who I'd rather have playing qb.....

I've seen some talk around here about maybe picking up Joey Harrington to back up Farve if he comes back. I thought I'd share with you on of my favorite websites. The guy who started this website is a frustrated lions fan much like myself. hear is a lnk to the site Ihatejoeyharrington.com

and here is my favorite part of it.


Joey Harrington; Professional Quarterback or Piano Virtuoso?

This Page is dedicated to listing people who I'd rather have playing quarterback than Joey Harrington, with input from my friend Dane, and brother mike. Here is the current compiled list:



1)Any and all current/retired/dead NFL quarterbacks.

2)Any person who played a quarterback in a movie, such as Keanu Reeves, Adam Sandler, either of the kids from the Little Giants, the guy from Necessary Roughness who was also in Quantum Leap, etc.

3) William Hung

4) Bette Midler

5) My dog, Annabelle

6) Vince Vaughn, since he threw a football in "Wedding Crashers"

7) Christopher Walken, cause he's funny and Joey's not

8) My Uncle Doug

9) Uncle Rico, from Napolean Dynamite cause he could throw a pigskin a quarter mile.

10) The guy from the Levitra commercial cause he could throw the football through the tire over and over and over.

11) Joey's Piano, because it makes him sound talented and he's obviously not.

12) Jessica Alba, cause she's quite possibly the hottest chick in the world (Besides my wife).

13) Wayne Fonts, cause at least he smoked a cigar.

14) Screech from saved by the bell.

15) Air Bud (props to Danielle for this one) I've never seen his movies but I've been assured he can be a two sport athlete.

16) Danko Jones, Cause he can rock the freakin house.

17) Joey's brother Padraig, since he's a pro golfer he is probably tougher than Joey.

18) Nick Harris, he would be more effective kicking the ball to people than Joey is throwing it.

19) Jim Abbott, that one armed pitcher from the Angels.

20) Carrie Strug, cause she was pretty tough.

21) Michelle Wie, cause she's tall and can hit a golf ball pretty far for a girl.

22) One of those robots that they have over in Japan that can walk.

23) the Keebler Elf

You forgot Keebler Elf

it's not mine, I just copied it from the site. we can always add to it.

You know what would be a lot funnier than this post? If Joey goes to another team and finds success and turns into a Probowl/franchise QB. Anyways, he's got to do better anywhere but Detroit(No O-line/protection, I'd have happy feet too). Well at least you got Kitna in Detroit to do what he does best(fumble snaps).

Better watch it, or the Lions will turn McCown the viking slayer into the cheese grater.

Last year it was "The Three-headed Monster", Now it's "The Big three"? What new nickname will dillusional Lions fans think up next season when they still suck? "Big three", Bwahahahaha! I think even Kyle Orton in his rookie season has more wins than Josh McCown in four seasons.

the big 3 was a reference to detroit and the 3 automakers. I used it last year for Williams Williams and rogers. I keep trying to come up with new stuff just to keep it fresh. laugh it up cheese head, lions are making some pretty good moves in free agency. Oh, and we have a choice of 2 starting qbs, you don't even know if you have one.

Big3: Look closely at his Nickname: PackerSACKER54. I don't think slinging degrading cheese sayings at him is going to hurt him. However, it will entertain the rest of us...

ahh, good point 4thand26. Most of the time I respond to what is written without looking at their name. That being the case, the Lions have 2 starting qbs, the packers aren't sure if they have even one. But we all know the bears don't have any.

OH!!! This is getting fun!!! Watching a Lions and Bears fan exchange insults! I've never had the chance to SEE that before!
Carry on my friends!!! I'm just gonna lurk! 8)

shhh...cheesey...they don't know we're here!!! 8)

That guy from Quantum leap was named Scott Bakula.

I heard he was going to "Quantum Leap" to the year the Lions win the Super Bowl..............but the show's producers said that was too unbelievable of a show plot line. :wink:

I just noticed where packersacker is from and why he's probably so mad. It shows his location as Oregan which is where pink pants played in college. Probably just another "blueskies" fan throwing a tantrum because the piano man turned out to be a bust. Don't try to use the Bears as a cover up packersacker. It's obvious you have a man crush on Joey and are mad at the lions for getting rid of him. Or you truly are a Bears fan and have a man cush on Joey because as terrible as he is, he's still 10 times better than Grossman or Orton.

It's actually spelled "Oregon"(sp?), but then again 4th grade is probably a whole nother year away for you. Joey sucks in the NFL and I never rooted for him especially since he played for that "wanna-be" franchise you call your Detroit Lions. You know we do have more than one college football team right so I don't have to be a Ducks fan? I also bet I've been a Bears fan longer than you've been alive. What was Joey's QB rating vs. Kyle Orton's and Grossman's in 2005? 10 times better huh? I think not. For someone that hates on Joey so much you sure go outta your way to defend him. I'm willing to bet you we're all for Joey leading your "three-headed monster" last season with Garcia as your back-up (who'd eventually start). Don't assume somebody roots for someone just because of global positioning on the map either. And where did all your gay assumptions/man crush talk etc( about me) come from or are you just looking for companionship. I think you are a lonely, angry little Lions fan who has been driven into a deep depression due to realizing the historical crappiness of you franchise. It has driven you to dellusional and irrational thinking, causing you to make the same unrealistic BS predictions every single season. I do understand that 3 playoff games in 40 plus years and one win without even a SB appearance will do that to people though. Sorry about your luck. No I take it back, your a Lions fan you do it to yourself. Also if I was a "blue skies" "fairweather" NFL fan don't you think I'd pick a team that had won a SB at least in the last decade. At least you can be comfortable knowing there aren't any "bandwagoners" rooting for the Lions because they don't even have a wagon to jump on.

P.S. Cheer up! You've just been enlightened.

Holy crap. Is that Big3 I hear wimpering in the background? WHAT A BEATDOWN. Intelligent, witty, compelling, I almost feel sorry for him. I take back the whole spooning thing about you and Cheesy. Please, don't hurt me.

I already replied to the spooning comment, that was funny.

apparently you misunderstood parts of my post. I never meant to stick up for Harrington, only to insult Orton and Grossman. Which may not matter now considering you guys have a real qb (griese). A "man crush" is not meant in anyway to be homosexual. More like an idol or hero. So no thank you on your invitation for companionship. Although I'm flattered, I'm happily married to a wonderful women. Also the blue skies reference was to Joey "blue skies" Harrington which was a nickname given to him by his teammates in college. And last but not least, I'm not at all depressed. I'm at a lions fans favorite part of the season. It's while during free agency and before the draft we get our hopes up again before reality comes crashing back down.

P.S. now we've both been enlightened.

your maMa

Yo grandmama!

I heard that the Bears are also considering adding Harrington as well as Greise.

TonyBear is that you?
