The Death Of The Black Quarterback. Jamboroo, Week 3

Drew Magary — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:20:00 EDT

Drew's new book, "Men With Balls," released October 27th and featuring 100% new material, is available for pre-order here. You can email Drew here. Read him during the week at KSK.

The flirtations with Brett Favre not withstanding, Vikings head coach Brad Childress made a valiant effort to put his faith behind his shaky quarterback even though nobody really believed him. Well, Childress has seen enough of Jackson's dawdling so far this season and has opted to start journeyman quarterback Gus Frerotte this Sunday instead. The news has the Minneapolis area quaking, it seems, because the Star-Tribune stories about the move have crashed in the last 30 minutes.(Sorry about that Mr. Rand. Totally wanted to give you credit for the story. Go yell at your superiors.) More »
