That didn't last long

As most of you know by now, Jeff George was signed last week by the Oakland Raiders for reasons that most of us still don't understand. If you didn't know this it's because 1) you are allergic to football, 2) you reside under a big, massive, pre-historic rock, 3) you are married to Jessica Alba, meaning that you have better things to do..

If that's the case, I'll recap it very quickly for you. George is 38 years old, hasn't played football in 5 years and he got signed by the Nfl's most dysfunctional franchise. Add those 3 elements together, and you get a joke that just keeps repeating itself.

But not everyone found the signing of George stupid and amusing. Jason Whitlock, who also writes for Espn's Page 2, actually found it to be a brilliant move. He accompanied that by writing just about the dumbest article you could imagine and prompting me to actually lose some respect for him.

I wanted to make fun of Whitlock after reading it the first time, but I opted not to. I decided I would wait till George would get cut. Turns out I didn't have to wait long, because Jefferson is already on the streets again as Oakland released him yesterday.

So with that out of the way, I can now go ahead and ridicule Jason Whitlock and his dumb article. Below are some of his statements..

Re-signing Jeff George might be the sanest thing Al Davis has done in the last decade.

Note that this is the first sentence of his article. If Whitlock doesn't have all your attention after this, you probably need some sort of medical attention.

There's no reason Jeff George can't be a backup quarterback for the next couple of years.

I see no reason that he should be a backup quarterback...neither do the Raiders by the looks of it.

I can guarantee you that he still has one of the three best arms in the league.

I hope that Jason is not a betting man...

Jeff is like the hottest girlfriend you ever had.

If the hottest girlfriend I ever had is a 38 year old man with a mullet, I might be doing something extremely wrong with my life.

Oh, she might've been bat-spit crazy, slept with all of your boyz and is in need of medication, but two or three months after the breakup all you really remember is the great sex, the weekends in Vegas and the two-month, drama-free period when you thought you'd found your very own Halle Berry.

I don't know where to go with this. Jeff George and Halle Berry are as opposite as it gets in my book.

If you go into it with your eyes open, you can milk two or three years of friends-with-benefits happiness out of it, and have the freedom to bag any of her friends without a bit of guilt.

I don't know about you, but Jason sure makes me feel very uncomfortable with these comparisons..

But it's foolish to blast Davis and Shell for doing what makes perfect sense to anyone with the brains to look beyond the easy jokes about George.

Yeah..I'll just leave it at this. Feel free to continue mocking him in your own free time.
