So I’m winding down from an Action Jackson weekend of not much (Outside of Friday’s pill and the Information show) and I decide to check up on Week 3 over at espn.com. I enter their SportsNation poll for Player of the Day, this regal Sept. 23. The deserving candidates:
- Donovan McNabb, PHI, 381 passing, 4 TD
- Brian Westbrook, PHI, 221 yards, 3 TDs
- Tom Brady, NE, 311 passing, 4 TDs
- Kevin Curtis, PHI, 221 yards, 3 TDs
- Joey Harrington, ATL, 361 passing, 2 TDs
I voted for McNabb, like any sane person, despite him personally raping my team in the YKHII league. But the vote-by-state breakdown caught my eye (Go to espn.com, scroll down to bottom right to score at home), and not just because it’s more colorful than my ex’s shiny new gay pride flag just purchased off www.monthsoflies.com. But apparently:
- Everyone in New England voted for Tom Brady. In each New England state (Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island and…uhhhh… Oh, right New Hampshire) the majority of votes went to Brady, even through Moss was the best player on the field today at Gillette. In Vermont, 61% of voters are absolutely sure Brady was better than McNabb (and Moss) today. This region is fucked.
- Harrington is still worshipped in his native Oregon, where he also starred as a shitty-uniformed Duck in college. He took home the leading 44% of the vote, topping Brady who netted 8%. What a difference a coast makes. He also must have seduced Alaska with starry eyes and while ruining the Detroit Lions franchise, because he got 36% there too, tops around the mountains.
- Michigan can’t decide between McNabb and Kevin Cutis. Each has 25% (More on Curtis in a sec.)
- Overall McNabb has the rightful lead, at 39% overall, topping Curtis at 22 and Brady at 16, taking home every state but the ones mentioned above… and Idaho.
- Idaho is the undisputed president of the Kevin Curtis fanclub. 30% of Idahoans think Curtis’ performance was the best. That’s pretty fucking random.
Curtis, who I just learned is white (and related to Reggie Willits), grew up in Murray, Utah. Why no love from his home state, but a hand job from the one directly above it? Murray is located beneath the Salt Lake, so it’s not a border city. 2003 3rd Round Pick Curtis went to Utah State, so what in the name of the immortal Keith Van Horn is going on here?
If anyone knows anyone in Idaho, please ask them why they love Kevin Curtis so much. And why is Utah hating? Is this Andre Kirilenko’s fault, too? I’m open to suggestions. (Cowboys, Pats Super Bowl, for the record)
