Faneca Makes ESPN’s All Decade Offense
holyjoenamath.com — Like his monster sized counterpart on the other side of the ball, New York Jets offensive guard Alan Faneca has made the ESPN All Decade Offensive Team. Even before coming to New York, Faneca was a beast for years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he has carried that over to his play with the ... (more) Faneca Makes ESPN’s All Decade Offense

What a Rush
18 To 88 - An Indianapolis Colts Blog — ... No surprise when it comes to the Offensive team.  Again, you really have to wonder what the rush to select this team a full year early is.  Williamson selects 88 as the WR, but picks Brady over Manning...because of Super Bowls.  But if the Colts win this year, would he still make that call? ...

Brady the All-Decade choice at QB
Extra Points — ... and no Patriot was part of the club. A strong case could be made for Richard Seymour over Kris Jenkins (Seymour is an end in the 3-4 defense, although he is better characterized as a tackle based on his responsibilities) . Today, the All-Decade offensive team is unveiled and the lone Patriot is quarterback Tom Brady. Brady's three Super Bowl championships gave him the edge over Peyton Manning by ESPN.com decision-makers.

Tom Brady is ESPN.com's All-decade quarterback
Pats Pulpit — ... over Peyton Manning for their All-decade offense?  They were clearly out of their minds!  Save it.  It's an opinion, albeit a darn good one.  You see, it's based on hardware, 3 vs. 1 if you need a reminder. ...

The Broken Record: ESPN has a lot of stupid people working for them
Stampede Blue — ... Oh boy. In another mind-numbingly painful attempt to create another Manning v. Brady debate, the erstwhile "bloggers" at ESPN have named Tom Brady the All-Decade Quarterback. To give their decision weight, they sought the endorsement of recently fired Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards, who seems to have found his comfort zone as ESPN's resident babbling TV studio buffoon: ...

ESPN's All-Decade Offense
Windy City Gridiron — ... player to get featured on ESPN's All-Decade Defense.  Today, they have released their All-Decade Offense.  Before I clicked their article, I tried to see how many Chicago players could make the list, and I came up with the only name that ESPN did. ...

ESPN Names All-Decade Team
Football Outsiders — ... and the offense on Tuesday , with special teams and other honor to come throughout the week. Also, isn't there another year left in this decade? Aren't they ignoring 10 percent of the evaluation period? Torry Holt and Marvin Harrison over Terrell Owens and Randy Moss seems reasonable now, but what if Moss goes and catches 15 more touchdowns this season? Should you wish to debate their choice for All-Decade quarterback, I refer you to ...

Land of the Giants: Play of the Decade Edition
Big Blue View — ... ESPN.com is spending this week doing an "all-decade" retrospective (which, in typical ESPN fashion is a year too early), and today they had NFC East blogger Matt Mosley select the best "moments" of the decade. I don't think anyone here is gonna have much argument with his choice for best play: Manning-to-Tyree. In fact, I think even TruePatsFan* would have trouble arguing with that play being the top play of the decade. No Giants made ESPN's all-decade offensive team, but perhaps the least controversial inclusion on their all-decade defensive ...

Like the Hatfields and McCoys, Brady vs. Manning debate continues
Pats Pulpit — ... When ESPN.com created its All-decade Offense and picked Tom Brady over Peyton Manning, I knew what would happen.  Colts fans went absolutely NUCLEAR that someone didn't kneel at the altar of Peyton.  The war of stats and words began.  Back and forth, playoff wins vs. 4,000 yard seasons, system quarterback vs. true star.  Whatever.  It was all rather amusing, how lathered up people get over this stuff.  There were a few interesting points that I want to address, a sort of Patriots fan perspective on ...

Daily Links: Faneca Names All-Decade
thejetsblog.com — Faneca makes the all-decade team for ESPN. Stuckey is working out with former Falcon WR Terance Mathis. GGN asks (a good question) on whether draft picks are valued too highly. A quick catch up with Doug Plank, the Jets assistant secondary coach and the man for whom the 46 is named. Model Joanna Krupa curses out T.O. (NSFW language) on Superstars. Chris Johnson wants LenDale out of the picture.

Pro Football Reference good; ESPN, still crappy
Stampede Blue — As we all know, ESPN's All-Decade team was a painful exercise in big media stupidity. First, creating an All-Decade team before the 2009 season begins made absolutely not sense as there are two there is one more NFL season left in this decade (2000-2009). Their team was created to do one thing and one thing only: Stir Internet chatter. Why else would they rank Tom Brady as the QB of the decade even though Peyton Manning destroys Brady in stats, team wins, and individual achievements? ESPN's reason for picking Brady was, ...
