The more TMQ columns we observe, the more we think Gregg Easterbrook needs a good editor.

Saturday, October 8th, 2011I always respected the man, mostly for his ability to make Pete Rozelle and the rest of the No Fun League miserable. I don’t expect you’ll hear a lot of “No, that’s God; he just thinks he’s Al Davis” jokes, but if he did make it to Heaven, I hope he has a decent quarterback.

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011One of WCD’s favorite quotes is from the late Arthur Schlesinger Jr.:
The notion that authority is entitled to reverence per se is the most subvervise of all notions in a free society. “There is not worse heresy,” Lord Acton wrote, “than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.” Authority is entitled only to the respect it earns, and not a whit more.

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011“Is Cam Newton already a football god?” Without even going past that headline, we’ll suggest that the answer is “No”: rather, Cam Newton is Gandalf the Grey, the NFL is Middle Earth, and the Lombardi Trophy is the One Ring.
Hey, it makes about as much sense as last week’s extended Narnia analogy.

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011The Astros won last night. Now all they have to do is go 15-0 the rest of the season to avoid setting a new record, and .200 to avoid losing 110 games. I’m still pretty confident that they’ll hit 100 losses, but not 110.

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011So we’ve reached the last TMQ of the interregnum. What pressing questions were you hoping TMQ would answer? “What does Bin Laden’s death mean for U.S./Pakistan relations?” “Trump: serious contender or joke?” Nope…

Friday, April 29th, 2011WCD got into it a bit last week with Lawrence over the merits of the NFL draft. It is our position that the draft just really isn’t that important to NFL teams. We do not dismiss the draft totally; a team may get lucky and pick up, say, an Earl Campbell. But teams are just as likely to get lucky and pick up, say, a JaMarcus Russell. Our belief is that good coaching, good team building, and good player selection (remember, players don’t have to come from the draft; undrafted unwanted free agents that do surprisingly well are an ongoing TMQ trope) are more important than draft choices.
With that introduction out of the way, let’s jump into TMQ’s annual “mock the mock drafts” column.
