UPDATED: Another Vote For Luke

I’ve been coming down hard on Pat Yasinskas lately because sometimes he talks out his ass. But he said something I agree with here, so GO PAT!

Jason: Birmingham, AL: Pat, I keep reading you say that you think that Leftwich will be the Bucs starter this year (at least until Freeman is ready). I just wonder why you think that? Byron has experience I suppose but he couldn’t even beat our Redman in Atlanta for the backup job. He is has slow feet and even slower delivery and it seems that the team is very intent on McCown starting. He doesn’t seem to be a guy you would want Freeman to watch and learn the position from. Please explain.

SportsNation Pat Yasinskas: Not sure when or if I said Leftwich would be starter. If anything, right now, I’d say McCown until Freeman’s ready.

There’s been a lot of jerking off of Leftwich lately, which I still have yet to understand (the Leftwich part, that is; the jerking off part I understand all too well). But every now and then you’ll see someone who doesn’t buy the hype and understands that Luke is the current favorite inside One Buc Place.

The other amazing thing about this quote? Someone from Alabama wrote an entire paragraph with virtually no spelling errors. And he asked an intelligent question, too, supporting his own position with facts. This throws my entire perception of Alabama into question. Next you’re going to tell me that he didn’t fuck his sister after he was done or have a breakfast of Mad Dog and grits.

UPDATE: Hey, guess who has a contrary opinion?

6. I think I cannot believe — and will refuse to believe until I see him stink it up in training camp, which won’t happen — that Byron Leftwich will not beat out Luke McCown for the Tampa Bay quarterback job. Leftwich is just better.

[Read the following paragraph in the same tone that Christian Bale used in his rant to Bruce Franklin on the set of Terminator: Salvation, which I hear sucks panda balls.]

Oh, so you REFUSE to believe it? Who the fuck are you? Huh? How much time to you spend at Bucs training camp? One day. One day per season you get your fat, danish-sucking ass down to Tampa — da-da-da-da-da-da — and watch practice for ten minutes. You’re so fucking amateur. Leftwich is just better? How the FUCK would you know? I guess that’s why Leftwich sat around for six weeks while McCown was one of the only players the Bucs re-signed before he could hit the open market. I guess that’s why Leftwich was one of the only pieces of a Super Bowl winning team that Pittsburgh didn’t want to retain. You know what the trouble is? The trouble is that you have no — SHUT THE FUCK UP OR I’LL KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS! You have no idea what it’s like to work with football players. No fucking idea. If you did, you wouldn’t say this shit. We’re done, man. You and me? We’re fucking done.
