Worth A Listen- Where Is Goodell?
Hello all. While the NFL lockout of officials has become a national story and made the games almost a joke in my opinion one must ask the question "Where is Roger Goodell, the commissioner?" My local sports morning show featuring Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton sum it up very well. Check it out HERE. It's about ten minutes and Craig gets a little nuts but the point is right on.

Benny-Bay Vol. 2
Hello all. I am back with another auction style trade bait post calling it Benny-Bay. (If you have a better name let me know) Here is how it works:
I will put up a card or cards for trade and you can bid on them with cards of your own to trade. After a predetermined time I will accept the "best" offer and the cards go to the winner. Now book value does not have to be a factor, it's the offer I like best that will win. Obviously you know what I like so those types of offers will carry more weight. While I am not looking for money as offers but I would certainly have to consider a cash offer if you were to make one. I really am looking for a new fun way to trade. Depending on the cards I am offering I may or may not have a "reserve" on the auctions. I don't want to trade a decent relic or auto for a 1990 Donruss Julio Machado that I already have a dozen of. Once I set a bid as a leader the reserve has been met and the auction is on. If it is a "no reserve" auction then the first bid sets the bar and we go from there. I will make it clear as to any reserve level on a particular card or cards I put up. You can make bids in the comments section of the post and I will keep updating as to which offer is in the lead as the auction progresses. You can bid as often as you like and can add to a bid or change it as you wish. Tell your friends and let's have some fun with this.
Update: OVER

Are You Ready For Some Football !
Some more guys who should make some noise tonight. Nicks, Kiwanuka, and Jernigan. (sweet patch)
Now I can't post football cards without a few from my 2 favorite teams.
D'Brick, Sanchez, and Green are 3 critical players to the Jets success or failures this season.
It should be interesting to see how the Saints handle all the off season turmoil this year. These three cogs in their offense hopefully come through. Brees, Graham, and Colston.
I can say for sure that I am ready for some football. I think most Mets fans are. Now it's your turn.....
Are YOU Ready for some football?!
