I don't get a good vibe about the Eagles. If you pin me down, it has something to do with Terrell Owens, but it's more than that. 5. Kansas City's overrated. Dallas is underrated (even with likely backup quarterback Tony Romo sits to pee being one snap away from playing for 40-year-old Vinny Testaverde, because Romo sits to pee may have had the best preseason of any Cowboy), as is Cleveland. Pittsburgh will be better than everyone thinks. 7. Bad year for New Jersey football and Bay Area football. Jets, Giants, Niners, Raiders ... no more than one of them will be over .500. 8. MVP: Jake Plummer. 9. Coach of the Year: Mike Holmgren. 10. Rookies of the Year: Detroit RB Kevin Jones (offense), Arizona DL Darnell Dockett (defense). 8. I think you might not have heard of two guys who were the best backs I saw in this preseason: Pittsburgh's Verron Haynes and Dallas' ReShard Lee. But they should both get real playing time starting this week. I still think Jerome Bettis should take the first carry for the Steelers, not Duce Staley. 9. I think Eddie George has had better preseasons. Minus a 23-yard run he had against Oakland, George rushed 23 times for 28 yards. But because Julius Jones is in the Cowboys' doghouse -- he asked out of the Tennessee preseason game after feeling winded last Monday -- George is still vital to this team. If I were Bill Parcells, I'd throw the irrepressible Lee in there for six or eight touches Sunday against Minnesota. 10. I think it looks more and more like the Vikings have gotten a huge break regarding the probable suspension of running back Onterrio Smith for four games. Looks like his appeal won't be adjudicated until after the first game. Which means the Vikings' backfield will have at least one stud (with Michael Bennett doubtful) to face one of the best run defenses, Dallas', in game one.

DieselPwr44 Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 8. MVP: Jake Plummer. This statement alone is reason enough to discard the rest of the article. Can you really give any credence to any of his rankings knowing that this man thinks Plummer will be MVP of the league?? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjinhan Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 umm i think i figured it out... he will make as many weird out of the blue predictions... archieve it... and it one of them do somehow turns out to be correct... he will make a feature article about how great he is and how only he can see things for what they truely are...

Drex Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I have a hard time believing Plummer is going to have an MVP season when he has lost the services of perhaps his two best weapons on offense, Portis and Sharpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I'm sorry but there is not one mention of King's daughter's softball team here. This leads me to believe that it's not an authentic Peter King article and that hobbs made this story up all by himself. Nice try hobbs.........

Art Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 King is hardly a respected professional. His thoughts on the division are fine though. It's about time some one went out on a limb and picked the Cowboys since everyone else has been picking Washington and the Eagles . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Peter King is just trying to go against the grain. He is the only one I've seen that predicts the Cowboys to win the division. Jake Plummer MVP? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 This idiot picks the broncos to win the SB, with Jake Plummer the MVP and Dallas to go to the NFC championship game! :laugh: And you actually believe him? What kind of idiot would pick Plummer to be the best at anything after about 6 straight bad seasons? "7. Bad year for New Jersey football and Bay Area football. Jets, Giants, Niners, Raiders ... no more than one of them will be over .500.'" Bold prediction since none of them were above .500 last year. Here's my bold prediction: The Chargers miss the Playoffs again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdarugar Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Isn't this the same Peter King who picked the Giants to winthe NFC East last off-season and recently said Sean Taylor did not want to be a Redskin, then days later wrote an appology for being such a moron. King is a douche and you probly are one too. Your talking about how everyone is a homer. Your a homer and your posting this homer bull****. Your a hypocrite. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Easy fdarugar. I understand they can be annyoing, but let's tone it down just little okay? We're supposed to be better than that around here, ( even if is homer bull**** ). Let's not let this get too far out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of strange predictions. There is no way that dullass will beat out the iggles. King struggles with reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
