Hilarious NFL writer

If you have not discovered him yet and you like the NFL I suggest checking out a columnist known as the Tuesday Morning Quarterback on NFL.com.

This guy is a real character and has a real tongue in check style but also REALLY knows football, better than many of the pin heads that actually cover it full time. He is not a sports writer but a fellow at a Washington think tank. He does the TMQ column for fun during the season.

Let me give you a quick example. He has goofy names for several NFL teams that range from the obvious The Squared Sevens (49ers, get it) to the obtuse The Potomac Drainage Basin Indigenous Persons (Redskins). Some others that are amusing to me: The Flaming Thumbtacks (Tennessee, those are weird looking helmets), Jersey A and Jersey B (Giants and Jets), Marine Mammals (Dolphins), and the one that is by far the funniest to me, The Flying Elvii (as in more than one Elvis in honor of New Englands very weird looking helmet).

He has some running features like Weird Stat of the Week, an award for the most literary "cheer babe." Obscure college football scores etc. Very enjoyable. Don't check it out unless you have a few minutes. If I print his column it is often 8-10 pages long.
