I can see the Jackson argument now. And i think you didnt add any Skins because they all suck aside from Chris Cooley who is the freaking man.

I guess I did a bad job explaining this, so let me say it again: too much hype doesn’t mean a player is bad, it means he has too much hype for how good he is. That makes Steven Jackson the perfect person for this team. The guy wrote on his own blog that he would get 2,500 total yards this year. He wrote it on his BLOG!!!!! I will take arguments for or against some guys on this team, but you can’t argue against Jackson.
If I promised you the five best columns you ever read in your life in the next five days, and then got hurt and wrote two columns that you liked, wouldn’t you say I overhyped myself - even though I put a good product out there?
And, Fan, at least I didn’t put any ‘Skins on there. I thought you’d appreciate that.

I dis-agree with your Shockey comments based soley on the fact that we are supposed to ignore his stats because he is the number two option. Ummm, so what does that say about Gates and Gonzalez who are clearly the number one options in their passing games and KII, who is also the number two option now that Edwards has shown up. And PLEASE don’t tell me you think Barber is overhyped. That would make me think less of you Mike. And you think Steven Jackson is over-hyped? Come on man. The man had 1500 yards rushing and 90 catches last year for a RB. I am concerned after reading this.

The last statement of my comments toward AHB should read as follows: Thanks for noting that I know the Tribe well, AHB, I like to think I do. Sorry for the broken sentences.

As for Mike Vick, I didn’t know what to do with him because he’s in jail and therefore all the hype around is ability is gone for now, though he was, until now, one of the most over-hyped players of all time. Unlike Pac-Man, though, he can’t even apologize his way back onto the field to underperform.

No, no, I agree with AHB. Anyone who roots for Notre Dame knows a lot about hype without productivity. And how can you disagree with a lot of this? Compare the number of commercials per person on this list with the number of championships/MVPs won…

Thanks for noting that I know the Tribe well, though AHB. I like to think I do.

Yea, Mike. If anyone knows about being all-hype, it’s Tim Foor.

Wow Mike, a lot of this I really don’t agree with.

I’ll just leave it at that. Stick to the Tribe, it’s about all you really know well.
