This guy had 4 games all year where he was given meaningful playing time and he delivered in every instance.
Meanwhile Mangenius insisted on playing Jamal Lewis and even Chris Jennings before Harrison.
Not that anyone needs another reason to bid adieu to Mangini, but if you do here it is.
Maybe Mangenius and McGenius in Denver should package themselver together and find a good high school football program they can screw up.
It’s another baseball talk day on WEEI. They haven’t talked about this guy Jeter enough. I hate baseball.
Brooking is f’ing moron.

Why the F not? Come playoff time it’s about facing the “good teams”. You think Indy or SD or Philly won’t want to face you?
And I add Philly because they are 14-7 since Reid took over.
And outscored them 560-351.

Yummy!!!
Coach Brad Childress said the Vikings should have done more to help T Bryant McKinnie block Panthers DE Julius Peppers on Sunday night.
___________________________________
Now he thinks they should have done more to help McKinnie, Loadholt and Hicks block Peppers? That dumbass didn’t realize they needed help when Peppers was knocking Favre on his ass every play? His best answer to that problem during the game was to bench Favre instead of sending an extra TE or FB to block Peppers. Any failure of the Vikings this year will be due to Childress. Position by position, they are probably the most talented team in the NFL. They have all the talent in the world but none of the coaching needed to win it all.
