(A picture of Vinny Testaverde with his brother Bob Hope)Its an odd time to be a QB in the NFL right now. Right now its Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Big Ben, Jon Kitna, Tony Romo, Brett Favre and 50 guys that suck.
I know the Throne has a few New York area readers, so they'll get a kick out of this next story. Apparently the Panthers are still insisting that The Statue of Vinny be their starter.
From Yahoo:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Soon-to-be 44-year-old Vinny Testaverde has moved back into the lead in the pothole-filled race to be the Carolina Panthers' starting quarterback.
Testaverde returned to practice Wednesday after missing the Panthers' loss to Tennessee with a sore right Achilles' tendon. David Carr watched practice from the sideline, yet to be cleared after sustaining a concussion against the Titans.
And even tough he split time with undrafted rookie Matt Moore, and coach John Fox declined to select a starter, Testaverde sounded like the guy who will be under center on Sunday against Atlanta.
"I feel great right now. Hopefully there are no setbacks, which I don't anticipate," said Testaverde, who turns 44 next week. "I'm excited about it. I think we made the right decision in not pushing it last week."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Why is Testaverde still playing in the NFL? When football guys hit forty, the only team they should be playing for is the Nutrisystem Team with Dan Marino and Dan Shula*.
The Throne can only hope that it'll still be performing at such a high rate for 25 years as The Statue of Vinny, although the Throne will probably need Viagra just to get out of bed in morning by that point.
Have a good time people!
Expect the Throne's 2008 Official Presidential endorsement tomorrow!
