Scumbag Quarterbacks

Good morning to you, Mr. Scumbag Quarterback. You guys know who you are, and you're littering the league like wrappers out the window on the interstate. What happens to litterers on the highway? They're fined. For littering the league, scumbag quarterbacks, you should be fined! You're wondering, Bous, where is this all coming from? I respect the Patriots, I think they're the best team in my lifetime, but I really don't want them to go undefeated! I didn't realize that I didn't want them to go undefeated until the past two weeks when I had to rely on the Eagles and Edgar Allen Poe's Ravens to knock them off their perch. By relying on those two teams it meant I had to rely on A.J. Feely and Kyle Boller.

A.J. Feely has been garbage since he landed in the league (thus the role of backup/sometimes 3rd string QB). He begins by playing the game of his life (a fools gold momemnt for Philly fans) and has his team in position to either win or be in pretty good control, and the real A.J. Feely shows up. When he was driving down the field throwing TD's, you just had the feeling like YEAH this is great, but it IS AJ Feely. Kind of like kissing your sister. A kiss is a wonderful thing, but match that with your sister, not so great. In true Feely fashion, he throws a Polock TD right to Asante Samuel ending all hopes for a Patriot loss.

Last night, I'm stuck with Kyle Boller and the entire scumbag Raven offense. Anemic truly doesn't even describe how much the Ravens offense has held that team down for many years. Than ran into some poor talent in the NFL the year they won the Super Bowl, or they would have been shut out for the decade. Anyway, Boller and the Ravens give us a great fools gold first half. Tied at 10, keeps ratings up, and gets me awake later then I need to be. McGahee is on a mission out of the half and leads the Ravens to a 17-10 lead. Fast forward to 24-17, Ravens ball on the Patriot 30, looking to go up two scores if they can gain about five yards for a Stover field goal. What does scumbag do? He throws a polock touchdown right to a guy named Sanders. A mix between Colonel and Deion. Right there, I should have quit watching. I knew it, Kyle Boller had fooled me like so many scumbag QB's before. But in true pyrite fashion, I keep watching. Drive after drive where the Ravens can't gain a yard. No first downs in the final 10 minutes. Brutal, absolutely brutal to watch! Then it comes, 4th and 1, game hinging on a play. Ball is snapped, Brady tries the sneak, and is stuffed by Ray Lewis. Whistles come flying, timeout Ravens! Should have stopped watching right there. Try it again. Ravens stop it, but there was some movement. 4th and 6. Pressure on Brady, he scrambles for the first down. 1st and 10. Gets to be 4th and 5 with a minute + left. Brady to the endzone...incomplete! Ravens should win! Nope, defensive holding call. At that point, I knew; game over. I was right, HOWEVER, the best part of the game was Kyle Boller throwing the Hail Mary. Boller was known coming into the draft that he could throw the ball something like 65 yards from his knees through the uprights. He finally got to use that skill in the a real game, folks. We've got a new Michael Bishop!

So scumbag quarterbacks please stop fooling your fans, again you know who you are...Alex Smith, John Beck, Tampa's threesome, Carolina's #1s, JaMarcus Russell, Eli Manning, the list goes on and on.
