May We All Find Opportunities In Life To Be So Abundant

Gus Frerotte to take over the starting QB job from Tarvaris Jackson.

What, exactly, does Gus Frerotte have to do to not be in the NFL, let alone have a starting job? We're talking about a guy who is 37 years old, who has never (ever) been good, and who once knocked himself out of a game on national television by head-butting a wall. Eight (nine, if you count the Vikings twice, and you should) teams have decided to pay him; a similar number of teams have decided life would be better without him.

I mean, I get that Jackson is horrible, and that the 0-2 Vikings have to do something before Brad Childress is fired and they trade high picks to the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS for Brett Favre when he retires after his first New York booing. But for heaven's sake... Daunte Culpepper had to take his ball and stay home. Doug Flutie is still more mobile than Frerotte. Brad Johnson is holding a clipboard in Dallas. I'm certain that there is a McNown or Detmer looking for work.

And you're giving the keys to Gus The Wonder Mule?

Really?
