His idea of football strategy is just absolutely horrible in my opinion. I think he is a Grade A moron when it comes to that.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-27169652993591027422009-04-22T19:58:00.000-04:002009-04-22T19:58:00.000-04:00Ya know, sadly, I used to enjoy his stuff till abo...Ya know, sadly, I used to enjoy his stuff till about 2 2/12 years ago. The Pats Spy gate thing and his own self righteous assholeness and indignation jsut became a huge problem. I liked that he was a guy who would call out teams for punting in dumb situations...until he started projecting it into every situation. Gregg never saw that when my team is down 34-10 with 7 minutes left, and we are 3-10 on teh season, I might as well call for a punt on the 50 as go for it on 4th and 12. What difference does it make?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086638597582394978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-73268552353407377362009-04-22T07:59:00.000-04:002009-04-22T07:59:00.000-04:00If you can't read it, imagine trying to mock it.

I seriously read it the first time and say, "there is nothing in here that is that bad," then read it again and start noticing things and finally when it comes time to write about him, I can't stop typing and eventually have to edit down what I have written...and I still miss some egregious material. <br /><br />There are parts I skip over, like anything that doesn't have to do with sports (generally), so that makes it easier.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-14289766412165197712009-04-22T06:36:00.000-04:002009-04-22T06:36:00.000-04:00Hey I think Easterbrook himself comes to your page...Hey I think Easterbrook himself comes to your page to remind you to read his article. <br /><br />I for one can not read his stuff, it's just way to long and all over the place, not to mention its not funny either.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973629881511639449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-49557852392007507772009-04-21T21:25:00.000-04:002009-04-21T21:25:00.000-04:00http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=ea...http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/090421&sportCat=nflAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-2284663737706615212009-04-21T16:20:00.000-04:002009-04-21T16:20:00.000-04:00AJ, I have made very little secret that I like Aar...AJ, I have made very little secret that I like Aaron Curry a whole lot. I got a chance to watch him live and on television and I liked what I saw a lot. Of course again, I really, really liked Charles Rogers and DeShaun Foster as well. <br /><br />Martin, the link has been updated to say ESPN denied there was going to be a change.

So you have to take my stubborness into account when you wonder why I put Stafford in there. <br /><br />In a best case scenario, I think Sanchez would fit in with the Seahawks West Coast style offense. I just would rather have a QB I think could be decent and try to teach him to run through his progressions quicker than Sanchez, who I don't think is going to be a great QB. It's admittedly bizarre logic.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-74827556015004232332009-04-21T15:23:00.000-04:002009-04-21T15:23:00.000-04:00Stafford may become a "bad ass" but no matter what...Stafford may become a "bad ass" but no matter what, he will never ever be one in Detroit. He could be the greatest QB of all time, but if he gets drafted by them he will never be that player. <br /><br />I think they take a OL or Curry, and I wouldnt mind them taking Curry either (they would have a pretty good set of LBs if they did).AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973629881511639449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-74003221691737805402009-04-21T15:10:00.000-04:002009-04-21T15:10:00.000-04:00TMQ will never have Twitter until they allow 8,000...TMQ will never have Twitter until they allow 8,000 word long tweets. So there's that to be thankful for.<br /><br />I don't like Stafford to Seattle. I'd prefer Sanchez. Sanchez is more used to that style of offense I think, where Stafford would be better suited to a less West Coast style, to play up his strengths. He just doesn't strike me as a multiple progression read type QB.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086638597582394978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-62016106849598873342009-04-21T15:00:00.000-04:002009-04-21T15:00:00.000-04:00Be all a-twitter at your own risk.

I have read it twice and found myself drifting down the column because I neither cared about nor knew what the hell he was talking about. <br /><br />I am not kidding when I say I hardly understand what he writes. From what I see, his football knowledge has not been increased in any fashion, so that is good news for me. <br /><br />I am excited about writing about TMQ again but I had forgotten how much I had to think to read it.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-577753996453782412009-04-21T14:25:00.000-04:002009-04-21T14:25:00.000-04:00I'm all a-twitter waiting for TBotB's Mock of TMQ'...I'm all a-twitter waiting for TBotB's Mock of TMQ's Mock of Mock Drafts.
