Awesome Times

Due to a very unhealthy workload, I don't have the time to tackle Fat Summerall's entire MMQB column, but there are some nuggets in there that are just too good to pass up.

There wasn't a lot of drama over the weekend in the four playoff games, but there's a lot of good stuff out there, in and around the NFL. Settle back, tell your boss you need a few minutes, and I hope I make this column worth your while.

Sure. There's absolutely no way that that will end badly. I'm certain, almost as certain as your Super Bowl pick, that he'll understand....

Scores of you believe I'm a Pollyanna about this. I currently have a contract with Sports Illustrated, and another with NBC. If another media company came to me and offered me three times what I'm making, I wouldn't entertain the offer. I want to believe I'm like most Americans -- a contract's a contract.

Holy Shit! I don't think I've ever read anything that's more stupid than those sentences. First of all, you are NOT like most Americans because most Americans do NOT make stupid amounts of money. And that is EXACTLY WHY most Americans would rip their contracts to shreds if it meant that they could start earning three times as much. ESPECIALLY DURING SHITTY ECONOMIC TIMES!

You work for BOTH CNN and NBC. Your stupid book has been published and it's being sold. You fly more during one year than I make trips to the supermarket. YOU ARE NOT LIKE MOST AMERICANS.

1. Minnesota (13-4). Showdown at the Superdome Corral. Favre-Brees. Thirteen years ago this week, Brett Favre won his Super Bowl at the Superdome. He'll have slightly fewer fans on his side Sunday night

Luckily for Favre, he'll have the biggest fan (literally) on his side....

Coach of the Week
Rex Ryan, head coach, New York Jets.

He epitomizes brash

But does he lead the league in it????

2. I think, if I had to guess right now, I'd say the best shot for Tim Tebow on draft day is San Francisco, at number 13.

Hmmm, the last Urban Meyer-coached quarterback that San Fran drafted worked out really well. FWIW though, Alex Smith was considered the top qb of that draft. Tebow however is the punchline of a joke when it comes to quarterbacking in the NFL.

I dunno Pete. Are the 'Niners going to use him as an "athlete", at tight end, as the Wildcat quarterback?? Why on earth would they waste the 13th pick in the draft on Eric Crouch version 2.0??? Tell us. Show us why you earn crazy amounts of money.....

No proof. No solid evidence.

Awesome. Thank You. Pay the man, Sports Illustrated. HE HAS EARNED IT!

6. I think one of the sad football things about the death of Gaines Adams, the Tampa Bay-turned-Chicago defensive end who died Sunday of cardiac arrest at 26, is that he was about to be coached into his potential by Rod Marinelli, who believed in him like no other coach he'd had in the NFL.

Yes sir. The sad part of the death of a 26-year old young man is THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO BE COACHED INTO HIS POTENTIAL. Exactly Peter. Never mind his life. Never mind his family. Never mind his loved ones. The sad thing is THAT MARINELLI WON'T BE ABLE TO COACH HIM.

Go fuck a knife, Peter.
