    "TGG is a great site to plagiarize." Mike Florio 2009

    I almost spit out my Red Bull when I saw that he ripped off SundayJack's Fantasy Turd League idea. What a fucking fraud.

    Not to suggest that Cimini isn't a douche, but Mike Florio wrote this "article."

    A number of years ago, Sundayjack came up with the idea of a fantasy league involving players arrests, points awarded for player suspension, off the field type stuff. About half a season of football later, this appeared on Florio's bullshit site:

    I'm not giving Florio credit for the Fantasy Turd idea, but don't you think it's a little silly to suggest that SundayJack was the only person to think that?

    Of course it's possible that Florio could have completely ripped off the concept from some other site, or some other person, but I searched high and low for anything like it and only saw it here. Maybe one of Florio's friends saw it on the site and claimed it as his own, only to be ripped off by his buddy Florio. That's possible.

    I find it amazingly silly to suggest that Mike Florio has ever had an original idea enter his pistachio-sized cortex, though.

    Hmmmm. I think they're both from Boston... Let me print out a page of PFT, wipe my ass with it, and feed it into the Bat Computer.

    The very fact Florio wrote this and some unnamed douche says he isn't means that Ryan is great for the Jets and the NFL.

    I'm just glad I had a witness on that one. Should have copyrighted the friggin thing.

    On the point of the thread, would it be better if he were acting like a pissy little kid and storming off the field angry at the world, refusing to shake hands with the opponent? Or maybe they'd prefer he tell stories about dogs chasing cars, horses in Central Park, and chasing chickens? Perhaps he should scream from the podium about some team being who we thought they were, or some other moronic tirade. Somehow Rexy crossed a line of good taste in NFL coaching?! AYFKM?!

    Part of the problem with the NFL is also its allure - there's so much time between real games that we end up blowing small things into big things just to create a new Peter King column or a new PFT post.

    Plus, I sent a copy of the thread to him. It wasn't even a difficult cut and paste job.

    I think the main problem is that the average reader of NFL columnist garbage prefers to read the surface crap like Rex Ryan's presser burn of the week, rather than demanding beat writers and shitbags like Florio actually try to break down the game of football and educate their reader. It's tabloid crap.

    It's also why I enjoy the hell out of sites like Football Outsiders, and hope those sites end up edging out that tabloid crap someday as preferred Monday morning reading material.

    So, you're not sitting on the edge of your chair each Monday morning, waiting to find out which Starbucks Peter King ordered his latest grande, double-caff, skim, half-foam, double-cup, lite-urine, vanilla chai?

    As the saying goes, the longer it takes you to order your morning coffee, the bigger the asshole you are.

    Penis King - I have never seen a sports writer more suited to be a food columnist.

    A great college basketball coach (don't remember the name): "When I die I want to be buried upside down, so all my doubters can kiss my ass"
    That's what I want from the coach of my team!

    Pretty sure that was Bob Knight when he was at Indiana.
