Your Meast this week is “The Polish Rifle” and yinzer non grata Bruce Gradkowski, who possibly murdered the Steelers season with three 4th quarter touchdowns, including a game-winner with nine seconds left to Louis Murphy. Gradkowski had previously started two games on the road in Pittsburgh, with the Bucs in 2006 and the Browns in 2008, leading his offense to a combined total of three points. Judging from his first dropback, it looked to be more of the same.
Then, bam, fourthquarterkkake. Ape no smirre. This was a boon to flubby and retards who send subject-free e-mails to bloggers.
Quite the burn, Patty.
To recap: Ted Ginn, Matt Stafford and now Bruce Gradkowski have won the Meast this season. (None for Peyton!) What a time to be alive.
Your Least is Shaun “Shazam” Suisham, who has cost the Redskins no fewer than two games this year. And probably a few last year too. Ask Maj. He could tell you how many.
People love it when overpaid Redskins free agent acquisitions fail spectacularly, and, yeah, that’s always nice. But I also admire the poetry in one of the lesser paid and easily replaceable cogs in the Snyder Failbot Factory causing things to go awry.

In Suisham’s defense, it’s really the entire team’s fault for putting him in that position.
SHAZAM!!!
My wife claims Mike Tomlin looks like Chef from South Park. Discuss.
Sometimes less is more. At least my girlfriend believes it.

How ’bout Polish Cavalry for Gradkowski?
Jamarcus Russell, Darren McFadden, and Darrius Heyward-Bey: The Bizarro Triplets.
No Ryan Mundy(Steeler FS) for Least? After having the worst single drive ever by a FS? Took out a teammate with a helmet to helmet hit, then got a penalty for a helmet to helmet on a receiver after a dropped pass, then gave up the game winning TD to Louis Murphy.
I still think Suisham should have gotten Meast, he saved us from the tidal wave of douchebaggery that would have followed a Skins win over an undefeated team.
It’s like 18-1, only in reverse.
I still find it hilarious that the Raider’s QB depth chart consists of JaMarcus and two QBs who couldn’t make it on the Browns. Three, if you include Jeff Garcia’s two week vacation in the Bay area.
There are at least 10,000 Patrick Harringtons in Boston. I hate to admit it, but I probably know the guy.
Jaws is the one and only Polish Rifle in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
He’s no Polish Power Ivan Putski thou.
/I can see Lackawanna from here
/Palinized
I think it should have gone to Flacco.
/Packer fan
All this talk about rifles has Browning Nagle thinking ” comeback!”
I think the man some Skins fans have actually compared to Sean Taylor should be the Least. Laron Landry tackles like Wade Phillips diets.
Maybe Patrick Harrington isn’t a gloating Raiders fan at all, and is merely voicing his approval of Thursday’s “Derek from Muncie” post.
Suisham: Cut for some kicker that was in the UFL.
Only the best kicker in UFL history.
/Shows self out
We considered Meachem, but given the fact that Gradkowski won on the road in dramatic fashion against what’s supposed to be a good defense (I know, I know) with a bunch of shitastic receivers, we went with him.
Sorry, but I think Robert Meacham was more measty. Huge momentum-swinging plays at the end of each half. I know it was only against the Redskins, but damn, he made two BIG plays.
the polish control the nicest piece of land in eastern europe, from a geopolitical standpoint anyway. make a good sausage too.
and how about jamar williams for meast. 18 tackles [13 solo], 2 passes defended? yes, the rams, yes.
@ twoeightnine: It’s better than the 65% our Canadian kickers used to give.
The win over the Steelers may have convinced Crazy Al to bring back Cable for another season, bringing joy to both competitors in the AFC West, and those facing prosecution for spousal abuse.
I feel like this is a toss up between Gradkowski, Vick, and WELKAH. (in loss to spite NE fans.) But I like the end result.
Bruce Gradkowski: The Brolack
/kills self

I didn’t think they could top the sheer ridiculosity of Shawn Suisham’s name, but Graham Gano?
That’ll do, hogs. That’ll do.
Suisham: Cut for some kicker that was in the UFL.
If Polish Rifle is taken, how about The Pole Arm? Geeky double meaning with appropriateness for his position!
Suisham’s fail was my ecstasy.
/still can’t believe how lucky my Saints got
Luck…or the hand of a higher power, helping his son, Breesus, when he needed it.
And yes, I was positively Marmalardian after that missed kick.
As for Meast…worthy. I might have gone with Chad Henne but he only beat a bad Pats defense. But he only beat a team. He didn’t end a dream.
just sat there with the mute on as Fox went to commercial and my mind entirely devoid of thought.
Technically, you’re supposed to let your mind go entirely blank when Fox comes back from commercial.
Nathan Hale-Don’t forget to add a washed up and abusive Shawn Merriman…you know Snyder has a hard on thinking about getting that MD boy on his team.
I would say that the Polacks, next to the Ukrainians, Czechs (and possibly Belorussians) are the least-offensive of the Slavic peoples.
That’s just false, sir! I hate Favre on this site. I make fun of Boston fans too. And Peter King, to the extent that there’s any difference.
But in no way is that similar to the way you talk about the Ravens or Ravens fans. Right down to living in the middle of them. Not similar at all.
The hate is similar, yes. But I occasionally post on other topics, y’know, just to shake things up.
Peyton probably had about one or two Meast-worthy games this season anyway.
Pierre Garcon for Meast?
I though Eric Piatkowski was the Polish Rifle. How the hell can Poland have TWO rifles?
Come on now Ape, I hate on the Steelers when 1) they lose, or 2) Hines Ward does something dirty. And like I said, with the new possible exception of Redskins fans, no one hates their own team like Eagles fans. So enjoy the inevitable ReidFail with a little extra gusto, you deserve it for being a good sport.
It’s kind of amazing. You talk about them even more than I do.

Is a Polish Cannon a good thing?
Had I not heard it used in this context, I’d have thought it was a piece of weaponry that backfires & kills the person who fired it.
But I guess the season is still young.. Al Davis will find a way to make Gradkowski fail.
/ I said the same thing about Gannon, who was then stellar
There is only one Polish Rifle and he is Eric Piatkowski. You can’t try to steal his name like LaDanian did to Lawrence Taylor, it’s un-american. Recommend calling Gradkowski Pole Slaw instead.
And the warmth of that game will keep you cozy throughout this playoff-less winter.
I should’ve known enjoying Steelers loss out loud would incur your wrath,
Whatever. All you do on this site is hate on the Steelers. It’s kind of amazing. You talk about them even more than I do.
And it’s true. Super Bowl titles will do that for you. I can deal with the occasional disappointing season. Watching the Iggles lose in the first round should help too. But to who? Arizona again? The Giants? Can’t wait.
“My suggestion: Trade LaFuckus for a bag of squirrels.”
How about a nest of pigeons? The Raiders would be sure to have the league’s best kick return coverage unit then.
Shame about the Cardinals though.

I should’ve known enjoying Steelers loss out loud would incur your wrath, but I’d rather make 10,000 schaudenfraude comments about the Steelers losing then one Monkey Business-esque comment about my own team.
Suisham’s fail was my ecstasy.
/still can’t believe how lucky my Saints got
Wouldn’t a team that traded for LaFuckus have to pick up his salary? Hahahaha… good luck with that. Raiders are chained to that anchor until his juicy first round contract runs out. How much would it cost to cut him at this point? Maybe all could fire him “for cause”.
At least the Eagles lost at Oakland. They also beat KC and the Bears.
Shame about the Cardinals though.
Drew Bress called to congratulate Gradkowski on his winning of this award, since he’s just such a swell guy and likes to make sure the up and coming talent gets their props, no matter how minor.
At least the Eagles lost at Oakland. They also beat KC and the Bears.
And it’s not news that as an Eagles fan, I hate my team. Jesus Christ, they signed Vick just to make sure no one was trying to resist.
I think it’s strange that no one has ever seen Punch and Patrick Harrington in the same place.
/i kid…
Pat Harrington? Huh. Who knew that Schneider from “One Day at a Time” was such a trash talker?
Such a nice award for a guy who was once benched for Tim Rattay
Have you seen the Eagles team? Would you want to gush over them?
I find it funny how much 85 gushes over a Raiders team that also beat his Eagles. I know he hates the Steelers more than he loves his own team, but it’s still amusing.
I said it Sunday, and his new Meast status confirms: He will be known to me forevermore as Bruce RADkowski.
I would watch football if it involved a bag of squirrels.
That’s what you get for signing a Canadian kicker. He’s only gives 95%.
How long before JaMarcus is on the Skins?
As a DC resident, my dream is a Redskins team with JaMarcus at QB and a decrepit Larry Johnson or LT at running back.
@SafetyDan:
I was at the game and all I could do was the face palm. I want to know what was said to Suisham in the locker room after the game.
And Rockgroin…you’d be lucky to even get a bag of squirrels for that bum.
“Trade LaFuckus for a bag of squirrels” It couldn’t hurt your receiving corp at this point.
‘Snyder Failbot Factory’
I LOL’ed.
“Failbot Factory” I’m adding that one to the vocab.
Punch, to risky of a trade due to the chance of JaMarcus eating the squirrels.
Peyton not getting the Meast this week made me so unhappy I was reminded of the time Big Papi blah blah Grady Little blah blah 1908.
/meme’d
the entire falcons defense looked pretty leasty to me.
Josh Freeman throwing 5 int’s and 0 td’s was pretty leasty.
“Trade LaFuckus for a bag of squirrels.”
No way, dude!! Animal cruelty!!!
But making fun of the shittiness of a Louisville product like William Gay would only hurt flubby’s victory boner.
As Measty as Gradkowski was, I think the entire Steelers secondary (particularly Gay, but not just him) could have easilt been the Least. Suisham, though a good choice, only completely fucked his team once in that game.
“Sam Huff still called it the best game he’s ever played.”
Sam Huff also thinks we should get some of that Wildcat stuff that everyone’s been talking about.
Imagine how many games the Silver and Black would have won with G-Money at the helm. My suggestion: Trade LaFuckus for a bag of squirrels.
Suisham should’ve done the Bironas fingaz after that miss.
I saw that pic and immediately thought you gave Brees the Meast (who was deserving, no doubt). But Gradkowski certainly earned his award.
LaRon Landry’s line (12 tackles, 1 sack, 3 passes defended) scream Meast, although the two touchdowns he gave up on double moves whimper Least.
Sam Huff still called it the best game he’s ever played.
As a Redskins fan all I could do was stare at my TV in shock at the end of the game. I just sat there with the mute on as Fox went to commercial and my mind entirely devoid of thought. In that moment of zen I finally understand what Vinny’s daily life must be like.
