  1. Great line from Norman Chad.

    From this week's column:

    "Plus you insist on foisting upon us “insider” Peter King, who hasn’t had a big scoop since he was at Baskin Robbins."

    This man is funny.

    He is funny. And he's right. NBC's pregame is a snoozer. They have moments of dead air when they're doing the highlights. Berman and company may have been over the top when they were doing NFL Primetime, but NBC has gone too far in the other direction. Somebody wake those guys up.

    And Peter King is way too serious. From the expression on his face you'd think he was telling us about North Korea's nuclear weapons instead of the Patriots' cover-2 defense.

    That line didn't make the WaPo's version of Couch Slouch:

    Don't know if that's edited for space or content.

    Couch Slouch is a must read. Love it.

    I wrote about this very thing in my blog last night. They are dull, stupefyingly so. The commentary didn't sync up with the highlights, there was dead air galore and the lead guy had no voice inflection.

    What happened to Norman Chad's NFL picks segment on Cowherd? I enjoyed that last year.

    Did you misplace your sense of humor in the same place you lost your common sense?

    Wow. Just noticed this thread and we talked about the item ... but it didn't have the Peter King line.
    Wonder why the Washington Post wouldn't run that?

    Forget Nick Bakay...
    I always paid attention to Mrs. Nick Bakay
