More QB News: Josh Freeman Sprains his Thumb Shooting Guns, Light a Candle for Matt Leinart's Shoulder

The Buccaneers suck this year.  They're 4-7, and they've lost 5 in a row.  Apparently, 4 weeks ago Josh Freeman sustained a thumb injury, during a bye week activity at the shooting range.  They didn't release the report until today but Head Coach Raheem Morris had this to say: "It is what it is. These guys are 23 years old, and it's our job to make them more responsible and grow up a little bit." Raheem Morris, you got some nerve, insinuating that just because your below-average QB gets paid ludicrous amounts of money to play a sport on Sundays, that it was immature to take a couple of hours to go do a moderate-very dangerous activity.  Guys correct me if I'm wrong here (even though no one comments), but Raheem Morris is being a controlling asshole here right?  Sure, Josh Freeman sustained a shoulder injury that he probably severely aggravated in addition to fucking up his throwing thumb, but don't you know how stressful it is being the franchise quarterback for an NFL team with no chance of making the playoffs?  While all you 'normal' people just get up in the morning with nothing to worry about and punch the clock at your 9-5 backbreaking job with no health benefits Josh Freeman has to worry about super important things like if he wants to eat the $10,000 dollar fine for wearing red cleats this weekend, or whether he wants to have sex with a blonde or brunette that night.  It's a really tough life, thats why he "treats the range as a release".  Yeah that's fair.  I mean everyone has their releases.  I watch Romantic Comedies and make nachos with Tostitos, some people have spa-days, others go to the gym, Josh Freeman shoots guns at targets.


Have you ever been led on my a girl super badly? Like just teased so terribly that it makes you cry?  That's almost exactly what happened to me at around 2:20 on Sunday afternoon.  Matt Leinart made his first start since 2008.  Then, once I was fully erect, Leinart takes a tumble and comes up lame on his shoulder.  As I buried my face in my hands, I thought of one thing: How fucked up is Leinart going to get tonight?  That mildly cheered me up for a minute, but then I realized that may have been Leinart's last shot.  That could have been his last hurrah in the NFL, ever.  Who moves to the #1 partier, #1 sex symbol QB role? Sanchez? Orton? Brady? Quinn?... Palko?  No one comes close.  So raise your glass, whether its Keystone or Savignon Blanc, because we lost a great one on Sunday.  You will be missed Matty, you will be missed.  I need a release.  Time to fire up some 500 Days of Summer and melt some nacho cheese.
