Next Year's Breakout NFL Players (if there is a next year), Old People Talk Crazy, Katy Perry Doesn't Need Your Digital Touch Up!

The 2010 NFL season came and went.  In the event that we actually get a 2011 season, here is a WAAAAAY to early look at five breakout players for next year.



Matt Stafford QB Detroit: The Lions could use help on the OL, but if Stafford can stay upright, he can make all the throws.  He has a stud WR in Calvin Johnson.  With the Lions defense ready to force a ton of turnovers, I think Stafford could easily throw up 3800 yards and 25 TD's.  It's not a matter of whether Stafford has the ability, it's can he stay healthy.







The Tampa "Triplets":  Second year QB Josh Freeman quietly had a Pro Bowl caliber season throwing for 3,451 yards. 25 TD's and only 6 INT's.  Freeman added 368 yards on the ground.  Rookie RB LaGarrette Blount rushed for 1,000 yards and averaged 5 yards a carry.  Rookie WR Mike Williams caught 65 balls for 964 yards  and 11 TD's.  Throw in Kellen Winslow Jr. and Aurelius Benn and the Bucs' 2011 offense could be lethal.



Joe Haden CB Cleveland Browns: Haden did not begin the year as the starter in Cleveland, but quickly became one of the Browns best defenders. Some scouts questioned his top end speed, but he clearly plays much faster than he runs in workouts. Starting only 7 games, Haden intercepted 6 passes. He has future superstar written all over him.

I like old people.  I really do.  They say the craziest things, even when they are true.  Check out the comments Reds' HOF radio man Marty Brenneman made as the keynote speaker for Marshall University's Baseball Banquet.
" Marshall’s president must be “queer” for softball since the university managed to open a $2.5 million softball facility in March 2008, but baseball is still traveling for home games."


On the Reds' NL Central competition:
"[The Pirates] probably improved themselves, which means they’ll probably lose 97 games … There’s no light at the end of the tunnel for that franchise. There really isn’t … I’m not a big St. Louis fan, because I’m not a big Tony LaRussa fan. I refer to him as ‘Mr. Baseball’ on the radio, because he acts like he invented the game … The Chicago Cubs won’t be a factor because, no matter how much they add to their club, at the end of the day, they’ve got ‘Cubs’ across the front of their jerseys. That’s the reason why they won’t win.”
