Do you enjoy NFL football?  Consider writing for PigskinPundits.com. 

The Pigskin Pundits Network is looking for creative writers to cover the NFL.  It could be just a specific team or player, you choose.  If you’re interested, email - theproducer@pigskinpundits.com

Also, we’re looking for interesting podcasts or interviews.  Thanks!

Liftoff? Chris Johnson seems to have entered the stratosphere with Sunday’s blasting of the Houston Texans defense. Keep CJ in your fantasy lineup. Right now, he’s all the Titans have.

Matt Schaub - the new Drew Brees? Hardly. If you’re excited to see Matt Schaub on your waiver wire after a 4 TD performance, don’t drop a steady player to get him. Schaub has been inconsistent at best in his NFL career. This may have been his best fantasy week of the year.

Felix Jones is this week’s hot pick. With Marion Barber going down with a quad injury, expect Felix Jones to tote the rock for the Dallas Cowboys. It’s yet to be seen if Tashard Choice fills the kick return duties. Keep a close eye if your league favors kick return yardage.

If you’re noticing the San Francisco 49′ers uptick, check out a few players who might still be available in your league - Vernon Davis, Isaac Bruce, Josh Morgan, San Francisco Defense. Frank Gore looks to be a stud this year. If he’s on your team, ride him, hard.

The next John Carlson? Brent Celek, TE, with the Philadelphia Eagles has created curiosity with fantasy owners. He seems to be worth a look. With DeSean Jackson taking most deep balls, Celek may benefit in the short game, thus racking up extra catches in the red zone.

Peyton no longer the top Manning Fantasy Baller? It’s true. Eli Manning now has weapons to deploy. Take Steve Smith and Mario Manningham’s 20 catch performance against the Dallas Cowboys defense as proof. Is there anyone on the Colts other than Reggie Wayne who might catch 10 balls? Enough said.

On the downward trend - Lendale White, Le’Ron McClain. Neither running back seems to be making an impact.

Edelman who? With Wes Welker out, Tom Brady threw a wrench in fantasy football land. He found a new target. If you’re a Randy Moss owner, be worried.

Matt Ryan is the real deal. If you drafted Matt Ryan as your second QB, you might want to consider trading your first. Ryan looks to be a solid 300 yd, 2 td player each week.

Marshawn who? Fred Jackson is making the most of his opportunity with the Buffalo Bills. With 28 carries, 163 yards, and a 5.8 avg in Week 2, it’ll be hard to justify carries for Marshawn Lynch once he returns. Your best bet might be to trade Jackson now. Lynch could take away too many carries in a split situation.

Vince Young Foods

As if the Vince Young drama hasn’t taken enough turns, now a sausage has entered the picture. Launched a week before his on-field meltdown, Vince Young’s sausage was sorry to see him benched. VinceYoungSausage.com is part of Vince’s diversification in the trade of celebrity status. Selling sausage, brisket, and ribs, Vince Young has now crossed over into the ever-present celebrity food business.

The Titans Don’t Understand His Problem

As documented in reports, the Titans attempted to identify Vince’s emotional troubles by a “talk” with a team psychologist. And Vince promptly left the premises only to be found as a missing person by Metro Police. Yeah, that worked good.

Everybody with a microphone has blasted what they think is wrong. But have they thought about the sausage?

Enter Gordon Ramsey

My suggestion, because Vince’s emotional panic and the launch of his sausage seemed to have a strange correlation in timing, the Titans owe Vince Young a visit from the only psychologist who can tell him what he needs to hear, enter Chef Gordon Ramsey. Maybe an episode in Hell’s Kitchen would wake Vince up enough to make him realize there’s only one thing he should be thinking about, football.

But what would be Chef Ramsey’s advice? Here are just a few I came up with:

1. Never, and I mean NEVER, have your name and sausage in the same sentence, domain, label, or article.
2. If you’re going to launch a food product, start with something that matches your brand - example, “VY Butter - Spread Made Easy”, “Vince’s Wing Sauce - The Hottest In Texas”, (insert your example here).
3. Learn to stand up to your momma.
4. Focus on quality first. If you have fancy decorations but crappy food, no one will come back.
5. Never leave the serving line to cry. There’s no crying in cooking and there sure as %@$# ain’t no crying in the NFL!!
6. No one will respect you if you don’t respect yourself (VinceYoungSausage??) You’re a ^%#$%#^ football player for #&@^@*@ sake’s!!!
7. When the pressure’s on, it’s your time to shine. Everyone is equal until the heat is turned up. That’s when true talent shines.
8. Never attach the word sausage to your name. Sorry, I know I’ve already said that but it bears repeating to get it through your *#&%@&*$# head!
9. *#&#^& or get off the pot.
10. Take it back to the basics and where it all began. Don’t make it too complicated. Think simple.
