One for the Football Geeks

In case you hadn't noticed (and I hadn't... Amr pointed this out to me), Tuesday Morning Quarterback is back on ESPN.com's Page 2.

This column is without question the most intelligent football column out there, and is also responsible for most of the odd links I send around to people from August to January, as the author has wide-ranging interests, and is nearing Stephen Colbert in right-wing dogma.

His bio:

In addition to writing Tuesday Morning Quarterback, Gregg Easterbrook is the author of "The Progress Paradox: How Life Gets Better While People Feel Worse," and other books. He is also a contributing editor for The New Republic, The Atlantic Monthly and The Washington Monthly, and a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution.

You don't see many football columnists who are this bright. Nice change of pace to have someone who actually knows how to write get the chance to write about sports.

Oh, and he also has a weekly item of "Cheerleader of the Week" for the "traditional male, and non-traditional female readers." He periodically runs "Cheerhunk of the Week", too, if that would interest you more.

PS: This is also the column that is responsible for my overuse of the seguay "in other news". Warrants mentioning.
