Trent Green has signed on to have his head bashed around for another year. Contrary to popular belief — and common sense, intelligence, wisdom, and any other word that implies smarts — Green signed with the St. Louis Rams as a back-up quarterback to starter Marc Bulger. After two vicious concussions [see details HERE] and 1324 Advil over the past 13 months, Green has made the decision to give-it-a-go again,
“We have now solidified our quarterback position,” Rams coach Scott Linehan said. “You will be hard-pressed to find the quality we have at that position. Now we have another quarterback that has played in the Pro Bowl. Trent not only brings experience, but adds leadership to our team.” [link]
Coach Linehan neglected to mention the fact that quarterback’s typically have fully-functioning brain stems, know how to find there way home after practices, and are fed with utensils other than spoons. Not to say that Green doesn’t have all his faculties together, but just last week he was picked up by police stumbling down the highway naked with his football helmet on. When asked what he was doing, Green replied “stupid is as stupid does and I like sausage.” Nobody was exactly sure what he was implying, but his agent reportedly negotiated an endorsement deal contingent on the Rams signing with Jimmy Dean. Shrewd marketing, Trent.
