It was reported by those who could view the sideline that it was obvious that this was NOT the gameplan, but a spur of the moment decision by Rex. Sanchez was relaxing on the bench, and Matt Simms had his helmet on, ready to go. Then suddenly, it was reversed and Sanchez was up taking practice throws.

Why does every sports media outlet insist on calling this a meltdown? This was barely a thawout. I'm not even sure Rex has a meltdown in him.

"Taking your time is kind of the whole idea, here."

The idea is that you suck because you're not as popular as people that BronzeHammer has heard of. Seems pretty simple to me, why haven't you stopped trying yet?

Yuk, that's gross, man. You've got Colin Cowherd all over your comment.

Sounds like you have a hell of a lot of conversations about marshmallow fluff. Figure that's gotta be a good thing.
