Some people can’t sleep on planes. I know I can’t. So I end up wasting a day at my destination.

I’m not a fan of this guy but I really don’t know why he got fired. He giggled. Big whoop. I’ve giggled in awkward situations where I can’t say the truth or roll my eyes.

“They let you [get away with it].”

Stanton isn’t trying to decide which teams to have played on in the past.

big deal my phillies signed a coach who suntans his balls

Lazy read. The take isn’t “there are bad QBs now and there didn’t use to be,” it’s “mediocre QBs don’t get to lead franchises for years at a stretch anymore.” Confirmation bias is really easy to point out in any take, but you have to at least read the take to figure out how to apply it.

Brad Johnson, by a nose. Better numbers, more overall success. Only 6 interceptions on that 2002 Bucs team - that’s impressive!

I addressed a lot of this in my follow up post, but another factor your post made me think of is there are four more teams now since the 80’s and early 90’s now too.

I would have given the MVP to the entire Giants D-line in Super Bowl XLII. They were that good in that game.

This included two entire sets of good china, a set of Christmas china, and about a thousand little knick knacks. We kept everything that had a story (“Great so-and-so carried that tea set in her lap from New York to…

Maybe if we offer a tax cut to the upper class of quarterbacks, their talent will “trickle-down” to the middle class, enriching all of the NFL with more talent!

Gotta love the chutzpah of calling Berman’s Bay of Pigs reference kind of offensive, then busting out the Benghazi suffix a few paragraphs later as a nickname about a scandal regarding a dispute over some jewelry.

he’s from Mississippi. That’s drinking water.

This is what I’ve never understood. A good offensive line makes a decent QB amazing. A nonexistent o-line turns a great QB into Andrew Luck’s mangled shoulder. That more teams don’t invest heavily in linemen and then pick up whatever middle-of-the-road journeyman QB that’s looking for work mystifies me.

Drew, I love you, but I am consistently impressed by your ability to choose the most mediocre, forgettable Simpsons quotes.

Whoops, “Nagging the columnist, minus TEN points, for you!!”

You have too much time on your hands.
