Well obviously Brett doesn't read our site very much or he would have seen my article about him. Oh well, it's okay. I'm watching him play in Houston right now so maybe UC's own Connor Barwin will make him feel like he made the wrong decision to wear purple. I'm not writing to talk about Farve today though... thank God. I'm writing to tell you that Gridiron Gurus is back starting this Wednesday night from 6 to 8 on bearcastradio.com. Terique and I will be joined by special guest Kyle King who will help us debate the return of Vick and Farve and other NFL news. We'll also be joined by a special guest who will play a new game with me called "Has the Student Become the Master". It should be a great show so tune in and listen up.
Thanks for all the support,
Jason

Brett, Please Stop
Okay, so I went to the studio Friday afternoon to do the show like I promised I would and lo and behold it was locked. Oh well, I will try again this Friday but there are only two more weeks between now and when Terique and I will be able to broadcast the show on the original night and time which is Wednesday nights from 6 to 8.
Enough of that though. This morning I got out of the shower and turned on Sports Center like I do every morning. What do you think was the first thing I heard as I was getting dressed?.... Brett Farve. It seams that we have been duped again, football fans. Brett Farve said that he would not play for the Minnesota Vikings this year and he was going to hang up the cleats (again) and keep what ever shred of self respect he has left. Finally, I thought, just like everybody else, that he was finally done for good. Unfortunately I was wrong though, because it seems that Brett has still been talking to the Vikings front office and even players in the Vikings locker room were telling the press that Brett and the Vikings were a "done deal" and that he would undoubtedly be in purple by the third preseason game.
Brett, I understand it's hard to walk away from certain things. Anybody who has ever played a sport they love has understood how you must feel. You have been fortunate enough to play this countries most popular sport (and in my opinion, the world greatest sport) at the highest level possible and you did it with a style and attitude that caused an entire city and state and most of the country to love and respect you for it. You are a shoo-in to have your name engraved in a wall in Canton, Ohio next to the likes of Joe Montana, Bart Star, John Elway, and Joe Namath. You have a superbowl ring. What else could you want?
I would rather not watch you ruin your legacy by popping back into the game every year after you have already announced your retirement. One, it's annoying and two, if you don't play like the Brett Farve in his prime then you will always be remembered as an old washed up Brett Farve. Brett, please stop. I don't want to start disliking you.
Gridiron Gurus will hopefully be on air this Friday (21st) from 6 to 8. Make sure you tune in at bearcastradio.com

Vick Goes From One Bird To Another
Wow. I knew that Mike Vick would sign with a team as soon as Goodell reinstated him. I just never though that the team that would sign him would be my favorite NFC team and my second favorite team overall, the Philadelphia Eagles.
This is a team with a franchise quarterback in Donovan Mcnabb that would have no need to sign another quarterback. However, Vick, it seems, will be playing a wide out spot. He could also play running back in certain formations, hell he could probably play any position other than offensive line.
I don't like Vick. I never really have liked him. I don't like his style of play, I don't like his attitude, and I don't like his punk-ass brother (You'll see why here). However, when the Eagles signed Mike Vick, I'm almost positive that the coaches for the Giants, the Redskins, and the Cowboys just said one word....... "Crap".
Signing Vick has made the Eagles a much more dangerous team.

Welcome to Gridiron Gurus
Gridiron Gurus is a radio show on bearcastradio.com. As you can guess from the title of the show, it's about football and yes we are gurus. By we, I mean me (Jason Garrison) and my co-host (Terique Scott). We also have a plethora of special guests. We have had Darren Hollywood, from whodeyfans.com and cincifan.com who is a good friend of mine. We have also had my good friend Chris Gibfried who specializes in comic relief and we've had my other good friend Kevin Brown who helps us break down college football from time to time.
If you've listened to the show, I hope you like it and have continued to listen. If you haven't listened, you definitely should, and this is what you're missing. Terique and I agree on nothing. If I say black, he says white and if he said the grass was green I would find a reason to disagree.
Terique is a run and gun fan. He likes the Michael Vick and Randall Cunningham style of quarterbacks that can get it done with their legs just as well as with their arm. While I respect a scrambling quarterback, I don't really care for that style of offense. I've always believed that a team needs a good pocket passer and a strong running game in order to win the big games. Even though that is a big difference in preferences, it is just the tip of the iceberg.
You can catch the show on Wednesday nights on bearcastradio.com from 6 to 8 (just click "listen now"). For the next three weeks though, the show will be on Friday nights from 6 to 8. We will be back on Wednesday nights starting on September 2nd. Tune in, listen up, and if you feel like it, call in (513-556-4529). We look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks a lot,
Jason Garrison and Terique Scott
