The quarterback has thrown an inordinate number of incomplete passes. The receivers are not that competent, either, but., clearly, the QB can't hit the broad side of a barn, anyway. This guy has wanted to be the starter for 34 years. For most, that's a career, and then some. Granted, he served as back-up for 8 years, but, unfortunately, the starter didn't run much of a clean ship, himself, preferring to take the glory (?), leaving scraps for his back-up. Not to mention that our bumbling QB already spent 15 years prior to his first shot at being starting QB as as fullback. He was good at blocking, but, mostly in the way of other players. Blocking your own team isn't exactly a distinguishing talent. Seems his only real talent in sports is as a hairy lifeguard, telling stories to children poolside.

So, whoever is coaching this team, and we don't have player coaches, had better start thinking long and hard about how they maneuvered this particular consequence, because, although the QB is talking a good story, into nine months of whiff-ball, the scoreboard still reads zero for the home team. Coincidentally, that is the number the QB happens to wear.

Is this a joke, or what? Funny how the stadium is mostly empty on gameday, and it isn't Covid over-caution. Wasn't like that for the other guy.

It's a metaphor for another popular pastime that should have naught to do with sports, but, unfortunately, does.

A metaphor, you say?  For what?  I wonder...
