Friday's. "They're not as crispy as the poppers as the Chili's in Terre Haute! and tell them that mozzarella is played out! they should use colby jack cheese instead! tell them, Jay!"<br /><br />I can't wait until next week's MMQB when he goes to see a preseason game for what is, to the best of his knowledge, the NFL's latest expansion team: the Seattle Seahawks.<br /><br />oh, and Reilly's new column is a fucking whopper. here's how it starts:<br />"The team facing Yankees ace A.J. Burnett a few weeks back at Yankee Stadium has to go down as the oddest in baseball history.<br /><br />For one thing, it plays only at night. The players have no choice. Even one minute of sunshine can kill them."ivnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-40387952782632110322009-08-17T16:03:44.346-04:002009-08-17T16:03:44.346-04:00I know what Peter was comparing and it is still bu...I know what Peter was comparing and it is still bullshit for all the reasons you said. Jackie Robinson was a pioneer while Mike Vick is not. <br /><br />I am sure if you ask Peter that question he would say that Reid sat down with Vick after they signed him to the contract and made sure he was going to be fine to play for the team. <br /><br />As I wrote, I don't think Peter is consciously lying, I think he just believes what people tell him and if Reid says he spoke with Vick before hand he will believe him. Peter is good at being/playing naive when needed. I don't think Dungy is lying. <br /><br />Peter said at the end he doesn't think Stafford will fail but you are right, after watching Stafford throw he should be able to answer the question. If asked beforehand, he should know enough about Stafford like he does Sanchez to answer the question. That is what I think is so interesting, everyone seems so sure of Sanchez but not quite yet on Stafford.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-64634665541878075172009-08-17T14:34:42.760-04:002009-08-17T14:34:42.760-04:00He is not compairing Jackie to Vick, but he is com...He is not compairing Jackie to Vick, but he is comparing what Jackie had to go through and what Vick will have to go through (basically the hate towards them). However, its still beyond sanity to compare even that, since Jackie went through all that crap because of the color of his skin, which he had NO CHOICE of...and Vick will go through it BECAUSE of the choices he made. You can't compare apples to oranges, Vick choose his lifestyle, Jackie had no choice in the matter. I can not believe he would write that, that is a complete insult, even to mention them in the same paragraph, maybe in the same article. Wow. I can't wait for this backlash from his readers that he won't print tomorrow.<br /><br />By the way, the other day i was listening to Dan Patrick and he had Dungy on the line...he asked Dungy if Reid asked him about Vick. He said yes and blah blah blah. Then DP asked him if Reid made this decision WITHOUT actually talking to Vick, and Dungy said YES! Yet Peter said Reid had to look him in the eyes before signing him...who is telling the truth, Peter or Dungy??<br /><br />So Peter sat and watched Stafford for 90 mins, yet he can't answer the question if he is accurate or not. Put down the hot dog and coffee and actually watch so you can report on it. And then he says how obsered it is to get asked "Hey Peter, have we got the right guy with Stafford?'' in the airport in Detroit. He has followed football for who knows how long, and can't understand how someone in Detroit, where we haven't had a QB worth a damn in who knows how long, who have won 1 playoff game in a lifetime, who just finished the single worst season in professional sports, could ask that question?AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973629881511639449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-47001893026505024962009-08-17T12:45:34.878-04:002009-08-17T12:45:34.878-04:00Kent, you are exactly like MLK Jr, because you wer...Kent, you are exactly like MLK Jr, because you were not only very right on this blog the other day on an issue but now you are standing up for others. You should get a street in every major city in America named after you. <br /><br />Fred, I guess I get what Peter was saying but is a bad analogy. Jackie Robinson was fighting for civil rights and needed to be quiet so the amount of hatred he got did not get to him, while Vick needs to not make things worse for himself by doing something else stupid. <br /><br />I know they are two separate issues but pitchers are more at risk than batters. I can't even argue this point enough. I remember when Florie got hit, it was horrible. Batters obviously should be protected as well but they have something protecting their head and pitchers don't.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-9868237208295436472009-08-17T12:22:03.528-04:002009-08-17T12:22:03.528-04:00I dont think he was actually comparing Vick and Ro...I dont think he was actually comparing Vick and Robinson. I think he was saying Vick should deal with hecklers like Robinson did and turn the other cheek and ignore them. Its still a stupid thing to say though.<br /><br />Thats the worst when a pitcher gets hit with a batted ball. I hate the ones where after the ball hits them, they put their hand over where the ball hit them, and the blood just comes pouring out through the hands. Its always a scary moment.Fred Triggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980604002168881166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-15710718953236604322009-08-17T12:20:31.205-04:002009-08-17T12:20:31.205-04:00I'm trying to come up with something appropria...I'm trying to come up with something appropriate to say about PK comparing Vick to Jackie Robinson eventhoughhereallywasnthejustdid, but I'm at a loss, because that is a level of douchebaggery rarely seen. <br /><br />By the way, the other day at the Post Office, the lady at the window was a little rude, and I stood up to her.
