    I am getting so sick of this guy.

    November 4 (after Bills game) - We're #16 - The Packers are #7. I think they were 4-4 at that point?

    November 11 (after Rams game) - We're still #16! WTF

    http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ms-32questions111108&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

    Then these three articles:

    Favre move desperate one for Mangini, Jets August 7, 2008
    Dealing for QB Brett Favre looks good, but the move might not be enough to recreate the magic of '06.

    Favre pushed McCarthy to boiling point August 6, 2008
    Brett Favre's Green Bay run essentially ended when Mike McCarthy felt he could take no more of the antics.

    Favre to blame for nasty divorce August 5, 2008
    While Brett Favre might be the preferred choice at QB, don't point the finger at Aaron Rodgers for this mess.

    Like I understand that the media is full of douches. But shouldn't there be some kind of objective thought process. Shouldn't someone at Yahoo be sitting there and telling him to be objective, at least somewhat. He blames the entire saga on Favre, calls the Jets desperate, etc. Then ranks the 4-4 Packers at NUMBER SIX. And then puts the Jets at #16 (after they beat the Bills on the road).

    I know you can't stress about the media because most are useless but I just clicked on his article today to see if the Jets moved up after the Rams game and we're still #16. What a bitch. I bet we're #15 after this week.

    Great find. This guy sounds like he has a personal vendetta against Favre.

    I e-mailed the douche to see what he says about the Jets rankings. I'll post his reply IF he replies.

    Why are most of his Power Rankings comments in the form of a question?

    That's how he does his rankings, by asking 32 questions, one for each team.

    What I find silly is that the jets won three straight at that point, and didn't budge. Because the patriots are rated JUST ABOVE the jets, this week most likely means they swap spots.

    Just silly.

    Silver is self-serving. Worst than most of the writers out there.

    Didn't Sports Illustrated get rid of him because of his douche bagness?

    His lyric changing BS is embarrassing. I would call him and tell him to delete my number from his phone if I read that.

    I haven't read anything from him in a long time. I don't see myself returning to read his articles.

    No, it was luck. The Patriots were injured and we could only win by 3 in OT? I expect our ranking to drop a few notches. Patriots' ranking will go up due to their great effort.
