Top 5 Favorite Cereals

On a different note from football, I would like to talk about one of the most important aspects of my life; cereal. Here is to a snack/meal that can be eaten at any time of the day. Whether you eat it dry or with milk, cereal is a great food that has been around for a very long time. Here are my top 5 favorite cereals of all time. They cannot be a cereal that has been newly introduced and it must have been around for at least 10 years.

5) Crispix is the healthier cereal of the bunch. The great thing about Crispix is it never gets soggy in your bowl. It has a distinct taste for a corn cereal and doesn't taste bland like a cereal such as corn flakes. Crispix is delicious, healthy and provides a nice change to all the sugary cereals out in our supermarket shelves.

4) Apple Jacks the cereal that does not taste like apples, but "we eat what we like". These orange colored o's are a nice sweet cereal that is different from many cereals out there. I cannot describe the taste because frankly I have no idea what they taste like. I feel that it is magical goodness that makes my mouth water at the sight of that bright green box. Other cereals that are O shaped; fruit loops, Oreo o's, and cherrio's do not compare to this apple cinnamon cereal.

3) cocoa pebbles the greatest chocolate cereal of all time. Cocoa Krispies come in a close second compared to cocoa pebbles but the nice shape and true chocolate flavor bring it straight to the top. One thing I can definatly say is that cocoa puffs do not compare what so ever. Recently I purchased a box of cocoa puffs and on the box said "now more chocolate taste" bull fucking shit. Cocoa puffs used to be decent but now they taste life old shit chocolate balls. The best comparison I can give is cocoa puffs taste like chocolate covered Kix but shittier. The nice chocolate taste of cocoa pebbles bring a nice full chocolate taste and leave a nice bowl of chocolate milk afterwards. I personally think this is the best chocolate cereal in the world.

2) Cinnamon Toast Crunch a favorite cereal to many people across the world. Who can resist cinnamon and sugar taste in every bite, there is so much cinnamon and sugar in this cereal that when you reach into the box and you grab a handful your hand is covered in sugary goodness. Cinnamon toast crunch is so good theres not even any competition out there to rival those sweet little squares.

1) Kix, kid tested mother approved. These delicious little puffs of corn cereal are simple yet extraordinary how in the world do you get the perfect amount of sweetness on these tiny little balls. This can be seen as one of the healthier cereals and are great for young children. Kix are delicious and can be eaten as a snack or as a light and delicious meal. These perfectly sweetened puffs are by far the best cereal ever made and thus topping my list of the best cereals ever made.

Top 5 Qb's Under 25

Now that the season has ended, it is time to look into the future of the current NFL franchises. Successful franchises have a franchise quarterback that they can rely on, for instance Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Tony Romo. Without these Quarterbacks at the helm, these teams would fall and crumble. With the NFL draft about 2 months away, there are many teams that have a elite college QB on their radar. A team in need of a Quarterback is looking toward the future and will build their team around this drafted quarterback. Many teams are already in this process and these QB's are the QB's of the future. These are my top QB's under the age of 25 and who I feel will the future star QB's of the NFL. All these QB's have the tools to be successful and they are ready to unleash their wrath on the rest of the league in the 08-09 season.

Jay Cutler


At age 24, Cutler calls the cadence for the Denver Broncos, and is set up to succeed because of an experienced NFL coach in Mike Shanahan. Shanahan is known for his play calling and his ability to always have a good ground game. A good running game is a quarterbacks best friend and will keep defenses honest. Cutler finished last year with 20 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 63.6% completion percentage. Cutler has a big arm and the accuracy to go along with it. Cutler is only going to get better, and with the emergence of Brandon Marshall, Cutler now has his go to guy in the passing game. Cutler also plays in the AFC West that now provides weak competition and will be able to rack up some easy wins against the Chiefs and the Raiders.

Derek Anderson


Weighing in at 230 pounds and with a height of 6'6" Anderson has the prototype QB body. He has the size and strength to succeed. His cannon arm enables him to make all the deep throws to his weapons in the passing game. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Braylon Edwards are downfield threats that are young and provide a foundation to the Browns passing game. Anderson showed in his first year starting that he is a playmaker and a young QB that can get the job done. Last year Anderson threw for 29 touchdowns and 19 TD's, his completion percentage was a low 56.5% but can only get better with experience. Anderson may not be the future QB of the Browns in the next couple of years but he will definately be the star of any franchise he goes to.

Vince Young


At age 24, and coming in at 6'5" and 233 pounds Vince Young is considered a beast compared to the other Quarterbacks in the league. Young possesses the ability to make throws on the run and run the ball whenever he chooses. His big playmaking ability makes up for his inaccurate throws and his inability to read defenses quickly. Vince Young knows how to win even though his numbers are horrible. Young is a playmaker and his team will thrive with his success or die with his failure. There are no playmakers on the Titans and Young has the ability to move the ball himself. Since he finished his first whole season as a starter Young is able to use his experience, and develope into a superstar QB.

Brady Quinn


He is the future of the Browns, drafted 22nd out of Notre Dame, Brady Quinn just finished his first year in the NFL. He has no starting experience but he has played in a pro style offense under former New England Patriots offensive cordinator Charlie Weis. Quinn showed his incredible accuracy in his final year in Notre Dame and is one of the brighter young quarterbacks in the league. He makes smart decisions and is being brought along in the NFL like a young QB should be. He is getting his reps in practice and is on the bench observing live NFL games. He will be brought in with full knowledge of the offense and will be put in when the Browns know he is ready. The only knock on Quinn is his arm strength but in the preseason he showed he is able to put enough zip on the ball to hit those deep routes. In a few years we will see Quinn emerge as one of the top 7 Qb's in the league.

Matt Leinart


The sexiest Qb of the bunch Matt Leinart has the brain, accuracy, and the arm for the NFL. Leinart's mentor is Superbowl MVP and All Pro Kurt Warner. He has had his time to sit on the bench and learn the ways of the NFL. While Leinart had to learn two new offenses in 2 years, he showed his struggles last year before getting injured. Next season Leinart is coming in as the starter and with full knowledge of Ken Whisenhunt's offense. Leinart has all the tools to succeed he has two outstanding weapons on the outside with Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. Leinart also has a pass catching runningback in Edgerrin James, and 2nd year TE Leonard Pope has shown he can make a difference in the passing game. Leinart played a majority in 2006 and has some experience under his belt. Leinart also shined at USC and has a national championship and a Heisman trophy to prove it. #7 will be the next great QB and he will turn around a Cardinals franchise that has been losing for years.

Season in Review

Since the Pro Bowl ended, it is officially the end of the 2007-2008 NFL season. I would say it was one of the most interesting seasons in the past few years. There were many storylines that impacted the league this year, and it all ended with the New York Giants winning the Super Bowl.

So here were go


Spygate


One of the most interesting headlines of this past NFL season was the New England Patriots Spygate scandal. Bill Belichick admitted to an illegal taping of the New York Jets Defensive signals and used it to their advantage against the Jets in their Week 2 game of the season. After the incident went public Belicheck took full responsibility for his actions and it cost them a hefty fine along with the loss of their first round pick. While it is cheating and the Patriots did have an advantage, the players still need to go out and make plays. I mean if the Raiders were accused of a spygate scandal yet went 0-16 no one would give a shit. Anyways the Patriots might be in so more trouble because their is allegations against the Patriots taping the Rams final walkthrough before the Superbowl. If it is true Bill Belichick will get suspended for a year and fans of the NFL will jump for joy.

Brett Favre



38 year old Brett Favre led the Green Bay Packers to a 13-3 record and took them to the NFC Championship against the New York Giants. Favre who is the current leader for career interceptions (288) elevated his game to a Pro Bowl level. While talks of retirement has surrounded Favre every off season, it seems like Favre is ready to try one more time to hold up the Lombardi trophy. For being one of the oldest players in the NFL he is still one of the best. I have a new found respect for Favre and I really enjoy watching him play. The only thing that makes him gay is that Judd likes him.


The Emergence of Adrian Peterson



For all you noobs out there, Purple Jesus came from Oklahoma University and tore it up while he was at Oklahoma. Despite his injuries in college, Peterson showed he is tough enough to play in the NFL. Peterson showed flashes of excellence during the season and is the current NFL offensive rookie of the year and the AP rookie of the year. Purple Jesus also hold the record for rushing yards in a single season game at 296 and did this against a strong San Diego defense. This young back shows a lot of promise and will most likely have an outstanding NFL career.

Eli Manning



Eli Manning won a super bowl? This is the first overall pick of the 2004 season, and whined and complained about being on a busted San Diego team. After bitching and crying Eli got his wish and was traded to the New York Giants for a first round draft pick, 3rd round pick, 5th round pick and 4th overall pick Philip Rivers. Up until a few months ago it looked like the Chargers made the move of the century, in that trade the Chargers drafted Nate Kaeding and Shawne Merriman and the New Giants had bust interception throwing, no emotion, bitch ass Eli Manning. As of 2 weeks ago, the Giants have now gained the lead in that trade. The Giants won a super bowl and Eli Manning was named Super Bowl MVP. In the last 7 games of the season Eli Manning looked like everything he was suppose to be after being drafted out of Ole Miss. You Charger fans can argue all you want about how we have better players and how Rivers is better and it may be true, but Eli is the one with the championship. I know you Charger fans are pulling out your hair and punching yourself in the stomach now but this time next year I will be writing about how Philip Rivers overcame an ACL tear and led the Chargers to 19-0 record.

2004 1 round draft class.
Ben Roethlisberger - A dismantled face from a motocycle accident, and one super bowl ring.
J.P Losman - A below .500 record and lost his starting job.
Philip Rivers - A torn ACL and the emotions of a child.
Eli Manning - A crying baby who is now a Superbowl MVP.


Damn what a season...too bad its over, but if you are like me and love the NFL draft and love to research for months about future prospects then get excited because it is less than 3 months away. Stay tuned for my take on the future players of the NFL.
