Sounds like JC listened to his coaches about how to handle the media calls for this week’s game. Good for him.

I guess a potentially rusty Carson Palmer can only be a good thing come September 13.

I’m not exactly impartial because I think he’s a terrible journalist who often gets his facts wrong and falls for trendy thinking. Also, the book about how Charlemagne never had a cell phone, so we should stop worrying about poverty…. that was classy. Anyway, that last TMQ is a prime example of the general disease of beltway journalists: cast a pox upon everything in sight, then clap yourself on the back for being The Last Honest Man in America.

For the last two years, he’s been beating up on Shanahan and Cutler. Shouldn’t have pulled the plug on Plummer he says. He has in fact been harsher on Shanny than anyone. Now that they’re gone, they’re sainted, and it’s time for the Smartest Guy in the Room to cut the new guys down to size. His history of anti-Semitism and and disregard for “facts” in journalism is just the cherry on the sundae.

Anyway, ’morning, and thanks as always NYC.

I love this quote from Orton that he gave in an interview with AP today.

Someone asked who (between Orton and Cutler) will throw more touchdowns, and he fired back, "I don’t really care."

Why not?

"I don’t think touchdown passes necessarily equals wins."

I’m curious. When the season gets into full swing, are you going to fill two pages with article links? Or will you have to filter things down. You are too good to us.

Really… the sheer volume of articles is great to see and start with in the morning.

I’m constantly amazed at how these jock sniffers from the MSM manage to always make mountains out of mole hills. I don’t know who’s worse Clayton, Dukes, or Glazer. Is Clayton so worried that Shefter make take over his job, which is probably not a bad idea, that he inflates stuff to create drama?

Hillis returning kicks, i would hate to be the one he is running at in full speed. LOL. Clayton is a moron, I hope scheffer takes his job, but im sure espn will ruin him also

It’s great to hear from Floyd Little regarding his nomination for the Hall. My favorite line in that article is:

“It’s the 44th Super Bowl,” he said. “An African-American just became our 44th president. I wore No. 44. I just feel it’s my time.”

It is well past your time Floyd, but the single greatest injustice of the Hall of Fame is about to be rectified. #44 to the Hall!

Adam Schefter on twitter this morning:

Vick debut, Cutler back to Denver, Favre on MNF, Cowboys scoreboard – has to be one of most significant preseason weekends in NFL history.
