Blizzard: rk wins the title contest

Via Fanhouse, Scout.com talks about why the Vikings will be good, using the same argument What was that bang? used in his semi-satirical post about why the Vikes will be great.

One of the great things about the pro-football-reference.com blog: they find creative ways to amuse us during the offseason.

The Starting Five has a discussion about the idea of a "double standard," something I've written about before.

Matt Leinart is a left-hander, and he says "really gay-friendly things." Can I get over the fact that he's a Trojan and just root for him?

Suspension of Disbelief Articles
Clark Judge thinks Jeff Garcia fits in great in Tampa Bay.

Pete Prisco talks with Marques Colston about why he's good, and Keenan McCardell about why he'll be good if he signs with a team.

John Clayton talks about why there's optimism about J.P. Losman in Buffalo.

I chronicle these Suspension of Disbelief Articles out of love; they've got us all through a lot of summers. And they are all plausible: some are bound to be right. It's just amusing how every team has some offensive player ready to talk about why he's going to be great this season, and reporters are willing to write the pieces, and fans are willing to read these pieces, because it's the offseason.

    you should look at robert ferguson articles. a few years ago they were suspension of disbelief but now they are almost meta in their discussion of the suspension form and their self referential nature. even ferguson seems aware that his career is one long suspension of disbelief article.
