Roll, Daunte, Roll (The MJD Smorgasbord on Deadspin)
This feature shows up on Deadspin every Monday and is fantastic.
Some highlights from this week:
So the Rams are taking the field today with a quarterback with broken ribs and a white starting running back. I don’t think the Elias sporting bureau has official stats on such things, but I’m willing to bet that the all-time record of teams with white running backs and QBs with broken ribs is well below .500.
And Brett Favre is your all-time TD leader, connecting with Greg Jennings (subbing in for his brother Brandon this week) in the 1st quarter. In celebration, Favre picks Jennings up over his shoulders. If Favre ever tries this on one of those tackle-eligible TD passes, he’s going to end his career.
And my CEO’s favorite:
While we’re back on the subject of Santonio … Dan Dierdorf just called him “San Antonio” Holmes. Somewhere at home, Santonio’s mom is watching and thinking to herself, “HA! I finally got someone. Now go do your homework, Langeles and Nork.”
