So Long Drew

If you haven't seen it yet, check out what I hope becomes a staple of this site, Greech's 38Bitches. Kid's a legend in the making, and I am proud to share this site with him even if he feels the need to bring up misjudgments in facial hair (which he is 110% jealous of because the kid doesn't even own a razor) and skips out on #20-36 (and blames me because he's not creative enough to think of 38 things. Personally I woulda gone with something like Troy Brown's number (80 btw Greech) because I'm good like that and don't short-change our 8 fans). Anyways check that out and then read on.


No that title isn't some kind of knock on JD, he's actually been pretty damn impressive for the Sox so far. The Drew in mention is former Patriots QB, Drew Bledsoe, who announced his retirement yesterday.


Bledsoe had some great years here in New England. Sad to say the most memorable thing about Drew will be the hit he took from Mo Lewis that led to the beginning of the legend known as Tom Brady. And now about 6 years later, Drew is being pushed out of town by another young QB on the rise, and Brady is knocking up some of the hottest girls in the world. Brady 1, Drew 0. Actually it's really more like Brady 38, Drew 0, but who's really keeping track.


I think what I will remember most about Drew is the 2002 AFC Championship where Brady went down, and Bledsoe stepped back on the field for the Pats and led the way to a huge win. That pass in the back of the end zone to David Givens (you know the one, can't find a clip to it though sorry) was probably the best throw of his entire career.

Actually, that whole thing is a lie. The thing I will remember most was easily the patented Bledsoe "drop back 20 steps, look at every receiver on the field 3 times, panic, and instead of taking the sack, throw the ball in the direction of the receiver with the most defensive backs surrounding them for a pick." That became about 500 times more entertaining when he was doing it for Buffalo and Dallas.

Here's a breakdown of Drew's career you might like. He's top 10 in completions and yardage all-time for QB's. Looks like a Hall of Famer to me. Should be interesting to see how that turns out in a few years. He's gotta be a lock though. Between making way for 2 young franchise QB's and turning the panic interception into such a big part of our lives, I give him the nod.



Thanks Drew, Tom Brady never woulda been a star if it wasn't for you. And the Pats wouldn't have three Super Bowl banners hanging at Gillette if it wasn't for you. Actually that should be a thanks to Mo Lewis, but since you're retiring we'll give you the credit.

FYI, I really wanted to find a pic of Drew launching a prayer from a 45 degree angle to the ground with 3 D-linemen destroying him, but I'm too lazy and that one above is the classy thing to do. Adios Drew. And seriously, if you haven't yet, check out Greech's 38Bitches, it's totally worth it. And yea that's right bro I link to you twice in one post. I'm that kinda guy. Remember that.
