For those of you who care, TMQ is back where he belongs on ESPN.com. I've never been a regular visitor to NFL.com, so I haven't read him in a while. His first one back is pretty good.

Didn't Easterbrook have 37 more years of wandering in the desert left?

TMQ will revolutionize the way I don't read ESPN anymore.

You know, I used to love TMQ. But he wears thin very quickly. Don't blitz, ok, I get it already. And so on. Renaming the teams was funny the first time, but the continuous use is just downright irritating. I saw he was back today and made a conscious decision to pass on reading it.

Gramatica speaks the truth. TMQ's schtick is very, very tired.

I mean, at least the Sports Guy figured out that he needed to lay off the Karate Kid metaphors for a while.

If he makes his first 5 kicks, I may have to change to Gramaticaforvicepresident -- we all know that's the most powerful position, anyways.

Yeah yeah, you're just bitter because of his clear disdain for Daniel Snyder and the Redskins. His column is 1/4 as annoying as any other ESPN writer on any given day. But I usually don't read him unless it's during the season... he can be long-winded.

I only want to read TMQ for the Obscure Score of the Week. I'm hoping that he puts up the score of the school where my wife teaches. Not bloody likely.

TMQ is really borderline unreadable.

The switch means I can no longer read it at work, which likely means I will not be reading it. NFL.com offered a text only version, where as ESPN does not. I just don't think the pictures would make my boss happy when viewed by 9 year old boys.

Your company hires 9-year-old boys?

Going back to ESPN means I'll probably stop reading him which is weird because I originally stopped reading ESPN when they canned him the first time. Now its just unbearable because of the crap (even with NoScript and AdBlock it still sucks ass IMO).

Same here. Life is ironic.

Hardly. If I stopped reading everything written by anyone in the media who hated Danny Snyder and/or the Redskins, I wouldn't have anything to read at all.

i agree with everyone who said he wears thin quickly

i mostly wanted to talk about how idiotic his whole 'don't blitz' campaign is. long story short, shut up with that already, you idiot

I both this, and that he's unbearable to be true.

I did find the draft chart discussion of the 1.1 pick being worth 1500 7th rounders funny, but had to wade through too much more-intellectual-than-thou crap to get there.
