Also from the article:

How can you say Montana was unquestionably better? By what metrics? Brady has 40 more yards per game, 1600 more playoff passing yards than Montana in the same number of years, a slightly better interception percentage, 120 more TDs, a better winning percentage in the season and the playoffs, and a better QB rating in…

It is weird the way Barry wrote that. There is no way Brady is not in the conversation for best QB of all time. The Super Bowls, his stats, his record...and he has been the focal point of the offense every year. With the exception of the year they beat the Eagles and Corey Dillon had a huge year, Brady has never had a…

I was thinking more like rancid imposter that will result in you being feverish and shitting your pants.

Dr. Jack Wolfson is the Skyline Chili of medicine.

I had to look up the column after reading that. Jesus Christ, he should be fired for that on the spot. It isn't a tragedy for rapists to be convicted of rape.

That Steve Politi article was even dumber than the excerpt Drew posted. I don't understand why it is perfectly acceptable to play the games that lead to the Super Bowl in frozen eighth-circle hellholes like Green Bay, but the prospect of snow during a Super Bowl means that America as we know it is over. Plus snow…

I sympathize with where Marcus Hayes is coming from. He writes about sports for a living, and athletes provide a lot of the raw content for his writing. If he can't have their participation, he can't write, and then he loses his job. If he loses his job, he loses his health benefits, which means he has to go out of…

Loved the toughness of the Bulls last night. Even if they had lost, they showed a lot by not fading away when they were down late in the fourth. It was great seeing Noah look like last year's model. Getting Dunleavy back will be huge because Jimmy will be able to go back to SG most of the time and take advantage of…

I really hope Drew didn't open his window when Mick Mars hovered outside of it.

Maybe Gerry Hamilton just wanted to give college recruits an example of an oral commitment that really sticks.

I played a World Series satellite at an Iowa casino once where we had a 36-way chop. It was the second satellite after a series of smaller ones ($60, I think), and this tournament started with about 100 players, and it was advertised as the winner getting a WSOP buy-in. For some reason, the casino decided to change…

I found Dan Harrington's Harrington on Hold 'Em really valuable when I first started playing casino tournaments. He espouses a fairly conservative style, which keeps it simpler for players just starting out, and he gives a lot of really good examples of hands.

This kind of behavior is common across all sports. For example, A.C. Green of the Lakers liked to keep his balls at such a high level of pressure that they were almost ready to pop on contact.

I'm not a member of the John Fox fan club, but I feel way more positive about the Bears having a chance to get someone with his experience and record than taking a chance on a first-time coach, because the Bears have been so bad at that. It also takes coaching talent to win even when you have a strong roster, and Fox…

He's the first head coach with previous head coaching experience that the Bears have hired since George Halas re-hired himself. All of those previous coaches have been average to terrible except Ditka, and even Ditka underachieved considering how much talent he had to work with.

The only worse thing than watching standard-def sports on an older TV is watching them on an HDTV. My father-in-law owns a super cheap Magnavox LCD (I was surprised when he found it that Maganvox was still in business and that the TV wasn't encased in a faux-wood console that weighed 150 pounds). Despite making the…

Jim Tomsula doesn't care what one man puts in another man's cornhole, as long as its not Jim Tomsula's corn.
