In a chat before the Monday night game, Wilbon explained that when writing a column about a Monday night game, he writes it during the game, on the fly, because the column is due 10 minutes after the game ends. So, when he bashed Brunell on Tuesday, I think it was because Brunell *started* the game poorly. Wilbon probably began his column with that angle, and indeed, Brunell looked shaky in the 1st half. He didn't really rally until late in the game, which was admirable, of course, but Wilbon probably couldn't rewrite his entire column at that point. I'm not a big Mike Wilbon fan, but given the circumstances, I don't fault him as badly as Gibbs did for his piece.
