Always bet on Beanie

FootballAccording to The Trenches blog over at Sporting News, Vegas is giving Chris “Beanie” Wells 7-2 odds for finishing as NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the year this season. Those odds are second to only Knowshon Moreno, who they’re pegging at 5-2. Pretty good company, there.

Chris "Beanie" Wells Stiff Arm MSU

I’m not sure how the Cardinals plan on using Beanie, but we will be rooting for the Stiff Arm of Justice, wherever it goes. But with Knowshon playing in Denver’s system, he may have the upper hand. Both should have good rookie seasons as both are great backs, but I still maintain that even if Moreno did it first, Beanie did it better.

Mixed Emotions

FootballI love Santonio Holmes like any good Buckeye fan. I was sad to see him leave early, but I’m happy that he’s found success, especially in the Super Bowl. That catch in the end zone was a thing of beauty. Good on you, Santonio.

That being said, he plays for the Steelers. I’d rather eat rusty nails and gargle with bleach than watch the Steelers win.

Mixed emotions.

NFL-Preseason Vernon Gholston Shot

I wanted to get this up as I was watching the Browns/Jets preseason game last night, but just ran out of time. So I figured while I watch the Olympic opening ceremonies would be a great time to post a little OSZeus Beefcake:

It’s from a couple months ago, but it’s the best shot I could find of him in a Jets uni and his new #56.
