The Dr. Z Smackdown » Brats & Beer

It turns out that Sports Illustrated columnist Paul Zimmerman has pretty thin skin. In his piece yesterday, the esteemed Dr. Z opened his mailbag to find some letter bombs from Packer fans steamed about his hatchet job on Brett Favre last week. But the Z got himself worked up after un-named agents informed him about Chris Havel’s venomous rebuttal to the now infamous Hall of Fame column and let loose a vicious tirade against the Press-Gazette sports scribe. A little bit touchy there, Dr. Z? At least if you’re going to rip some local beat writer from the Upper Midwest a new one, have the balls to mention him and his publication by name or link to the offending column (that’s what this here Interweb is all about) so your readers can judge for themselves who is most justifiably outraged in this little pissing match.

And speaking of pricks, have you seen the new ads for NFL Sunday Ticket featuring Peyton Manning? There Indianapolis is driving into the red zone, supposedly leading the Titans 28-3 and the Colts quarterback turns to the camera to tell us that if we had DIRECTV we could switch to a different game. Then Manning proceeds to throw a touchdown pass. I think that’s the most accurate portrayal yet of what a huge dick that guy is.
