn't get lined up. They were moving the ball so fast. Now we have to learn to recognize formations to attack quicker. [...]

Man, I'm telling you man, they came out, they'd turn around huddle, snap, oh, 'There's the Mike, Go!' I was like, 'Dang! Um, Mr. Brady, can we line up?' He didn't care. He was like, 'You're not going to line up.' When we turned around one time I checked back around and my hand was going to the grass and they were like, 'Hut!' And I said, 'Noooooooooooo!' [...]

[Bucs rookie DE Adrian] Clayborn came to me and was like, 'Oh my god, it was so fast!' I said, 'I know! That's what I've been trying to tell you!' It was a reality check, we needed that.

2011 NFL Season Preview: AFC East

Alright, here we go. NFL 2011 is on the way and here are my predictions for the AFC East.

I'm also going to post my bets for the over/under win totals. Of course, we don't condone betting and please do not use this website to further your bad habits. But, if you're going to bet at least you can compare your picks to mine and see how awesome I am at this.

I'm also going to post the picks from "the ex-minor leaguer". This man shall remain nameless, but I worked with him over the summer and he gave me all his picks for the upcoming season. Needless to say, he played minor league baseball for a couple years in New Jersey so we know he's a good baseball player. Now let's see how good he is at handicapping the NFL.

New England Patriots 12-4 (Over/Under 11.5)

The Patriots are great, but they're just not going to win as many games as last season. 14 wins just doesn't happen every year. They are probably the most dangerous team in the NFL every season, so you can count on them to win at least 12 this season.

Zack's Pick: Over

Ex-Minor Leaguer: Over

New York Jets 10-6 (Over/Under 10 )

It's going to be tough for the Jets to repeat what they've done over the last two seasons and get back to the AFC Championship. They're a good team though, and should get at least 10 wins and sneak in with the wild card.

Zack's Pick: Push

Ex-Minor Leaguer: Over

Buffalo Bills 7-9 (Over/Under 5.5)

Clearly Buffalo has room to improve, but they're 4-12 record last season doesn't give the whole story for their 2010 season. They picked up a big piece in Brad Smith who will give them an edge in those close games. The Bills lost four 3-point games last season and should be able to improve in that area. I doubt they'll make the playoffs but I would bet for sure they'll get at least 6 wins. This team has been underrated for a while and they'll surprise some of the better teams (and their fans) this season.

Zack: Over

Ex-Minor Leaguer: Over

Miami Dolphins 5-11 (Over/Under 7.5)

This is not a good team and they are already having issues. The fans are pushing for a trade with Denver for Kyle Orton and that can't be a good for a shaky Chad Henne's confidence. They should win a couple games though but way under the 7.5 Vegas has them pegged for. I think this season people are overrating Miami and as I posted earlier, underrating Buffalo.

Zack's Pick: Under

Ex-Minor Leaguer: Under

Where is Tony Kornheiser

Anybody have any idea?

After taking his usual July 4th break, he returned for like two episodes of PTI and has disappeared again for the last two weeks.

I hope he's told his mother he won't be home for dinner....

Adam the Bull, full-time fill-in host for WFAN, is leaving the network for a brand new CBS sports station out in Cleveland. He will host the drive time show from 3-7 on 92.3 FM out there.

Well, thats pretty much it for now.

Best of luck to Mr. Bull and if any of you are ever passing through Cleveland, turn on the radio and give him a call.

Kellen Clemens to the Redskins

At least he'll get another opportunity to compete for a starting QB job.

In the last 5 seasons, Kellen first competed with Chad Pennington (in his rookie season), then was benched for Brett Favre and finally lost out to Mark Sanchez. So all told, he hasn't played particularly well enough in practice to gain the confidence of any coaching staff.

But, when Kellen has actually gotten on the field, he has played well. Not great, but decently. He is .500 when he starts, but his statistics are pretty pathetic. He has never had a real chance to play consistently, so perhaps he can prove himself when given more than a game or two at a time to start.

In 2007, he took over for Chad Pennington on a terrible Jets team and went 4-4.

We wish Kellen best of luck in Washington and will be rooting for him to start in Game 1.

Heisman Predictions 2011

I really don't know that much about College Football, but I do know that Taylor Martinez is a very good player. So, I was checking out some of the Heisman betting odds and saw that he was 55-1 to win it this season.

With those odds, I was willing to lay $5 on him.

We'll see what happens with it all in November.
