John Beck, NFL. NFL, John Beck...

As you can see, I've been lazy as hell this weekend. I'm so damn lazy that I took the laptop into bed and I'm typing this while lying down and itching my crotch.

I guess I have to say something about John Beck getting his first start tomorrow since I've been waiting for that from the moment he had been drafted.

Beck gets his first start in Philly and I'm really not surprised that the Philly fans are hoping that Jim Johnson blitzes 'till he passes out.

On the one hand, Beck has some tough games down the road. He gets his debut in Philly, against that Blitz-happy defense and I'm sure that the crowd will be as pleasant as getting sexually harassed by a mule. After that, he gets to play in prime time in Pittsburgh against the Steelers, a game that scares me probably more than the New England game.

Oh, and then there's that New England game in New England that I just mentioned, a game against the Ravens and their tough defense and the Bengals game which could be Miami's last chance for a victory. Yeah, no pressure on the kid at all..

But on the flip side, at least we get to see what he's made of. It does not get any tougher than this and it will either destroy this young man or he'll step up and become the leader that this team needs.

That said, I'm not expecting great things from him yet and even if he does perform well, it does not automatically mean he'll be great down the road. But at least we'll have some idea of what he can bring to the table and that's very important with a first overall pick coming up in April.

So yes, I'm excited for the John Beck era. Trying to keep things realistic but still pretty damn excited. Something that I haven't been able to say a lot this season...
