It was an opinion piece that offered a bunch of unsupported assertions. It was not rooted in solid analysis. The weight of Nick Buoniconti in his playing days that I cited is more evidence than Kiszla gave in his entire hit piece on the Patriots. I'm sorry, I just don't see how it's "excellent" other than tossing a lot of red meat out there for people who hate the Patriots. Ooh, he said Nitschke would laugh at the Patriots! Oh no, he said the Pats play wimpy football! Oh lordy lordy, he said the 1998 Broncos were better! How shall the Patriots Republic survive his unkind words? As a glass of Haterade it's not even very satisfying -- I've seen much better and more well-supported hit pieces written about the Pats. Kiszla makes Gregg Easterbrook's whiny hysterics look like the second coming of David Halberstam.

The fact that you would cite that piece as "excellent" article, when it's just a puff piece of 600 words that he could have tossed off while sitting on the toilet, confirms my opinion of your intelligence, and it's not a very high one. It's no use arguing with the irretrievably stupid, so I'll leave you to your old Nitschke fantasies while you weep and whine about what a terrible travesty the Patriots have inflicted upon your fragile, put-upon psyche.

Ha! Despite being caught red-handed cheating at the beginning of the season, Bill Belichick won AP's Coach of the Year award. He got 29 of 50 first-place votes. Mike McCarthy of Green Bay came in second with 14 votes. Choke on a scabby cock while you whine about "class", haters.

Man, Bill Simmons was right -- it is a lot more engaging to be a fan when your team is so reviled by so many morons. I'm more alive in my fanhood than I ever have been.

I've never been enough of a tool to want to join Mensa or to brag about it if I had joined it. Congratulations, though. In the vast sweep of moronic arguments posted on the Internet by desperate mouthbreathers, I've never had someone try to throw their Mensa membership in my face. Hate to break it to you, but no one has taken that organization seriously or been impressed by its invocation in about twenty years. Or, in any case, that's the last time I was impressed by the idea of Mensa -- when I was ten years old.

You've thrown out Nazi comparisons twice and you called me a "menial retard" -- which makes me think that at this point you're just flogging the thesaurus for words to throw at me. Who uses "menial" in an insult? I'm amused enough to want to see how low you can sink yourself in trying to keep up with a classless Nazi Pats fan.

Keep trying, though. Some day, someone might take you seriously again instead of just laughing.

Brady doesn't deserve the MVP award because he finally put up Peyton Manning-like numbers in a year when he had an offensive cast comparable to Manning's? He sets a slew of single-season major quarterbacking records against high-quality opposition (they beat six playoff teams in the regular season, remember) who all knew that the pass was coming, beat every kind of kitchen-sink defense thrown at him... What else can he prove to you?

Favre's had a great year too, and would have been the front runner for an MVP if not for Brady's historical year. But let's not pretend that Favre doesn't benefit more from media ball-washing than any other athlete in the NFL.

Just remember it could have been Favre slinging bombs to Moss all year, but your team didn't think it was worth the risk to pony up a 4th round draft pick last year. I know you're really sore about those dirty dirty cheaters not getting enough of a public pillorying that you think they so rightfully deserve, but don't let your hate start eating more brain cells than it's already devoured.

You remind me of the foolish poster who once said that a wide receiver is as useful to a team as a punter. Have you actually watched Brady this year? He's functioning at a higher level than any QB did in the league this year. He only threw 8 picks, for heaven's sake! Peyton Manning threw ten picks on a lot fewer pass attempts in his record-setting 2004 year. I don't know if you realize this, but playing QB in the NFL is hard. It ain't all just Brett Favre "having fun out there" and chucking the ball around.

If you want to make a case for a QB who hucks the ball in the air and hopes something good happens, Favre's your guy. The Packers, after all, had the receivers with the most yards-after-catch of any team this year. Now, if I were to be as unkind to Favre as you are to Brady, I'd just say that it's Favre being made to look great by a group of overachieving wide recievers. After all, this is the same Brett Favre who threw 18 picks last year and 29 the year before. So what's the secret for Brett's resurgence? Some HGH, maybe? I mean, he's a known pill-popper right?

Look, the MVP award is rarely for the player who made the most difference for his team. If that were the case, Shaun Alexander wouldn't have won it in 2005 for being a goal-line hog. In reality, it's given to the player who's had the most impressive season. You can't argue with the records Brady has been setting. And to harp about Brady tangentially in a thread where you've been complaining so much about the darn Patriots makes you look like, yes, a foolish Internet crank. Please don't whip out your Mensa membership on me.
