Easterbrook is an idiot who's never written any sort of football analysis that your average belligerent Italian couldn't have called into WFAN. And in any case, this is a humor article. Don't take anything he writes seriously. And oh yeah, he's anti-semetic.
? First of all his last name is Easterbrook. Hardly a paisan. I'm sorry I just don't get how putting that in applies anywhere.
Oh man, I hope this is true. With the lifeforce of Peyton Manning coursing through our veins we cannot be defeated! (And of course without it the Colts will lose like babies getting lollipops snatched from their mouths by the Ravens next weekend - giving us the AFC championship game at Meadowlands Stadium!) {bows down to the Easterbrook effigy and begins chanting J-E-T-S, JETS! JETS! JETS!}
Wait a minute...Easterbrook's an idiot? Have you ever read his columns? He's actually quite the intellectual who has chosen to write football columns in addition to his other work. As far as his analysis, it's light years beyond the shit your boy Bill Simmons pours out when it comes to the NFL.
I would normally say it's a slow day in the sporting world, but is this guy aware Mark McGuire just admitted to taking steroids? Someone oughta tell him.

C'mon now. My farts are light years beyond the shit "The Sports Guy" puts out there. He sucks. Easterbrook is an intellect, a very accomplished writer and a smart guy. But that doesn't change the fact that he doesn't know shit about football.
