Everybody is on Matt Staffords jock these days. I mean way more than the normal heterosexual way that Bmase and I are on it. They literally are making printed love to it. "not that there's anything wrong with that" and it is getting to the point of outright ridiculousness.
Sanchez had this to say...
"He knows how to play, it's obvious. He showed it in spurts, like we both did. It's just, right now they're struggling, trying to find some players. But it'll happen. That kind of stuff takes time, but they have a great starting point. He's not OK with losing, and he'll turn that thing around."
Cris Carter continued...
"I believe he's going to be a star in the league. It's nice that it's not just the talent. He is tough. His teammates seem to like him, and he's in a tough situation. But he's not complaining or crying about it, and a lot of young quarterbacks in the league, you don't see that. For guys who have played the game, we respect that, and when you respect it, you acknowledge it."
Stafford's play after his first year even solicited the praise of the formerly mute Barry Sanders...
"What I liked about him is, he seemed like an NFL quarterback. That's from watching him play, and not just his demeanor. He reminds me of a young Troy Aikman, or a Drew Bledsoe. They're not just players. They have a passion for the game. They have a feeling for how they play. He has an awareness about him. He has confidence and ability. That accounts for something. I like what I've seen so far."
Corporate America has their panties all in a bunch over Stafford too, Axe body spray http://www.facebook.com/axe and Gatorade have given him Ted Danson money in order to have their product hawked. Its good to know that if this whole football thing doesn't work out he's popular enough to probably replace Paula Abdul on American Idol.
PS - I love that the fuckin Lions only won TWO games last year and people are acting like Steve Jobs is running the show. What happens when we get to the Superbowl? The world implodes on itself? I'd bet that is how Lost ends, with Stafford holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy. I'd be cool with that.
