TMQ Is the BEST

I'm a huge fan of Gregg Easterbrook's NFL column on ESPN named "Tuesday Morning Quarterback".  You can see a link in my blogroll.  I look forward to reading him every week.

Today I decided to research some of the "citations needed" links in the PFT wikipedia entry.  While doing so I came across a snippet from a TMQ column from February of this year.  It's amazing.  Read for yourself, and make him a part of your regular reading routine:

If Your Site Contains Rumors, Do Your Predictions Have to Be True? West Virginia lawyer Mike Florio publishes Profootballtalk.com, a rumor Web site that gained standing this year when it won advertising from NFL.com. Florio runs an amazing number of breaking stories; his big time-saver is that his stories don't need to be true. What about his predictions? In September 2007, Florio predicted San Diego general manager A.J. Smith was about to be fired; three months later, Smith got an $11 million contract extension. A month into the season, Florio said "the Raiders are for real" with a good chance to make the playoffs; Oakland finished 4-12. Florio forecast the Bengals, Broncos, Saints, Bears, Rams and Eagles to win their divisions; that is, six of his eight predicted division winners did not even reach the postseason. Florio said Mike Shanahan might get the University of Michigan coaching job -- "I am serious, it could happen." Florio predicted the Rams would win the NFC championship. In mid-September, Florio predicted Tom Coughlin of the Giants would be fired by "sometime in November."
