Don't call it a COMEBACK!!

So, I understand not being able to let go of things; an old car, your favorite hat (for girls, maybe a pair of jeans, I don't know), or even a few of your childhood dreams (at some point I knew I wouldn't ever become that fireman/major league pitcher/fighter pilot). But at some point, you have to realize that things are just over.

Eight years ago, Jeff George threw his last NFL pass, which I'm sure was an interception (haha). Now, at 41 years old, he wants to try to make some sort of "rise to power" as an NFL quarterback again.

Really? Really, Jeff? Were you even that good eight years ago? What makes you think you could make it now? I mean, if NFL teams are that desperate for someone to dress out, throw some incompletions, and take a few sacks at $1 million a year, sign me up, I've got some time!

“I’ve been trying to figure out how to get back in, and it just amazes me that I’m not on somebody’s roster,” George said. Take a page out of Drew Bledsoe's or even Vinny Testeverde's playbook Jeff...don't try it! You've already put "delirious" down on your resume, don't add "RIP" to it also!

“I’ve been throwing two or three times a week, and every time I go out there to throw, I can’t believe I’m not a backup somewhere. I know it’s a young man’s game, but you can’t tell me I’m not better than some of the quarterbacks that are out there. I look at teams like Minnesota or Chicago, and I want to scream at the people in charge, ‘What are you thinking?’ ” HA! Two or three times a week, huh? The retirement community lets you out that often for alittle "rec time"? I'd imagine you'd need to throw alittle more than two or three times a week , because if that's all you need, then I refer you back to the "I've got some time" comment.

Well, good luck to the old man if he gets his chance. I just hope all the twenty-something, 400 lbs benching, 4.4 sec 4o running linebackers out there still believe in respecting your elders too, or else his next online article will be his obituary!
