My top 32 QB's (p.s. Peter King is a retard)
Note - players without actual game experience aren't eligible (palmer, manning, rivers, etc.)

1. Manning
2. (tie) Favre and McNair
4. McNabb (three straight NFC championships make him belong here, 3 wins in those games and he would be #1
5. Vick (will be #1 within 3 years)
6. Brady (P.O.S. product of system)
7. Plummer (great natural QB, makes too many mistakes)
8. Pennington (would be higher if healthy last year)
9. Green (i could get 3,000 yards with Tony, Priest and that O-line)
10. Hasselbeck (could be top 5 after this season)
11. Culpepper (needs to be more consistent)
12. Gannon (only 1 year removed from MVP season)
13. Kitna (and he won't even be starting)
14. Bledsoe (will return to old form with Mularkey)
15. Johnson (Gruden makes him a lot better than he really is)
16. Carr (will eventually be a top 5 talent)
17. Brooks (see Culpepper)
18. Delhomme (lets see him do it for more than one season)
19. Garcia (#11??? you gotta be kidding)
20. Collins (will replace Gannon after this season)
21. Leftwich (kid is gonna be NASTY)
22. Bulger (i just don't see it)
23. Brunell (may not even be the best qb on his team.....)
24. Ramsey (talk about stunting someones development)
25. Harrington (needs to show that he can step it up this year, he has the weapons)
26. Fiedler (if you combined his heart, and Jeff Georges talent, you would have a top 5 player)
27. Maddox (and this is overated)
28. Warner (what happened???, was top 3, only 2 years ago)
29. Grossman (i see a lot of potential in him)
30. McCown (Denny seems to believe in him)
31. Carter (sad what happened in Dalls with him)
32. Boller (showed me zero last year)

That could be an entire post unto itself. Awesome comment.

Manning is clearly No. 1. And it would be quite interesting to see how GMs would decide on Brady vs. McNabb. Two very different QBs. I think this is a big year for McNabb's rep, and he doesn't get quite get the recognition he deserves for leading a team to three straight conference title games. Then again, I think he's played like crap in every one.

I always thought it was "skin the wind". Funny how alcohol and sound direction can alter a phrase....

And Paul? Let the girls pick the Dream Team. Hefner is out, Sean Connery is in. Baio isn't even a third stringer, btw.

I have always found race-walking to be the stupidest 'sport' on the go - racing should be about travelling a distance as fast as possible. But as long as racewalking is in, then they should broaden track to include:
The 50 metre hop
The 200 metre backwards run
400m while pretending to be a chicken
And so forth

Same goes for the breast stroke - they should add
100m dogpaddle
50m running on the bottom of the pool floor

As for the relay, how about the cumulative 4x100m relay, where rather than passing a baton, each successive runner jumps on the back of the previous runner. A solid team would consist (in order) of Minime as lead-off, hopping on the back of Sherman Hemsley who takes it down the back stretch, who both jump on the back of tough guy Sly Stallone running the bend, and all three dive onto The Rock who brings home the gold.

I don't know why but I'm still laughing at 50m Running on the Bottom of the Pool.

1) Beer Pong
2) Wiffle Ball
3) Bocce
4) Darts
5) Any other sports where drinking and smoking are encouraged.

How bout a contest for free t-shirts. Oh Shit - you're already doing that. XL please. Instead of medals they could get free t-shirts. If you don't win it's ok cause you still get free t-shirts. Did I mention the free t-shirts given out to everyone in attendance?

I say bring on the beer pong as an Olympic sport. Or maybe a shot taking contest. I'm all for the Alcoholic Olympics.

you're right, punt returns in madden are so ridiculous this year. unless you've got a clean 15 yard cushion -- which never happens -- you have to fair catch every time. in my franchise, marcus trufant has just seven returns through 12 games - including five fumbles and one TD. so i guess the only solution is... uh, just don't get tackled.

as for king's QB rankings...

-bulger shouldn't even be in the top 20. he's obviously a product of the martz system, and throws way too many picks. i could put up the numbers he does in that offense. on any other team, he's a practice squad player.

-i'll never understand the jake plummer hype. being a competitive person doesn't make you a great quarterback. by the end of the year, i could see king reversing plummer and hasselbeck's positions on that list. look at matt's great numbers from last year, then imagine what they would have been like if his receivers didn't lead the league in drops. as long as he's not guaranteeing anything in favre's house, he's money.

-people seem really quick to forget the seasons gannon and pennington had just two years ago. gannon's near the end, but he's still one of the most accurate QBs in the league. and before he got hurt last year, fantasy owners were drooling over pennington's unbelievable efficiency. it's such an "out of sight, out of mind" league.

-will dennis green have josh mccown on this list by season's end? injuries to shipp and boldin definitely hurt his chances, but i can't help but think about the confidence he put in the arms he had in minnesota - in the face of heavy criticism. he resurrected cunningham's career overnight by turning him into a pocket passer, threw culpepper to the wolves and ended up with a pro bowler, gave brad johnson his chance to breakthrough, and even jeff george put up some monster numbers under him. the guy knows how to develop QBs, and he's showing the same confidence in mccown that he did in those other guys.

-john kitna should be starting somewhere in the nfl. period.

Other olympic events:

Javelin catching: If this would not get ratings and fill the stands I don't know what would.

100 meter rat relay: I was in the city seeing Hairspray a couple of weeks ago and we saw three rats that could only be termed as gargantuan. I am sure we would scare the crap out of the rodentia of the rest of the world.

An eating contest featuring the female gymnasts. You know those girls would explode if we forced them to eat a hot dog.

No1ofConsequence

I think women's gymnastics should add the stripper pole and remove the floor exercise for the 2008 games.

I'm all for keepin it real, but Fake boobs are nice too.

King Tut, he's my favorite honky, funky Tut.

I haven't played the new Madden yet (I know, sick) but sometimes (at band camp) on a good return just before getting hit, I'd pussy out and hit the dive/slide button just so as not to fumble.

HOW ABOUT THE 2 HOUR BREAST STROKE IN MY BED?
OR CHESS? WHERE THE HELL IS BOBBY FISHER..IS HE STILL IN SOME KOREAN ASYLUM?

HOME RUN DERBY SPONSORED BY BALCO

HAVE A CONTEST CALLED "WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA SANDIEGO" IM SURE IF WE GAVE OUT PRIZES THIS WHOLE THING WOULD BE OVER WITH A LOT QUICKER.

WE COULD HAVE "MAGIC THE GATHERING" GAMES BECAUSE NERDS NEED TO REPRESENT. (I AM KNOW WAY RELATING TO THE NERDS. BUT I DO FEEL THEY NEED A SHOT.)

UMMM.....LIB HIGH FOOTBALL RULES!! (BILLY MADISON)

Re QBs:
Donovan should be no lower than #2, but I'm an Eagles fan. Yes, he performed poorly in some NFC Championship games, but in one, he was coming off a broken leg and in the Carolina game, he was injured early and couldn't finish the game. This will be his year, hopefully.

Re Olympic Sports:
No Limit Texas Hold 'Em. Of course, you don't really need it when you already have the WSOP.

Frolf (or, as the pros call it, Disc Golf). I play it and it's almost as frustrating as real golf, just a lot cheaper!

I agree that McNabb doesn't get the recognition that he deserves, and yes he has played like shit (really I should say inconsistent) even though getting the Eagles to 3 straight conference titles. He was on fire at training camp, and hopefully having T.O. on the team will get us to the big dance this year.

I am all for the Alcohol Olympics. I would come out a gold medalist. Beer pong is my game. Also doing beer bongs while doing a handstand (once it hits the lips it tastes so good). The Women's teams would have to wear really tight clothing and short skirts (bras and panties optional).

I'd like to see Fear Factor eating stunts added to the events. Can you imagine what some of the third world countries would do in something like that?
I've watched Brunell play for the Jags here at home and can tell you his stats don't tell the whole story. He has to be the most over-rated QB since Leaf.

Looks like me, Livia and Cass are gonna play a drinking game. First one to puke loses.

Anyone up for a game of nekkid Twister?

Naked twister?
I am more of a Monopoly man myself, but I guess I can sacrifice.

QB's: I think Ryan Leaf should be somewhere on that list. Is he still playing?
Maybe Neil O'Donnell?
Maybe my SUped up QB that I made on Madden. 400lbs and he can run a 4, 40. HA!!

Sign me up for the drinking game. I'm thinking I'll be the first one out since, and Paul can verify this one, I'm not good doing shots.

You're good at doing them. Not so good at surviving them.

I think that drinking games could be difficult against such drunkard nations as Russia, Ireland, and Germany. At least we'd take out people like Syria and Lebanon where alcohol is illegal.

I'd personally like to see couch potatoing. Whoever sits on the couch and eats the most cheetos and watches the most infomercials at 4 in the morning wins.

Hahaha very good point Paul. I still get made fun of for walking around NYC without my shoes on.

God that was gross!
