and the all SEC quarterback for the 2007 season is...

It must be an extremely slow sports day.

It's the day after what one sports talk radio guy called "the most relevant of all the major sports' all star games." OK, isn't that a lot like running a beauty contest for the three ugly step-sisters? None of them are relevant. Nobody gives a damn about any of them. The only reason this one is less "not relevant" is because it determines home field advantage in the World Series.

This morning the hot topic here was...who's going to be the all SEC quarterback this season. The consensus was, it's wide open. Any of about nine guys could take the title, but we have a parochial favorite. The reason it's a topic is that there are several very good quarterbacks in the SEC this year, and the University of Florida has Tim Tebow, who has already kicked an armored piercing round's ass in the 100 yard dash and vaulted over the Sears Tower. The radio guys are pretty much picking him. The kid can do no wrong, but he has yet to start a football game as a Gator. These guys are already speculating that he's the guy. He very well might be, but let's hope he doesn't trip over his cape. Personally, I saw the kid play at Nease High School here, and I think he's pretty good, but can we let him get a few college games under his belt before we declare this the second coming?

Back to the point. It is a wide open thing. Of course it's a wide open thing! How obvious could that be? They haven't even played that first game of the season, where they pay the Little Sisiters of the Poor Country Day School to come in and be sacrifical lambs, yet. It's freakin' July. This is a topic for....Thanksgiving. None of these guys has done squat yet. OK, maybe they have done squat....repeatedly. They're doing two a days and squats are probably a big part of that. But we're already passing judgement on quarterbacks for a season they haven't played one game in.

I guess the interview with Kobayashi, after his upset loss in the Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest, fell through.
