    And I'm still waiting to see you actually contribute something in one of your posts. What are you doing on a thread that has nothing to do with teenagers having sex, anyway?
     
  2. I thought there'd be stuff about Bledsoe. I was wrong.

    When I hear Bledsoe's name, I always think of one of the ESPN commercial for their football shows. Berman is teaching a college class and he asks a student what Bledsoe's nickname is. The student thinks and responds "Drew bled so much that he needed a transfusion". Then Berman (or another student) says that it is a trick question and that he doesn't have a nickname.

    You should be used to that by now. :)

    Would you have been happier if I mentioned Drew likes to drool over teenaged girls on the Internet?
     
  6. I clicked on this, still thinking there'd be info about Drew Bledsoe.

    Still wrong.

    Plunkett, yes - he was just a mad bomber - but Vinny T? I'd put them about the same.

    Bledsoe actually took a bad team (thanks in large part to Parcells) to the Super Bowl. Testeverde really just floundered in Tampa Bay.

    Vinny's penchant for interceptions -- be it a result of his colorblindness or languishing on bad teams -- also puts him a notch below Bledsoe.

    You can thank Mr. Mo Lewis for keeping Belichick's head coaching career afloat.

    Oh, Bledsoe. More durable for one; he played 70 more games.

    Vinny had intangibles, too, though. Brought younger quarterbacks along. Good locker room influence. Played a shitton of games.

    Bledsoe had a little more talent and success, probably, yes.
