What is the job requirement for writing a column at ESPN?

"Williams is a one-time Pro Bowler who has averaged 842 rushing yards per season in his career. Peterson has averaged 1,442 while Forte has 1,078 yards. So if DeAngelo Williams got $21 million in guarantees, what does Peterson (and, for that matter, Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans) merit? How about $25 million? Do I hear $30 million?"

I love how the guys look at one stat, total yards, when it comes to comparing RB's and then calls it a day. 842 yards per season is pretty damn good seeing as 2 of those were as a backup. In his first full season as a starter he was the best RB in the NFL in my opinion. Sure AP had more yards but he also had like 100 more carries, if he didn't have more yards it would be an absolute failure. This guy makes it seem like we gave a garbage RB way too much money. While I agree I wouldn't have paid quite that much given the situation, but if I had a choice over AP, CJ and Dwill, I would take Dwill all day long.

I thought all an ESPN writer need to know was the words "dallas", "Brett Faveruh", "patriots", and be able to drink coffee without spliing it.

I hate those mutherfuggers....

And they say the same about Johnson. Only X amount of sacks in X amount of years. Those guys don't pay ANY attention to people outside their division.

apparently not a ball sack

Though his agument is flawed as he does not take into consider other variables and factors that played until the results, it is resonable for most people to feel that CJ and AP deserves much more $$$ than D-Will.
