Why do I bother reading SI.com?

[Fathead]

Both Banks and King printed the "OMG the skins are going to cut half their roster and trade all their draft picks and sign guys that only got on the 3rd team in Division 3 college ball" crap in the last 2 days. Is it really that much to ask for them to at least make some effort?


If it weren't for the fact that I get bored out of my mind during 2 hour class lectures I wouldn't even read them anymore.

One thing that I have always learned is that if Peter King is not properly fed he cannot possibly say anything positive about the Redskins. The reason that I say this is that he looks as though he can never be properly fed. He said "I'm full" after eating a buffet at the Sunday Night Skins v Iggles game. He then proceeded to talk nicely about our fine franchise. Unless he says he's full, then I don't listen.

What a retard.

[Biggie]

Garbage. Pure and absolute garbage.

He is suffering from malnutrition,

the mind does weird things when hungry.

He has just been unable to get off the food line.

Is an extremely annoying voice a side affect of malnutricition.

I really want to know what these guys are doing with their time. I mean honestly, if I had 40 hours (or more) a week to devote to writing a football article, I'd at least make an attempt to know what I'm talking about. I love how these articles are posted after Coach Gibbs says 11 guys restructured deals.

that would lack of beverages, which when coupled with lack of food, equals the EXTREMELY ANNOYING personality being displayed.

Both of them just recycled the same BS that has been printed by practically every hack that covers the NFL. Does anybody do any research of their own anymore?
I will be sending them an email, when all is said and done, about this.

Copycat journalism at it's finest. At this point, I'm sure they both know about the restructures, but this is the crap that people like to read.

I think they spend more time picking their nose. They honestly have to. Or they type with their chin and miss letters and we read and illusion. Those are the only two ways.

Peter King likes to eat poop. I don't trust anyone that eats poop.

And that ain't no BS. :)

From Don Banks:

If Edgerrin James somehow winds up re-signing with the Colts -- just as Alexander and Ahman Green re-upped with their old teams -- the trend will be official: There is no real market for veteran running backs in the NFL any more. It has become the most disposable of NFL positions. You get your four to six years of production out of a back and if you don't want him any more, you go get yourself another one in the draft or via trade. If you still like your guy, you re-sign him, because there's nobody else out there willing to pay lavishly.

Can someone explain to me how James getting signed back on his team proves that franchise RBs are desposable?!?!? These teams signed their 'Backs BEFORE FA started?!?!? I would think this proves AGAINST that theory...

These two guys are idiots?!?!

I'm telling you, they type their articles with their chins and miss letters so we read the wrong thing.

[Syllable]

Sometimes they joke around with accurate facts, but they usually stick with journallism stuff.

How about Banks smart comment today about Snyder going on his annual spending spree in March? A friend of mine told me about it.

Why do I bother reading SI.com?

I don't know. When I first read the thread I thought it was SI the magazine and I thought "Emergency Toilet Paper?". But since this is SI.com and I assume laptops don't have bidet cards yet, I can't figure out why. Whatever the reason, it can't be good.
