I'd also probably list Eli.

tk13 · 10-10-2004, 07:56 PM

Another story that was really overblown was the coming of Eli.

**Rain Man** · 10-10-2004, 07:57 PM

Eli who?

VonneMarie · 10-10-2004, 07:58 PM

The freaking Patriots.

VonneMarie · 10-10-2004, 07:59 PM

I'd vote for the freaking Patriots and that stupid winning streak.

I may already be on record with my opinion on this.

Steve McNair

Although the 1000 yard Donkey RB is a close second. Wonder if Barry Griffin will fulfill the prophecy?

memyselfI · 10-10-2004, 08:04 PM

Kerry Collins is an upgrade.

Miles · 10-10-2004, 08:14 PM

Vinny starting and being able to make it through the season i high up there too.

The Michael Vick orgy on ESPN every week.

I would have said the Shockey orgy at this time last year, but it seems that the media has clued themselves into the fact that he's not that great

The whole Rich Scanlon thing was a bit overdone.

10-10-2004, 08:54 PM

I sure am glad you made this a multiple errr all-choice poll.

Yeah Vick was my first choice. They have hyped him less as the season goes on since he is sucking so bad. The worst was that ESPN sunday night game last season when he came back from injury.
