Tuesday, November 1st, 2011Bear with me, folks. I’m having a pretty crummy day and am going to have a long night.

TMQ watch: noted.
Thursday, October 20th, 2011One of the suggestions TMQ has been making for reducing concussions in football is expanded use of “anti-concussion” helmets, as well as better fitting mouth guards.
With that in mind, we wanted to point out this article in today’s LAT:
It is fair to point out that TMQ has never suggested this equipment will totally prevent concussions. However, the article indicates that the alleged benefits may have been overstated: the Riddell Revolution helmet, which TMQ has endorsed, only reduces concussions by 2.6%, not the 31% Riddell claims.
Edited to add: Also worth noting: this NYT article about the death of Ridge Barden, mentioned in this week’s TMQ.

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011One of WCD’s favorite quotes is from the late Arthur Schlesinger Jr.:
The notion that authority is entitled to reverence per se is the most subvervise of all notions in a free society. “There is not worse heresy,” Lord Acton wrote, “than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.” Authority is entitled only to the respect it earns, and not a whit more.

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011Did TMQ spend the off season reading epic fantasy novels? (WCD wonders if Easterbrook is a big Game of Thrones
Seriously, “great heroes”? “Muscular men with square jaws”? “gleaming heroes”? Who is TMQ talking about? After the jump…

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011“Is Cam Newton already a football god?” Without even going past that headline, we’ll suggest that the answer is “No”: rather, Cam Newton is Gandalf the Grey, the NFL is Middle Earth, and the Lombardi Trophy is the One Ring.
Hey, it makes about as much sense as last week’s extended Narnia analogy.
After the jump, “yes” or “no” to TMQ’s question…

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011Last December, TMQ Watch responded to TMQ’s assertion that “Favre’s 297-game streak will never be broken”, offering Peyton Manning as an example, and stating
TMQ never contacted us to agree on terms. However, we are honorable people, and we clearly lost that bet. Accordingly, in lieu of paying TMQ $5 directly, we are making a donation to A Call To Men, an organization TMQ praised in that same column.
