    I am older than most of you guys but I enjoyed his page 2 column and read it regularly even though I’d never seen melrose place or 90210. It was very different than any of the Peter King style stuff out there. His mailbags were fun reads. “Yep these are my readers”

    I make fun of the dumb shit he says with Rusillo or Sal but his early columns were good

    Nothing happened per se, there were just two things that stood out:

    1. he said he’s glad talking heads never sold out or went commercial immediately after saying he learned of their music because they had an auto play opener to the windows or Microsoft media player he used in college. Amanda called him on that.

    2. He said if something like Altamonte happened today the equivalent of The Rolling Stones would never play another concert again. Travis Scott did much worse and currently has the number one album in the country.

    The Page 2 days when they’d do the “here’s looking at you” where they did athlete lookalikes was top tier. Same when they did the Pick 3 fantasy game, was the only thing that would ever get me to watch shit like the Indy 500 or NHL

    The QB School on YT did a breakdown of Mac's game last week and it was unbelievable. Looked like a HS QB dropped into an NFL game with all the panic plays he was making. I don't see how he was still starting this week after that. Was the kind of performance where you look at the QB and tell him he's done for the year to get himself figured out.

    Bill blaming Lamar for the ravens loss is insane. Everyone saw the drops and knows these Steelers - Ravens games are always funky. The man just can’t help himself. So reactionary every week


    Also BS back to burying the bills trying to find a preseason W because they lost a weird London game

    Talk your shit peter. Love when former players or entrenched nfl media shit on people like Ruiz.

    publish crappy rankings and argue about them on Twitter all day, then you must pay the consequences

    It always cracks me up when these seemingly fresh out of undergrad guys like this Ruiz character and KOC get branded experts. Sure, our gerontocracy is a problem but so is calling someone with no lived experience a SME.

    “Big” now just means “tall” and as it happens, the boston celtics have none other than 7’4 (he grew an inch) kristaps porzingis, a guy, who unlike the notoriously injury racked khris middleton, can be counted on for a full season. The celts are just not scared of the bucks, they just aren’t. Who’s guarding derrick white?!?!

    My favorite part about this argument is how it's now evolved from Tua sucks and that offense will suck with him, to Tua still sucks and that offense thrives in spite of him.

    I've never seen a player that's so harmless be so polarizing. Feel like most of it steems from people being so completely wrong about him and now being unwilling to admit they were wrong.

    I love the QB school videos, I wish I had time to watch every one he does each week. I was watching the Trevor one today covering last nights game and saw the Derek Carr breakdown is 43 minutes long lol.
