We’ll be the thinking person’s site for pro football.

The NFL is a hard league to cover, if you’re in the enlightenment business.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

I've been reading MMQ for years and it is pretty good overall. King is alright I guess. I kind of
equate him to the Michael Wilbon of the NFL except slightly less name dropping. He comes up with
a few nuggets a year and is obviously connected throughout the league. I really don't think he needed
his own site.

I just remember him devoting a lot of column space to his new I pod and what a great invention it was and how this could revolutionize music. And this is in 2009 or 10.

Well Mac told me to to tell you to go FUCK YOURSELF!!! ..So now it's been said .. .

So was he wrong?

I've actually been pleasantly surprised how good the website has been. Never heard of Andy Benoit but his team previews have been pretty good. There's a smidge of out-of-town stupid but otherwise they're detailed and informative. The articles written by players were a very enjoyable read (Even the blowhard Kluwe's). They've miscast Greg Bedard by having him write 3 Question and 10 Things I think articles. He actually has football thoughts unlike Peter King. The 3Q garbage and 10 things article should be King exclusive. His contributions have the weakest shit of the website. His shit has been awful fluff trash.

Offensive rookie of the year? This morning, it’s Chicago guard Kyle Long. The human sack machine, Jay Cutler, has been sacked three times in three games.

7. I think there are so many teams that could use Cleveland wideout Josh Gordon, so many receiver-needy contenders, and with the trade deadline coming Tuesday, he’s the most obvious candidate to be moved. Gordon, who is signed through 2014, will cost an acquiring team only $437,000 for the rest of the season (as opposed to, say, looming free-agent defensive end Jared Allen, who would cost $7.57 million to a team for the last nine weeks of the year). I realize Gordon could be a positive substance test away from a lengthy suspension, but if I’m the Patriots, and I still have my full load of 2014 picks, I’d offer Cleveland a fourth-round pick that could conditionally upgrade to a third- depending on performance and try to get Gordon.

He might be the stupidest fucking football writer in America. Incredible that's he gotten to where he's at professionally.

2. Thought I’d have a chance to try one of the autumnal Michigan brews during a meal stop at Ruby Tuesday’s in Grand Rapids. Bell’s Brewery, maybe, from nearby Kalamazoo; the Winter White or the Octoberfest, maybe. Nope. Largely chain beer, except for one Brooklyn selection. There’s a thriving Michigan beer culture, and none of it here. Why, Ruby Tuesday’s? Why?

You're at a fucking Ruby Tuesday you dipshit. Of all the locations in Grand Rapids to eat why would you choose a shitty Ruby Tuesday? Honestly, how the fuck did this guy get so far in life?

Oh, and his brilliant Pats should..maybe part with a 4th for Josh Gordon is looking even more realistic with each passing Sunday. He's SI's NFL expert. What. the. fuck.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Peter King is the best:

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Well, if you went to bed at halftime, when Denver led New England 24-0, you missed:
...

-The name “Peter” (no relation) playing a huge role in the outcome.

Josh Gordon, wide receiver, Cleveland. He had the best individual day in the league—14 catches, 237 yards, one touchdown—in a 27-11 loss to Pittsburgh (but I won’t penalize him for a coverage off-day by Joe Haden). The Browns have to be thrilled they didn’t get serious with any of the teams that inquired about Gordon before the trade deadline.

Ten Things I Think I Think

1. I think this is what I liked about Week 13:

f. Julius Peppers is a hard day’s work for any offensive lineman, and Sunday in Minnesota was no different.

g. Three sacks on the Vikings’ first three possessions for the Bears, who will not exit contention quietly.

Back-to-back 200 yard games for Josh Gordon. Nabbed 10 rec 261 yards 2 tds with Brandon Weeden.

On pace if he could've played 16 games for 102 rec 1,998 yds and 11 tds.

Maybe worth a 3rd rounder to the Browns. But it would've been a sacred Patriots 3rd rounder so totally worth it.

Doesn't that mean he was right at the time? In the offseason it will cost you a #1 or #2.

No. The Browns were asking for much more. King lives in a fantasy world where teams should be doing the Patriots favors.

5. I think one of the quirky things I heard here was in Calgary, where the Stamps play “Sweet Caroline” just the way it’s played at Fenway Park, shutting down the “so good, so good, so good” so the fans can take it away. They were good at it too.

Chip Kelly Wisdom of the Week

(Note: I’ve made an editorial decision about the “Monday Morning Quarterback” column in 2014. I’m going to comb the weekly Chip Kelly press conferences and find a quote I like. There might be some weeks when I cannot find one, and in that case, this note will disappear. But most weeks, I feel sure I’ll have a Kellyism for you. The reason I like to listen to him is that he’s the kind of an outsider who says things that make lots of sense. And I’ll try to pass on some of that comment NFL sense to you each Monday.)

Congrats on being better than me, Psycory.

9. I think if Bill Simmons has proof that Roger Goodell lied, then I’ve got no problem with what he said that caused ESPN to suspend him for three weeks. If it’s his opinion that Goodell is lying, then I’ve got a problem with it. How do you publicly say someone is lying and is a liar—adding profanities for emphasis—without knowing for sure?
