OT - Peter King - "I love Brett"

[shatch62]

I like Peter King 99% of the time but he has to stop the Brett Farve love fest. Earlier this year he said Brett was comeback player of the year (NFL Midseason All-Pro Team, Awards - Peter King - SI.com) even though Farve played all 16 games and was voted to the Pro Bowl. Not really sure what Brett was coming back "from" but WTF do I know.

This week he writes Tony Romo carries Cowboys; Panthers stun Vikings; more - Peter King - SI.com

The Vikings loss to the Panthers last night was a "debacle" but it was "Not Brett Favre's fault."

Ok. Now I did't see the game so I'll take King at his word. According to King:
Panthers DE "Julius Peppers was Deacon Jones and Lawrence Taylor rolled into one dominant force for four quarters."

Also "Peppers' dominance got [OT] Bryant McKinnie yanked from the game. (When's the last time you saw a top-10 left tackle get pulled for performance, not being hurt? Ever? I don't recall it.) It forced Brad Childress to put pedestrian Artis Hicks at left tackle, and to keep a back in to chip on Peppers when the game got desperate and the Vikings fell behind in the second half."

So let's say all this is true. How can a QB be good if the pass rusher is Deacon Jones and Lawrence Taylor rolled into one. NOT POSSIBLE. My confusion comes into play when he lists his defesive player of the week. Peppers right? WRONG, it was DeMarcus Ware. The Saints game did I see and Ware was beast but if Peppers played like TWO NFL legends and got a top OT pulled shouldn't he have been, I don't know the D player of the week? I'm just saying. It gets better. The Goat of the Week was Saints OT Jermon Bushrod

"There haven't been many games played by left tackles in 2009 worse than the one Bushrod threw out on the floor of the Superdome."

Huh? I thought McKinnie who got pulled becasue he was getting Farve killed was worse. Anyone help me on this? Bueller? Bueller? Frye? Frye?

Farve was and still is a legend but I think it is ok to say it like it. He has been average to bad the last couple of weeks. Peter, say it with me..."Brett Farve is not a GOD"

King and Favre need to get a room or something. Just do it and get it over with.

Here's the real question, which player does the stooge otherwise known as the guy who writes about coffee on Monday's on CNNSI have a bigger bulge in his Levis over, Favre or Manning?

It's a very very tough call. Slight edge to Favre but Petey loves him some Manning family.

In past year's I would have said Favre but Peter's "Manning for MVP" campaign he has been pushing by saying ridiculous things like Manning is doing it without the great weapons of other top QBs like Brees, Rivers and Brady (I guess the best pass catching TE in football and a top 5 WR are apparently not great weapons in Peter's mind) probably makes Peyton the top guy on the list now.

Favre is cool in my book, its not his fault the media is like a bunch of school girls and ppl eat it the **** up like vultures.

If I can do 1/2 of what he does at his age, I will be one happy sob.

I don't hate him for 96, that was all D.Howard so w/e.

Now now now, the sexual tension is what makes this show.

Throw Madden in too it could be a three some. Although i don't know if theres enough Brett to go around with those two fat guys.
