Some very, very insightful comments this week, folks. So many that we're adding a fourth to the list. Many thanks.
Glenn212 responds to our choice of Randy Moss as Comeback Player of the Year:
"Why is Randy Moss comeback player of the year?? Let's see.. for the last, say, 5 years he has been a total jerk, non hustling, cancer on teams he SIGNED lucrative contracts with and were forced to trade him because of it..There is no worthy player coming back from a severe injury that deserves "your award" Bob? Pac-man will be back soon, maybe he can replace Randy by years end."
Big Ben is Back! on moving the Steelers up in our Power Rankings:
"I opened this site with the hopes of complaining that the Steelers were too low once again. But you clearly have come to your senses. They are the 3rd best team in football and by the end of the year, the rankings will show it. Mike Tomlin for coach of the year! By the way, Joey Who?
The NFL should institute a European soccer tradition and relegate the 'Fins, Rams and Jets to the NFL World League (or whatever this year's name for that League is). Judy would be thrilled.
Charlie Weis and Eric Mangini are a combined 2-16 this year!! Who would have thought Romeo Crennel would be the best of the bunch to come out of NE?!
Eli (no, not that one) on our decision to purposely leave out a comment for the Jets in the Power Rankings and then explaining that we'd run out of synonyms for the word "awful:"
"Have you considered a thesaurus? You haven't used 'pathetic choking suckdogs' yet, right? If not, why not?"
Karl on Donovan McNabb saying he's not the only one at fault for the Eagles' problems:
"My favorite thing about McNabb is when he tells people to not compare him to Brett Favre. When they played earlier in the year, the question was asked about their similarities. McNabb made sure that everyone knew that Favre was nothing like McNabb because of Favre's interceptions. (He could have pointed out that Favre was going to or had already broken every passing record, started 16 years in a row whereas McNabb can't make it through 1 season, Favre 3 time MVP, Super Bowl Champion, etc.) So instead of complimenting Favre as the champion and leader that he is, McNabb said that interceptions are what distinguishes the two.
Fastforward to yesterday, McNabb was asked about the team's losing. Who does he compare himself to now? That's right, Brett Favre. Wow. T.O. made it easy to like McNabb, but McNabb himself makes it easy to root for anyone playing the Eagles."

As a new person to the blog, I want to say I'm honored for having one of the top comments on the blog for the week.
I couldn't have done it without Donovan. So my thank you goes out to Donovan, a man who loves credit but doesn't like the blame. (ps since I'm jumping on him, remember when the comments came out about being sad that they were winning last year with Jeff Garcia)
Karl:
We're honored to have you as part of Glauber Nation. (We'll have to come up with a less cheesy nickname than that, but we can't come up with anything else right now.)
What an honor! Comment Contest Winner!! That's going right on my resume next to, "Most Enthusiastic Dancer at the Girl Scout Daddy-Daughter Dance."
By the way, "pathetic choking suckdogs" has my vote as first half Comment of the Year! Way to go Eli(no, not that one).
I like "pathetic choking suckdogs" too! And doesn't it also apply to your gross post?
NKR:
I figured you'd want to use that line on Bills fans, no?
If I were to apply it to the gross post, it would probably be "pathetic puking suckdogs."
That is a great idea! I will stow away that comment for future use when the Bills actually do choke. They always do!
Thanks, Bob, Big Ben, NKR.
I'd like to thank all the little people, but I can't find them - they're too little.
(Note to self: Do not comment at 2AM)
Hey, where are the football picks? Do they come tomorrow?
