Later they printed 14 retractions from their story but buried it in fine print in the middle of the magazine. The magazine has no integrity and less talent. We should not even be discussing their opinion. Give me an analyst who really knows football that says this about Washington and I'll get upset. But SI? I'm feeling that gaseous feeling welling up again.

Seems to me there are so very few analysts that actually know what they are talking about these days. Either they're commentary is driven by ratings or showmanship, i.e. Michael Irvin, or they have some biasis against certain teams, i.e. Peter King.

One guy I'm starting to like a little is Troy Aikman, even though he's more of a commentator. He doesn't get carried away with shit.
