Very little credibility all the way around in this situation. ESPN is pathetic.Sexual harassment suit against Chris Berman settled

That one is sufficiently creepy, and this one says quite a bit about Berman's general bumbling>That video is great.
You're with me, leather.

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.They're just trying to implement a reverse jinx.
You showed him!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.
Once upon a time Skip Bayless was a respected sports journalist. True story.Skip says Cowboys would be 6-3 or better if Johnny Football were filling in for an injured Romo.
As is often said around here, please show your work to back up your statement, because I can't possibly believe this!Once upon a time Skip Bayless was a respected sports journalist. True story.
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.As is often said around here, please show your work to back up your statement, because I can't possibly believe this!
Shit. I was obviously joking but well done sir.Bayless was a terrific print reporter in Dallas. Won sportswriter of the year awards in 1979, 1984, 1986.

Also hard to believe but Phil Simms and Tim McCarver were once great analysts. Stuff happens.

Agreed.I'm pretty sure you answered your own question here.
No further questions, your honor.To review, in that Steelers-Buccaneers game, Batch threw 17 passes. Two of them were interceptions thrown directly into the hands of the opposing defense. Two of them were long touchdown passes that easily could have been intercepted if the defensive backs had done their jobs. One was a legitimately good touchdown pass. On the other passes, Batch went 9-for-12 for 90 yards.
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-gameESPN's Top QBR-rated performance of all time is Charlie Batch's 186 yard, 2 INT performance with PIT and against TAM in 2010.

What am I missing? There's 2 99.9 games on that list, Brady and Palmer.
So they don't trust their formula?They removed it from the list after the big stink was made about it.
removing an item that makes them look foolish counts as doing the right thing. /mortSo they don't trust their formula?
Chad Ford approves.They removed it from the list after the big stink was made about it.
Holy shit, seriously? Did Deadspin catch that? Did anyone grab a screen cap?They removed it from the list after the big stink was made about it.
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.Holy shit, seriously? Did Deadspin catch that? Did anyone grab a screen cap?
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'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.

Shocker, Young said that Brady was MVP on WEEI yesterday. Good to see he's a model of integrity and consistency.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.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
