I like the TMQ, but think that--even more than Simmons--he would profit from an editor.

He could mean "thing" to be referring to "football gods", despite the obvious usage error. Are you willing to believe that the NFL coach's syntax is perfect to begin with?

On so many occasions, I have found him to be completely wrong factually. Doesn't stop him from having a strong opinion on the subject though.

Easterbrook's willingness to comment on films he hasn't screened, games he hasn't seen, and books he hasn't read is a thing of legend. TMQ is penitential reading at its finest.
