Who blows more?

The 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, arguably the worst team in NFL history, hold the dubious distinction of being the last team to go winless in a season (0-14). And each season, Lee Roy Selmon and members of that team get together to open a bottle of champagne when the final winless team finally crosses over to the winning side. Actually, this is unconfirmed, but they probably do. Gathering at Lee Roy Selmon's restaurant each Sunday during the football year.

That mark seemingly in danger every year, but this year seems especially perilous because there are two teams challenging the NFL's record of futility -- the St. Louis Football Team and the Dolphins. But which team has the best chance of actually making a run at the 1976 Buccaneers?

If both teams end up winless, they should hold a special game the weekend prior to the Super Bowl and call it the Imposs-i-Bowl and let the Dolphins and St. Louis battle it out for the first overall selection in the draft.

The case for St. Louis: At some point you have to ask yourself the question, which is more improbable: St. Louis loses another offensive lineman (Richie Incognito) or that an Olympic swimmer would drown in three feet of water? Well probably never know. St. Louis also lost running back Steven Jackson who is hurt with a back injury. And he probably won't be too anxious to get back on the field any time soon.

The case for the Dolphins: Who could have seen this coming, seeing that Cam Cameron did such a great job as head coach at Indiana. And if that wasn't enough, the team almost got quarterback Trent Green killed, while Ronnie Brown is done for the season. And in a real committment to get the record, they traded their only other bankable offensive star -- receiver Chris Chambers -- to San Diego so he experience winning.

Who Blows More?

The 2007 season hasn't reached the halfway point yet, and already the season is a smashing success. Namely because the St. Louis Football Team and Oakland Raiders both suck. And they are not going to get any better -- at least not for the conceivable future. The main reason is the quarterback position. Both teams are lead by quarterbacks who could use another season of NFL Europe. If that league still existed, of course. So the question on everybody's mind is, who blows more, Daunte Culpepper or Marc Bulger?

  • The case for Culpepper: Everybody proclaimed that the old Daunte Culpepper was back when he accounted for five touchdowns against the Miami Dolphins. But two things that those myopians never considered -- Randy Moss no longer plays for the Raiders. And the Dolphins are the worst team in the National Football League. The old Culpepper just heaved balls into the air and let Moss come down with the football. Pretty much what Tom Brady is doing right now. And while all of the media wonders if the Patriots can match the 1972 Dolphins, the current edition of the team looks to challenge the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers in terms of futility. Remember, there was a reason why the Raiders wanted to start Josh McCown while he was riding in wheelchair. When Josh McCown is considered a better alternative, you really, really must blow. A-hole.


  • The case for Bulger: The St. Louis apologists will likely point out that Marc Bulger lost his best lineman and running back-- Pro Bowlers Orlando Pace and Steven Jackson -- and has played with bruised ribs behind a makeshift offensive line. And it's true. In fact, Bulger is the only quarterback in the NFL who has been injured this season. And the St. Louis football team is the only team that has suffered injuries to its offensive line. Nobody else has to face a crisis like this. Oh wait, every team has injuries. The Ravens have injuries and they are still winning. No put this one on Bulger who is leaning on the injury card like a partisan politician points the finger. There is no coincidence that Bulger has limped through a season after signing that huge extension. Even Shaun Alexander thinks you should earn your money. Jerk.
