I really hate to say this, but Matt Millen is an acceptable and competent broadcaster.
He was a great broadcaster before he became GM of the Lions. It's good to see him make the transition back to television smoothly.

But were they 'deserving'?
I kid, I kid...congrats to both managers for one hell of a season.

Fair enough & all valid points. I wasn't arguing Grienke's season since he had a very, very good year considering the team that he plays for isn't that good but you guys did make a great case about Grienke deserving the Cy Young award.

I was asked what the word meant to me in accord to Zack Grienke, not Webster's definition of the word. I would've been more than happy to do that but I would much rather just answer the question that was given to me honestly.

Exactly what does the word 'deserved' mean to you bornicon?
That no one but Grienke was in contention of winning the award. Like I said, Grienke had a very good year, no one can argue that but to say that he was the only 'deserving' pitcher isn't completely accurate. Felix Hernandez came in 2nd place in the Cy Young voting and he finished the season 19-5 with a 2.49 ERA, you telling me that he didn't 'deserve' the Cy Young award?
I'm not knocking Grienke (as you may be thinking) because he's one hell of a pitcher and hopefully he will win many more Cy Young awards in the future but to say that he 'deserved' the award and that he would've been 'robbed' if he lost is a bit of a stretch but I'm not going to knock you for your opinion.

Greinke was very good this year but I wouldn't go as far as to say that he "deserved" it since there are a few other pitchers that "deserved" to win as well, IMO.
Nonetheless, congrats on a fine season sir!

Makes you wonder what took so long?
Does that mean that when Bud Adams gave the double bird at the end of the Titans/Bills game, he was giving ol' Dick the finger?

An anonymous player explained: "We decided to store our new baby's stem cells for possible future therapeutic reasons... as a footballer, if you're prone to injury it can mean the end of your career, so having your stem cells - a repair kit if you like - on hand makes sense."
Yeah, perfect sense....WTF?!!?

He obviously learned his moves here.
Great Flight of the Concords reference. I bet that was the first time that excellent show was mentioned here.

This is now the United States of the Affended
I think you meant OFFENDED but don't let a little thing like proper spelling get in the way of your ignorance when it comes to race relations and what it means to the people who's nationality is being made a mockery of.

Gruden has really improved over the course of the season...It's getting to the point where Jaws is becoming the third fiddle in that booth.
I was thinking the same thing. Last year, Jaws was looked upon as the go-to man with the information since he was teamed up with Tony Kornheiser who was more or less there for comic relief. Since Chucky has been added as Tony's replacement this year, he has done a hell of a job and is only getting more comfortable in front of the cameras and has surpassed Jaws as the MNF information man.
I don't know if they would want to replace Jaws because he's pretty damn good himself but that might be something to remember for next year.

I wonder if he has Crohn's disease..
My girl suffers from Crohn's disease but she has it under control. If treated properly, one can continue living their lives normally. If that's the case with Lesnar, he can more than likely continue with his career.

How many times did T.O. try to bait him into a public spat and he shrugged it off?
Too many to count. It's pretty easy for people to bash Romo but the guy is still having a hell of a season. He doesn't need to be on magazine covers to justify his position as an NFL QB, he is who he is and nothing is really going to change that.
