I could not let this go without saying, in a big way, WTF?!?!?
Peter King, Sports Illustrated's lead NFL writer, thinks that Derek Jeter is the best baseball player he has ever seen. Wow.
That is just about the dumbest thing anyone has said since Denise Richards said "I do" to Mr. Charlie Sheen. I mean, do they not proofread their stuff now at si.com? Did King, who is, in fact, a Red Sox fan (or so he claims.....), write this piece of crap in a sleepwalking episode or a drunken stupor or something? I mean, I know that the SI writers are responsible for a LOT of content each week, but hey, it's his offseason fer chris' sakes. Think, THEN type.
One could argue that Jeter is a terrific, HOF bound shortstop who has been the heart and soul of one of the Yankee franchises best title runs any day of the week. One could claim (not prove but claim) that he is the definition of "a clutch player", the very existance of which is a load of bunk. But the day you argue he is anywhere near the top of the pecking order of "best" players in the game is the day you've jumped the shark. Firejoemorgan wrote a good piece on the King article: the numbers and anyone's eyeballs simply don't lie.
The worst/funniest part? In the very same article, King predicts the Patriots getting to Super Bowl XLI. Now THAT I know that is a statement/prediction we can put in the bank.....right?

Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your post. I wanted to write a little comment to support you.
Stop by my blog : clean my pc
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for newbie blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

I usually do not drop many comments, however i did some searching and wound up here "I could not let this go without saying, in a big way, WTF?!?!?".
And I do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or does it look like a few of the remarks come across like they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing at additional online social sites, I'd like to
follow anything fresh you have to post. Could you list of all of all your
communal pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed,
or linkedin profile?
