0812_gradkowskiWhen the local news teases a story about Bruce Gradkowski, internally one’s mind says “please oh please report that he’s starting a football game.”

Then the commercial ended, and the story came. Yesssssss.

Now that the Browns have put their third QB on IR, Gradkowski gets the start and the backup quarterback will be … [spins roulette wheel] Richard Bartel! Hey, that … kinda sounds like a quarterback name! Bartel, of course, is the pride of … [throws dart at map] Tarleton State, the Division II powerhouse!

So, I can’t stop staring at this. Not sure why.

Maybe it’s because the Browns topped the Bills 29-27 despite all best efforts to gift-wrap the win to Buffalo. Maybe it’s because the game was unexpectedly interesting, it made the the live blog fun. Or maybe it’s because I haven’t left the apartment in two days, and therefore I have lost all sense of decency, and maybe some other vital senses as well.

Despite its low center of gravity, you can still tip the Futon Report.
