Miss Lonelyhearts: Mar 22, 2003

TBH TFF loved Kluwe early in his career when he was mostly known for applying to a high level Everquest guild. Finally a nerd in the NFL, just like us, but then he continued raising his profile for a few years and became insufferable.

I also met Pat McAfee once, he's from my area and when he was a rookie, came to talk to grade schoolers where I worked. He showed up wearing lovely ripped jeans, like shredded at the bottom by his ankles, and I immediately labeled him a scrub.

Pat McAfee is the drunk American everyone loves. His story about being completely shitfaced with his family, the Colts drafting him as a punter, then having to go out the next day to learn how to punt with his dad is fantastic.

He is a treasure and his podcast isnt bad either.

He did both duties his Jr and Sr years, but they just told him to go out there and kick it as far as he could so he never really paid it any practice time. He only worked out for NFL teams as a Kicker so when the Colts called, he didn't really have the whole being a punter thing down.

They also put him on with some assistant during the draft and she was going over what numbers were available, and he just took the very first number she said so he could get back to drinking which is why he wears the number 1.

Well, to be fair, those drives were really short, so Hekker could probably not it as far as he wanted and it still would not be a touchback.

quote:

- 110 of the 147 offensive coordinator jobs (74.8 percent) filled since 2007, not counting coaches hired on an interim basis, went to a former NFL and/or college quarterbacks coach.
- Of those 110 jobs, five went to black coaches (4.5 percent) and three of the five went to the same black coach, Hue Jackson, now Cleveland�s head coach.
- Black coaches accounted for eight of the other 37 offensive coordinator jobs (21.6 percent) that went to coaches without a QBs coach background, showing they often have to take the long route to the top.
- There are only two black QB coaches in the NFL: Byron Leftwich, who was hired by his former coach, Bruce Arians, with Arizona, and David Culley, who coached NFL wide receivers for more than 20 years but took the Buffalo quarterbacks coaching job in a late-career attempt to become a head coach. There were no black QBs coaches in the NFL a year ago.

Yikes.
