Starting Quarterback
So I was reading my homie Sammy C's blog today in which he was referring to Congressman Reyes as a quarterback and made a reference, complete with picture to Bret Favre, complete with picture.
Specifically, Sammy writes:
"Let's go ahead and use the Congressman's analogy. Do we give Silvestre Reyes a two year extension on his contact and hope he stays healthy or do we let him go and go after a younger quarterback who brings in new and fresh ideas and who we can get another 8-10 years out of. I honestly think it is time for Reyes to hang up his hat and go into full retirement.
It is a tough decision for any coach to make and this November you will be the head coach. I just hope you make the right decision in the voters booth.
"
He also writes, "A quarterback who is getting older, who is way past his prime and who can only go around flaunting his seniority. I think we are seeing that story play out as we speak and it is not pretty."
Brett Favre, that aging quarterback, beat the Cowboys yesterday in a come-from-behind victory. Although, the Congressman is a big Cowboy fan, I still think the timing of Sammy's post is hilarious.
But there are a couple of funny things about that post. #1, Sammy makes the point about getting a younger quarterback who brings in new and fresh ideas. Did you notice he never said which of the two candidates should be that new quarterback? He never goes so far as to say it should be Besco, the Republican nominee.
#2, is age his measuring stick in terms of effectiveness in Congress? If that's the case, there's a certain senior senator from Arizona who was his party's nominee for the last presidential and he was a pretty old guy. Now that I think about it...so was Ronald Reagan.
Earlier in his piece Sammy mentions the Congressman coming out strong against his opponents at the Ray Pearson Forum. "He must feel somebody on his heels for him to come out swinging like he did."
Interesting. Does he have any polling data to support that claim? If so, exactly who does he think is going to beat the Congressman? The Republican candidate that is looked at like a joke by a large part of his own party that really wished they had another canidadate? Or perhaps the other candidate they wished they had as their candidate that doesn't have enough money, volunteers, or resources to be a contender?
Exactly which one of those guys are on his heels?
