OMG! I Broke a Nail!


Okay...the NFL needs to stop wimp-a-fying it's quarterbacks. No one wants to watch a game and see quarterbacks playing who may wear panties. Every time you turn around, there's a flag being thrown for "roughing the passer." They're footballers first and quarterbacks second and that's what football is all about: getting hit, being tough! Since when do they make quarterbacks who can't take a hit? Who would rather run from a defender and throw an intentional grounding ball, than look out for a wide receiver to throw the ball too? Granted, sometimes it's wise for a QB to throw a ball away if they don't see someone in the open to throw it too rather than lose yardage if he gets sacked, but I swear I've seen receivers out there waving their hands for the ball while QBs are tip toeing and "jete"-ing away from defenders trying to avoid being touched. We need to go back to the days when the QBs were up for a little rough and tumble, like Joe Namath, Joe Theismann, and Doug Williams. Them were MANLY men, not like these quarterbacks o'day who get manicures, take modeling pics, and get matching eyebrows like their wives (ahem Tom Brady). Something needs to be done about these ticky tack flags for roughing the passer. Let the boys play ball!!
