    Deadspin. Real tired of Deadspin. You say that word to 100 people, 97 are clueless.

    A shit ton of old NFL Today’s are on Youtube.

    They’re fascinating to watch and among the more fascinating things that casual fans didn’t pick up on at the time? Jimmy The Greek was not exactly Sam Rothstein (Robert DeNiro’s character from Casino) when it came to being on-point with his picks. Many of his takes are painful when you know what happened after the fact.

    But he had personality and it went a long way. Later, he had racism, and it didn’t take him a long way.

    That’s the biggest problem with media prognostications, the track record of the expert. Not the schmoes sitting around the table picking a game and not Lee Corso’s schtick but the guys who are touted as ‘experts’
    What’s Mel Kiper’s record on his board?

    Rams won, 10-0. Definitely had a QB advantage, as the Falcons managed just 3 net yards of passing.

    I was just a little kid in the 70s but we watched him every week, and we knew he was full of shit back then.
    I'd peg his winning percentage as about, oh 50%.

    Holy shit.
    I live in LA. I can't tell you the last time there was a 67 degree in September. September is like the hottest month of the year. We're fucked, global warming-wise

    “But Brent ... don’t overlook Jack Thompson and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! The Throwin’ Samoan is ready to come out smokin’ against a Chicago Bears defense I think be might be overrated.”

    Even before the racism thing, he was becoming a caricature.
