The Quarterback's Bitch...A Sports Commentary (Reposted in honor of the upcoming season)

I absolutely love spending time with intelligent people who are good conversationalists. Last night, I was blessed to be around two such fabulous individuals. I was at a good friends house visiting, when one of his friends came over. We were having great conversation on a lot of different topics, so I'm really not sure how this topic came up, but I knew as soon as the question was asked, that I'd be writing about it today.
Both these men are really big guys, well over six feet tall. The subject of football came up and my good friend asks my new friend, "Man, if you had a son, would you want him being a center?" I must admit, I wasn't sure which position he was talking about when my new friend answered, "Hell, no!" Then they proceeded to talk about how the center is bent over every play while the quarterback reaches his hands between the center's legs. The only thing separating the quarterback's hands from the center's nuts being the cup he wears. I am saying this very tamely, as it was a very animated discussion with my good friend making demonstrative gestures to further his point. I then piped in and said, "If I ever decide to play football and the quarterback is good looking, that's the position I'd want to play!" That's when it hit me...the center is the quarterback's bitch!

 
We were rolling laughing at this crude thought, when my new friend suddenly got serious and says, "You know, man...I've NEVER even thought about that, but you're right. I'd want my son being a head hunter, not having some man behind him rubbing his balls every play!" As you can well imagine, especially those of you who know me personally---I was blinking back tears, I was laughing so hard!
This discussion went on for a while, and then went to even greater depths and I had to ask my new friend, who is a black man in his late 20s, if it would be worse if the quarterback was white. At first, he denied it (with overted eyes), saying that it wouldn't matter, but when my good friend called him on it, he reluctantly agreed that if his strapping son had some weasley little white quarterback bent over him, sticking his hands between his legs..."Hell, yea, that would be worse!"
The funny twist to this story is that the center calls plays and is often the brains of the operation...further proof that the center is the quarterback's bitch! Us bitches usually do have the brains!
DISCLAIMER: I understand that the center is a vital and important position that requires skill and intelligence. I also understand that I am probably offending at least one player on every football team. However, rather than getting your panties in a wrinkle, wear your new bitch title with pride and say, "Thank you for noticing!" (Then ask for a HUGE raise or to switch positions.) Personally, I envy the centers and am thinking of trying out for the San Diego Chargers if it would mean that I'd get to have Phillip Rivers between my legs!

  1. Phillip Rivers? I hate that guy! A real asshole he is!

    You know, centers are one of the highest paid positions in football. So yes, I would love for my son to be a center making 12 million a year!

    By the way, I really hate the word captcha! It's a real pain in the ass! Is it your way of torture for your readers?

    2. I seriously have no idea how I managed to change my settings. I fucking hate when blogs have captchas on them so thanks for alerting me and helping me change it. As for Rivers, what can I say, I'm from San Diego so I've got a soft spot for the Chargers, even when they suck, and Rivers is a yummy piece of eye candy.

      And I DID give the centers props! Are you getting your panties in a wrinkle? lmao

    1. I know enough to know that I LOVE the way a mans butt looks in their uniforms. That's reason enough to watch a game...that and the beer and game day snacks...and the beer and the butts.

    1. Geesh!!! Everyone's yelling at me today! If I wasn't so stoked I might cry (or not). I will be doing a post, but need to let it sink in first. Still sorta shell shocked!

      As for the man card, I'll let you keep it...I at least know you're not in it for the nice looking man butts.

  4. If only I could have had a video of their animated conversation. These two big old guys practically rubbing each others nuts in demonstration. It was quite funny.

  9. I laughed at the this especially hard because my brother was the starting center (and captain) of the football team all throughout PAL, middle school, and high school. hahahahahaha I often would tease him about the QBs finger position and the lovely towel that he had to wear on his ass in case the QBs hands got sweaty. Bow chicaaa boww wowww. hahahaha

    1. Yeah, Yeah, I never said they were any good, but as a displaced San Diego girl, they remind me of home so I've got a soft spot for them...and the fact that Rivers is fun to look at is only an added bonus.

    1. Glad to have you on board, though visiting your blog has my tummy doing flips (missed lunch). If someone where to walk by me with a burger, they'd be in serious danger.

  14. I was with you until you mentioned Rivers. Come on, there's so much better eye candy out there. River is such a baby. I can't stand him. But I WILL say at least in terms of looks he's got our QB beat. You like horses? Nayyy, you say? Then Peyton Manning may not be the dreamboat for you.
