Kinda jokingly playing on Eddie helping steal Peytons Hypesman (he was a voter and said he voted for Woodson) and McNair stealing half of his MVP

I (bitterly) know the history. Him being a Buckeye made it even more glaring.

lol. Since D4H has been on ignore for years - the later. I'm a Titan fan, but try to be real with what I see, even with PM. But PM should have never shared that award.

Woodson as the only D player voted a Heisman despite numerous D players being dominant that changed the outcomes of games throughout the award's history? Wonder why. Not really.

Which local guy was it that used to work for ESPN that said they were openly promoting Woodson to make drama for the award? People always roll their eyes at UT fans when we say it was a conspiracy but it really truly was.

Went and looked it up. It is really a thing. It makes absolutely no sense, but it is really a thing.

Catbird Seat | Definition of Catbird Seat by Merriam-Webster

The basis for the expression is actually quite simple, I'm told. The phrase is said to derive from the habit of the catbird of sitting on the highest point it can find to deliver its song, thus suggesting an effortless superiority. Subscriber Dan Lufkin confirmed this in an e-mail: “If you lived in catbird country, as I do, you would instantly recognize the catbird seat as the highest point in your yard, from which a catbird — or its cousin, a mockingbird — begins loudly staking its territorial claim at first light, typically about 4:45 a.m. in the nesting season.”

Pretty sure Fowler said that but that he actually voted for Peyton

I'm not believing any of this until Catbone chimes in...

Peterson had like 9 touches total with the saints. I don't think he factored much into that. They just took their time bringing AK along in the beginning.

It absolutely factored in. It was actually 27 touches but who's counting.. While AP was taking first team reps, AK wasn't. Payton admittedly said the only thing keeping him from winning rookie of the year was him.

It’s crazy to think that Air McNair is the most successful qb Fisher has had. I sure as hell miss that guy. So fun to watch and tough as dang nails

I firmly believe Floyd Reese was responsible for his Titans success. After they fired Reese, Fisher tanked.
Click to expand...

Agree. If you listen to Reese talk about it on the radio he is very professional and a better person than I would be about it. His co-host tries to bait him into blasting Fisher all the time and Floyd will just chuckle and say “no comment.”

Not just here unfortunately. Too many things are described as the best or worst ever.

Hyperbole is literally the worst thing ever.

Or "amazing"...that one is my pet peeve. For instance, there has never been, and never will be, an order of french fries that is "amazing".
