The Jake Award

During the NFL season I write a little something I call 'The Jake Award'. It gives a little insight to some of the goings on in the league each week. I hope you enjoy it. Here is a sample from 2005:

Jake Rides Again!

Note to all NFL teams.....If somehow you end up with the first pick in the draft.....DECLINE! Whew! Was Alex Smith stinky. By midway through the 3rd quarter he had thrown 3 interceptions. No problem, a prolific QB named Manning had 3 in his first start too. But A. Smith did him one better and threw a 4th. Does that mean he will have a better career? Hang on to your money (doubtful). In truely Jake-esk fashion, he was 9 for 23 for 74 yards. An average of 3.2 per pass. At one point, A. Smith's QB rating was 4.4 (four point four). Just plain nasty. Someone take out the trash.

The geezur's famous Jake award is in honor of Jake Plummer, who somehow manages to find new and creative ways to snatch defeat from the jaws victory about every third week. The award is solely responsible for me taking a pass on Jake Plummer as a fantasy QB for the last three years.

Let's see, I need a QB2 and Jake is the highest rated left on my list... "I'll take Aaron Brooks."
