I started to think of responses to what you were writing. <br /><br />Gruden can be smart, but I would like him to be slightly more critical when discussing NFL teams. It's pretty obvious he doesn't want to alienate anyone when he speaks.

This guy is an outstanding color guy and a great head coach; I mean the thing I like about this guy is that this guy doesn't do anything he can't do. This guy can run a telestrator a little, think about some crazy anecdote on the fly, make the tough calls after forty slo-mo replays ... I'm telling ya, this guy can do a little bit of everything. This guy reminds me a little of a guy we had on Fox Sports by the name of John Madden. You don't think of this guy as an elite broadcaster in the National Football League, but trust me, this guy is an elite broadcaster in the National Football League. Maybe the ratings and internet commentary don't reflect it, but this guy gets the job done. Jon Gruden -- I like this guy.<br /><br />Just kidding. Jon Gruden sucks as a broadcaster.<br /><br />Thanks to Bill Simmons for the template back when he was funny and irrelevant. As opposed to now when he's unfunny and friends with Jimmy Kimmel.JDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-89322603182299062842013-08-21T15:52:45.616-04:002013-08-21T15:52:45.616-04:00Snarf, riveting!

Just ignore any of the holes in the Rams offensive lineup. <br /><br />Slag, I think he was referring to the Gruden-era Raiders that had Rice, Gannon, Tim Brown and other older players. That's my best guess. <br /><br />Anon, I'm not worried about having a life, I'm worried about having time to write now that TMQ is back and Simmons is sure to start pumping out his Friday mailbags/picks column. Time is of the essence...that and keeping my sanity. <br /><br />Looks like Luck made a "lucky" throw. I know you didn't mean to write that. It's all about the catch though. Ignore the wayward throw and don't mention it.

The Reggie Wayne one-handed catch"<br /><br />I'd just like to point out that on this catch, Andrew Luck threw the ball right to Aaron Ross, who is not a Colt. I'd like to see Peter say the Colts did so many things right if that had been an interception, like it should have been. Great catch by Wayne, no question, but let's not pretend it wasn't incredibly lucky and a bad throw by Luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-61710355891945188062013-08-20T20:31:13.752-04:002013-08-20T20:31:13.752-04:00As the saying goes - Better to be thought an idiot...As the saying goes - Better to be thought an idiot than to speak and remove all doubt - or something to that effect . . . Regardless, King and his readers continually live up to this axiom. Here's a question for you BG - How the heck are you going to have a life when TMQ is back and King has this farce of a website rolling? I would say I hope you're single but that's no good . . . I guess it's a boon that Simmons doesn't know what the fuck he is (loved your description last post) or you'd be endlessly posting.

In fact, let's just cancel the NFL season because Peter doesn't think one game during Week 1 will be exciting enough.</i><br /><br />You're probably right that it'll be boring. Now the Rams, those will be 16 exciting weeks of football!Snarfnoreply@blogger.com
