Seriously? Jeff George Thinks He Can Pick Up the Colts Offense in Just Days

With some fans suggesting that the Colts use their 0-2 start as a reason to tank it and win the rights to draft Stanford’s Andrew Luck, one memorable Indianapolis passer from yesteryear believes he could be the answer for the Peyton Manning-less squad.

That would be 43-year-old Jeff George, the once-strong-armed (and still-cantankerous) passer whom the Colts chose with the first overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft following a blockbuster trade. “Just talked to Jeff George, who lives in Indy and says he could pick up that Colts offense in a matter of days,” tweeted Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times.

George put up intriguing numbers as the Falcons’ QB from 1994 to 1996 (including 4,143 yards and 24 touchdowns for Atlanta’s 1995 wild-card squad) before bouncing around to Oakland, Minny, Washington, Seattle — and finally a cup of coffee in Chicago in 2004, before his career finished.

Jets, Bears are fantasy gold … no seriously

Published: December 26th, 2010 | Tags: Matt Forte, Chicago Bears, Jason La Canfora, New York Jets, Santonio Holmes, Shonn Greene

Here is this weeks’ recipe for a fantasy shootout: Freezing temperatures. Conditions so dangerous that our Jason La Canfora could not film from the field. And mix in a couple of top-eight defenses.

That is fantasy gold, Jerry. Gold.

No really. Because the Jets and Bears have combined for 72 points. Most of those points going to waste because a lot of people benched their Jets and Bears players. Santonio Holmes has a touchdown, and he is started in less than 40 percent of leagues. Shonn Greene is having a good game, he is starting just over 40 percent of leagues.

And seriously, why does Matt Forte decided to become a matchup-proof running back after he has already ruined most fantasy seasons? He is not only on the list, it is named after Forte. And Forte was only started in 50 percent of leagues.

This is sincerely bizzaro world.
