MMQB: Coda

Now that we have less than a week to go before the first preseason game, we can stop running filler. Which means no more Peter King recaps. Frankly, I didn't think I could make it through another edition. A few selected highlights from this week's MMQB which will probably tell you all you need to know about why that feature -- and this one -- needs to die:

"As Roger Goodell nears his one-year anniversary as NFL commissioner ..."

"Donovan McNabb, with the hot breath of second-round quarterback Kevin Kolb breathing down his neck as the Eagles opened training-camp practice ... "

What a country. You can fly 2,479 miles from the woods of New Hampshire to the desert of the southwest, or you can park your car in a microscopic spot in New York City for as long as it takes to have lunch. Same price." (Stealing Yakov Smirnoff's material again.)

"Football Fever! Catch it!"

"I think a lot of people are thinking about you, Bill Walsh, and wishing you well." (Walsh was dead by the time I read this.)

"Aaah, fans. You guys are great. I mean it."

"Brent Musburger, you are the man. The man!"

I can't take it anymore.
