Should have got a screen grab of it but shortly after the pats game, in the box score they had tannehills line as all "----"
ESPN is naming Jim Brady as public editor which is a new position that will replace the old ombudsman title.

That one is sufficiently creepy, and this one says quite a bit about Berman's general bumbling>
"I hope I'm there the next time you have a bottle."
So you can make her "squirm" I assume Chris? Creepy McCreeper.

They're just trying to implement a reverse jinx.ESPN has stopped worrying and stared to love the enemy. Bandwagons, ho!
Simmons doesn't work there anymore.
And fuck O'Connor. He was leading the bandwagon in the heat of DFG. I actually threw away a book he wrote about Jack Nicklaus and Arnie Palmer after I read the shit he spouted aboutBrady and the Pats.
Skip says Cowboys would be 6-3 or better if Johnny Football were filling in for an injured Romo.
Once upon a time Skip Bayless was a respected sports journalist. True story.
As is often said around here, please show your work to back up your statement, because I can't possibly believe this!
Bayless was a terrific print reporter in Dallas. Won sportswriter of the year awards in 1979, 1984, 1986. Wrote a great book on Tom Landry and another two on the Jerrah's Boys SB teams. His stuff for SI was generally good as well. As a panelist on Dick Schaap's Sports Reporters he was often excellent and spoke with inside info. Not exactly sure when he turned into the empty vessel of garbage that ESPN made him but he was once a great beauty.
Also hard to believe but Phil Simms and Tim McCarver were once great analysts. Stuff happens.
Who would believe you were a beauty indeed
When the days get shorter and the nights get long
Lie awake when the rain comes
Nobody will know, when you're old
When you're old, nobody will know
that you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty
A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold
Anyways, can any of you prove he's wrong?

ESPN's Top QBR-rated performance of all time is Charlie Batch's 186 yard, 2 INT performance with PIT and against TAM in 2010.
No further questions, your honor.
When I go to the list in that link of best all-time games by QBR, it's not showing the Charlie Batch game. http://espn.go.com/nfl/qbr/_/year/0/type/alltime-game
What am I missing? There's 2 99.9 games on that list, Brady and Palmer.
removing an item that makes them look foolish counts as doing the right thing. /mort
Holy shit, seriously? Did Deadspin catch that? Did anyone grab a screen cap?
It's still in his game log, what they did was change the # of action plays to qualify so he didn't qualify, and unlike the season list, for some reason (hmm I wonder why?) unqualified isn't an option for single game all-time bests.
I looked earlier, and it seemed like he still qualified. The leaderboard required 20 action plays, and Batch threw 17 passes and ran 5 times in that game (IIRC) so he should have still been on the list.

It was listed as 18 on the original, I assume that there were kneeldowns in those carries which didn't qualify as action plays.
Steve Young and Murderin' Ray Lewsi have Cam Newton as their MVPs, Dilfer takes Brady. Safe to say Trent learned his lesson after the Chiefs game last year.
Shocker, Young said that Brady was MVP on WEEI yesterday. Good to see he's a model of integrity and consistency.

Go to 7:46 or so if you are so inclined.
The gist is that Brady "carries more water" than Newton.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
It's pretty clearly in reference to all the replays last night. I like being faux offended as much as the next guy, but this isn't a "Cheatriots" thing.
