That's because he usually only picks the tough games and doesn't bother to pick games like, for example, Colts over Cardinals.The guy still has a job because he is one of the very, very few columnists that actually watches tape and breaks it down, instead of just making assumptions, buying into hype, and drawing conclusions based on statistics and popular media opinion. He tapes the games, watches them, re-watches them, and fills up notebook after notebook with his observations and analyses. In a world of Pete Priscos, Skip Baylesses, and Ron Borgeses, Zimmerman is a columnist that knows what he's talking about because he actually takes the time to watch the games and form his own intelligent opinions.His books "The Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football" and his 1984 update of that book, "The New Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football" are widely considered the best analytical books ever written about the game.If Zimmerman were fired from SI today, he'd have every other media outlet in the country banging on his door with offers within minutes.That's how he still has a job.
content was worlds better than anyone else, but beyond that it was pretty boiler plate.
The thread title changing three times just tickled me, is all.
