Old Ballers of Week 2
This weekend was one for the oldies. Savvy old veterans came to play. There is nothing wrong with looking to the young bucks to carry the future of this league but the key word is future. Let’s live in the present and still celebrate our favorite seasoned veterans.
It all started on Thursday with the Ice Up Son, trash talking Yac Monster, Steve Smith who racked up 71-yards on 6 catches. He almost saw pay dirt but he was abused by the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ secondary in the Endzone which wound up being a penalty. Pick this guy up in your Fantasy leagues, as he is now Joe Flacco’s new security blanket.
Antonio Gates had a weekend to remember in September, as he was 7 for 7 for 96-yards and a Touchdown against the Legion of Boom aka the Seattle Seahawks Sunday.
I suddenly am catching flashbacks of a movie Old School, because people should be yelling “Frank tha tank” for Frank Gore after watching this 31-year-old Back straight ball on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. He may have only racked up 63-yards and one TD on 13 carries, but you could see he was one slipped tackle away from breaking the big one.
Jay Cutler looks to finally be maturing into the guy that every Chicago Bears’ fan and old Denver Broncos’ fans saw flashes of in his earlier years. The guy is only 31, but he was superb in his comeback against the San Francisco 49ers. Yes, I know he had some near-picks earlier in the game. So what! As Brandy says, “Almost doesn’t count”. Besides, it’s not how your start, but how you finish.
