James Starks will celebrate his Super Bowl MVP by drinking a bottle of vodka and smashing light bulbs on his driveway.

Obviously that is the ONLY way to celebrate anything.

I too was stun. I'm thinking maybe MM wants to use him in the return game. BJax has looked good as of late so I don't think he's going to lose carries to Starks.

I predicted he'd be activated but i thot nance or qjohnson would go.

It would be awesome if he became a real KR threat this year! doubt he can PR.

I think he was activated so that they could continue practicing him. I think this move has more to do with getting him ready for next season than it does for this year.

Nice to see they have some faith in a young RB. Too bad for Francois. Remember Robert: you destroyed Joseph Addai.

Did he return in college?

If he can return punts, that would be huge. Please get Tramon out of there. :pray:

The talk in training camp was that he was going to get return reps if he could ever play. If we had Najev Davenport and Bjax run back kicks, I don't see why starks couldn't.

Frankly, I JUST WANT A DAMNED SPECIALIST! Don't tell me that we can't find one that is at least as competent as Swain as a 5th receiver.

I hope GB goes after Antoine "Shaky" Smithson from the University of Utah. The guy is the most electric PR I have ever seen. He is pretty good on KR but holy crap the guy can move on PRs.

I am a University of Utah fan (and season ticket holder) and a huge GB fan. I agree that GB needs a specialist in this area. It sure couldn't hurt.
