Broncos hire John Fox as their head coach.  Great hire.  Fox will bring defense back to the Mile High city and will run the ball.  I think he will mesh very well with either Tim Tebow or Kyle Orton.  If I were a betting man, and I am, my money is on Tim Tebow to be the starting QB next season.  Orton will be traded to the 49ers or Seahawks. 

Pat Shurmur was hired by the Browns as head coach.  Good hire, he is a very good offensive mind.  He was the OC for a much improved St Louis Rams team.  This is a big hire for Browns President Mike Holmgren.   If this flops the Browns will be set back again.  There are some pieces to build around so I look for Cleveland to be much improved next season...if there is a next season. 

Below is a great link to an article by Bill Simmons of ESPN.  He gives his two cents about the Carmelo Anthony saga.

Is there a more annoying team than the New York J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets?  Holy cow, earlier in the season they were taken behind the woodshed by the Patriots and now everyone on Jets is running their mouth, including the coach, Rex Ryan.  I can't wait until New England beats them this weekend so they finally shut their pie holes. 

Ravens-Steelers this weekend as well.  This will be a knock down, drag out, heavyweight prize fight.  I give the nod to the Steelers because of Big Ben.  In the NFC it's Chicago against Seattle.  It's midnight for the the Seahawks and there is no slipper.  I expect the Bears to win big.  In the other NFC game, Atlanta and Green Bay will get it on.  Even though Matty Ice is almost unbeatable at home, I am going with the hot team, Green Bay.
