Kyle Boller. You remember him. He was Joe Flacco before it was fashionable to be Joe Flacco. Now, Boller will most likely start in place of the broken-legged Marc Bulger. [Sky Sports/Photo: Radar]

The Gripping Ravens Quarterback Controversy

Say what you will about how bad Steve McNair has been this year ... but it sure beats Kyle Boller. For Ravens fans, we can't imagine how depressing this sideline cutaway must be.

The End Of The Kyle Boller Era Of Joy

Yesterday, after much debate and "controversy," the Baltimore Ravens finally traded for Steve McNair. Until McNair's legs fall off — we have Week 8 in the pool — he will take over the starting job for Brian Billick and his Nevermores.

This makes sense for the Titans, of course, who no longer have to deal with their franchise player hanging around providing good advice and wisdom to their No. 1 draft pick. We wouldn't want that. But the saddest part of this is that it means we must say goodbye to the non-stop quarterback party that was Kyle Boller, starting Ravens quarterback. Boller's devotion to the team was famously documented in this photo, one of the earliest and most workmanlike of all drunk quarterback photos.

Here's a tip of the cap to Boller, whose corporate responsibility was so ingrained that he made sure, when photographed while leaving a watering hole piss drunk, to be wearing his team's officially licensed merchandise. That's leadership, folks.

Kordell Stewart Is Back, And, So You Know, Still Not Gay

Today is a beautiful day, and not just because Jay Bilas is in Kuwait. No, today the news came across: Kordell Stewart could be returning to the NFL, likely with the Ravens again to help with the injury to Kyle Boller. This is fantastic news, because, as the old maxim goes, Nobody Denies They're Gay Like Kordell Stewart.

Stewart's sexual orientation has been questioned for years, so much so, in fact, that about five years ago, then-Steelers teammates were beginning to openly question him about it, forcing him to call a team meeting to clear the air. That meeting led to one of the most amazing paragraphs ever written in Sports Illustrated, or anywhere.

Stewart's sensitivity and his low profile off the field made him seem distant to teammates during his difficult periods. Moreover, some Steelers admit they were fazed by rumors that Stewart was gay, until he called a meeting before the 1999 season and issued a denial that included graphic descriptions of heterosexual acts he enjoys. "I could see the humor in the situation," Stewart says, "so I decided to have some fun with it. At one point I said, 'You'd better not leave your girlfriends around me, because I'm out to prove a point.' A couple of guys said, 'F—- you, Kordell,' and we all cracked up."

So, in case you were wondering, Kordell Stewart likes to have sex with women. Sometimes he likes it on top. Sometimes on bottom. Sometimes from behind. You never know with that guy. He'll do it with girls any which way he pleases. So you better not leave your girlfriends around him. Because he'll totally do it with them.

Welcome back, Kordell!
