ESPN scoured its message board this morning for its wittiest, hardest-hitting, most enlightening comment, and chose this one above all others ...
• "The Pats needed a test like this, it will only make them better. I hope they go undefeated." — Leo l.

P.S. I love Tom brady! :-)
I hope this becomes a regular feature on Deadspin.
To be fair, Leo I wasn't a very controversial pope. I bet Pius XII would've had some real hard-hitting analysis.
Yeah, isn't the accompanying pic of some 5-year old? Speaks volumes about their commenters.
that was the same level of insight that sean salisbury can provide, so it makes sense that espn would feature such commentary.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Canonized saints make terrible commenters

Ooh, I can't WAIT for jockjams96's rebutall!
@Shea Guevara: Well-played, Clerks.
Every time I read one of these I have to use this voice.

They cutoff the part where he wrote ...and the Yanks suck."
But what do Raph, Don and Mike think of the Pats' chances?
@Zach Parise's Shorty:
If only there was a way to exploit the wisdom that is sean salisbury.....
This just barely edged, "College football -- nothing like it, baby!" and "The Jags showed me a lot yesterday."
When did Kige become a Pats fan?
@McCroskey: Groovy, Tubular, and Woooooah!!!!, respectively.
The next best quote was mine.
"I think the Pats have shown the rest of the League that they can be beat by throwing over the middle."
Nothing funny, just the facts.
The Patriots are good. They still have a chance to go undefeated, unless they lose. Go Patriots!
@katolesce: The comment is even funnier if you imagine Kige's voice reading it.
Somewhere, Shortstack 52284 seethes.
"The Pats needed a test like this, it will only make them better. I hope they go undefeated. Go Cubs!" -- Leo l.
Fixed.
Definitely needs to be a regular feature... although we can do it with Deadspin comments too.
For instance, someone last night said that after the close game Andrea Kramer would renege on her desire to submit herself to Brady for the purposes of anal intercourse.
I think we can all agree that if such an agreement was in place, Ms. Kramer remains in the same position she would have been had the Patriots won by a 100. Tieing her shoelaces from a standing position.
@Zach Parise's Shorty: So we will get to see Leo's dick this afternoon?
@katolesce:
That's way too much analysis for Kige.
He generally limits his analysis to 2.5 or 3 syllables.
The "of the day" part of the title means this will be a daily feature. Yanks Suck!

@ClueHeywood: The Dolphins play tonight, and if they lose, they will remain winless, and have a chance to go 0-16, unless they win.
This is what happens when you leave Emmitt in the studio, unsupervised.
Tha-tha-tha-that that don't kill me

That's exactly what I was thinking. The Patriots needed a "test" from a mediocre NFC team with a backup quarterback starting. I am now so much more confident that the Patriots are the best team ever, and that Tom Brady's sperm is more valuable per ounce than printer ink.
@Stay Away From Oprah: If it replaces the SSW, I am all for it.
@Me So Hornsby: Don't go Dolphins!
Returning a kick for a touchdown leads to more points than if there's a touchback.
- Tim McCarver
The Patriots won because they wanted it more than the Eagles.
@Adonis: I agree. Some sort of compare/contrast feature is needed. I can just imagine one for college football:
"Go Missouri! We deserve this!"
-ESPN commenter
"If I shit on Pam Ward's chest, would it make her look more attractive?"
-Deadspin Commenter
I don't believe this guy. For one, he is always braging about his newphew who works for the city's sanitation department.
Rejected Feature Comment:
"Jerry...Hello!!!"
-Uncle Leo
@Civil Negligence:
Parks department.
If you catch a ball and land out of bounds, it does not count as a catch.
-John Madden.
As long as we keep putting up more points than the teams we play, we have a good shot at winning all our games.
-3rd runner up.
"Sarcastro needed a sandwich like this, it will only make him fuller. I hope he can have another one at dinner."
-- Leo I.
omg i hope this game is sweet tonight lol.
@Shea Guevara: +10. I laughed out loud, and not it the internet cliche way.
I believe Bill Belichick gave the team the same speech after the game.
How the fuck do you get better than undefeated?
@Chamomiles Davis: The AFC East forfeits the rest of the games against the Patriots.
I predict a win! For the Miami Dolphins.
-eddie at espn
Update on Shortstack folks, he has been inactive for 3 weeks and here are the last words he has given ESPN for the time being.
Best fielding percentage in ML history, and 0 gold gloves?? Rockies, (esp Tulo and Helton) got the short end of the stick.
-shortstack52284
Rob Iracane's uncle Leo has never been a particularly sassy or witty commenter. This hasn't caused any emotional scarring or anything for our resident Combudsman.
@Senators Lost Cojones:
This is one feature that should can't be blowed up.
@twoeightnine: FYI, it's "Yankees suck." That second syllable makes the chant work.
@Stay Away From Oprah: YES, YES, YES!
@Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!:
I agree to your agreeal.
"Ayyy, shortstack! You seen Chachi?"
