in the wake of all this tom brady hubbub, another major star was lost for the season on tuesday, as shawne merriman announced he would undergo surgery to repair the two torn ligaments in his left knee.
shocked? i didn't think so.
why was he going to try and play this season anyway? to put shawne merriman's injury in perspective, let's draw some comparison. his decision to play was like sacha baron cohen trying to play borat without the accent or the moustache. or like pamela anderson trying to became famous without breast implants. or like hillary clinton campaigning for obama without vomiting in her mouth a little.
okay, maybe analogies are best left to d.r.w. but you get the point. a linebacker isn't going to be able to do his job when his knee is unable to do what it does best - turn.
so as merriman unsurprisingly sits out the 2008 season, we will do well to remember the fundamental truth: some athletes are just plain stupid.
