In an interview with some magazine called "The Whitefish Review," Bledsoe confessed that he dreaded leaving the summer behind and heading back to training camp, an affliction that's surely shared around football but likely not to the extent of Bledsoe, who always kind of looked like he'd rather be anywhere but on the field.

"The best day of my year was always the day after the season when we landed in Whitefish and I could feel myself exhale. Like the pressure was lifted off my shoulders - a physical feeling when we would get into Whitefish. I always looked forward to that day every year and it never let me down. The worst day of my year was always that last day of my summer. I would sit on the dock at my house on Whitefish Lake with my legs dangling in the water before I would fly back on the plane to training camp."

This reminds us of KSK's famous Eli Manning Really Would Rather Play Squash series. We think Bledsoe would have been much happier playing squash.

"I'm not leaving the game with any hard feelings," he said. "I had a great career and I enjoyed all of it, with the exception of losing. I enjoyed the time I had with all the teams I played for. I played with a ton of great players and a ton of great people.

Bledsoe was drafted in 1993 and ultimately lost his respective starting jobs to Tom Brady, J.P. Losman and Tony Romo. One could argue that Bledsoe was the fourth or fifth best quarterback of the nineties, for whatever that's worth. We wonder how much mental space Bledsoe will take up in our Fan Historical Databases in, say, 10 years. We're probably just gonna wait for the inevitable Simmons column later this afternoon, which should explain it to us.

Bill Parcells is having a hard time with this whole business.

I'm ashamed to put a team out there that played like that. I apologize to the people who came out to watch that."

Considering this was the "win-it-all" season for Parcells and the Cowboys, we legitimately wonder if this might be the last time we ever see Parcells coach. This can't be much fun, and he has already sullied whatever "legacy" he had — that legacy being man boobs, Gatorade baths and Lawrence Taylor — and they're obviously not going to win the Super Bowl. It's really the perfect scenario for those who hate the Cowboys; they're imploding, they have no real plan and they're this close to blowing it all up and starting over. Hell, Redskins fans could rejoice ... if they didn't have plenty of problems of their own.

But yeah: Terrell Owens didn't need to destroy this team; they're doing just fine on their own.
