I don't know, he's kind of hit and miss for me. Sometimes he's like the Posnanski of football writers*, sometimes he's like the Thomas Friedman of football writers.... *I know Posnanski writes about football too, but I've always considered him primarily a baseball writer
Read the Kissing Suzy Kolber take down of his MMQB every week and you will never be able to get through his articles again.
And D26 beat me to it. It's hilarious and will destroy any ability to finish one of PK's columns. http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/tag/fun-with-peter-king
As much as I don't care for Peter King, that site's trying way to hard to make fun of his columns. FJM was much better at that style of humor.
That flag was a little bullshit, but you could tell the way the Patriots were moving the ball, they were going to get there eventually. It looks like Josh McDaniel's fucking woke up with 1 minute on the clock and remembered he had Tom Brady as QB. I evacuated my bowls on that last drive. Also, it wasn't the BEST call, but the refs are making calls at high speed, from whatever angle. The guy was touching the WR and not looking at the ball. Also, TOTAL make-up call from the Panthers game (karma wise.) This is 01 all over again, and its pretty crazy. Patriots are practically a zombie now. They look dead as fuck, but somehow they are on you tearing out your heart and eating your flesh. Also, Matt Prater, let's not blow him yet. I want to line up all the other kickers at Mile High and see how many of them make it. Pretty sure the old Seabass would knock one 70 there, and still hit net.
I wish you would write in this voice on Grantland. I enjoy the unfiltered prose of The Sports Guy much more than the somewhat cookie cutter, unoffensive version that Bristol subjects us to. Bring back Dan Patrick and Stoner! Am I right or what!?!?!?!
Blast from the past, I'm seeing it for the first time though. In honor of the lowest ever attendance at FedEx Field... GET EM!
Goddamnit it all to fucking hell...the Bears scored on EVERY offensive possession(except for the knee at the end of the game)...we're not going to win until Jerry dies, are we? That's the only way we'll EVER get a GM....
Honestly as much as Romo has choked in the past I cannot blame him this year. It's simply not his fault. He put up 40+ against Denver and 28 last night. What is the average score? 17-24? If you put up 28 you should be in the game if not winning, certainly not getting blown out. That said, I'm happy the Bears won on Ditka night.
Are there any cases of the owner being a big part of football operations that have worked out in the last decade or so? Al Davis, Dan Snyder, and Jerry Jones all hurt more than they helped. Whenever Mike Brown bumbles into a winning team he fucks out up in short order.
Depends on where your line is with Bob Kraft or Jed York. They're not Jones, but they're not absentee guys either.
TOTALLY....except RG3 200 less passing yds his senior year than Crouch had his entire collegiate career and was more of a passer in college than a runner. Its not his fault he was misused and then put back in hurt, and now is basically a child in the middle of two parents fighting. If you're gonna troll, at least be somewhat accurate. But you probably think its his fault in someway cause he's black. Yeah, minus the fact that he has no connection to Texas and hasn't been in college football in 30 years. They are gonna have their pick of any number of college coaches, they won't pick a coach who spectacularly burned out in his last gig, on the wrong side of 60.
It's going to come to the last game, isn't it? For the last 3-4 years it's ALWAYS come to the last game, win-and-you're-in with the Cowboys against some division rival...and EVERY time they royally shit the bed. Here's to another 8-8 season(with Jerry going ON AND ON about how he's going to "shake things up!" and "Things will be very different next year!"...God, I hate him).
Lighten the fuck up dude. If you had called him another Heisman winner who hasn't done shit it the pros, that would be a general statement I'd agree with. You compared him to a legendary running QB, excuse me for missing your oh so obvious point. I forgot that having a point backed up with anything but opinion and arrogance is nerdy and the sign of someone with a miserable life. But thats a predictably aggressive and sophomoric response. Just because we don't all run to a semi-anonymous messageboard to talk about our latest creampie or how we have "top rated" physical qualities that women find appealing doesn't mean I'm a small dicked celibate loser. But good to know that's how your prefer to discuss sports. Next time I disagree with you, I'll just say you must be like Lebron cause you're both well above average height with a hairline that is racing away from your face like it was on fire, as long as we're making unfounded generalizations from one or two posts.
Why is Josh McCown so successful now and is everyone sleeping on how good Trestman is? Also, why are Trestman's press conferences not filled with bullshit coach speak? After watching all the BB press conferences where he's said nothing, Trestman actually talks.
I would argue that Chicago has the best collection of offensive weapons in the NFL this year, and they're actually getting competent offensive line play. Cutler was playing pretty well before he went down. People freak out about the turnovers, but if your QB has a freakishly strong arm you're going to have to live with him trying to fit the ball into impossibly tight spots (see Favre, Brett).
I can't think of a better place for Mike Shanahan than Houston. The offense is already in place and defensively, they have JJ Watt. Houston really is a few player injuries away from being .500 at the least. If they lock up the first overall pick, Shanahan has Teddy Bridgewater to mold into Elway 2.0. I don't see the downside.
