so a story that happened last week that i neglected to cover was the official closing down of the All American Football League, a league made up of college graduates who couldn't cut it in the NFL or CFL or Arena League. there were teams set to play in Texas, Florida, Michigan, Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee that were to be made up of college players from those and surrounding states. some of the leagues stars were to be former Florida QB Chris Leak and former Nebraska QB Eric Crouch. you've really gotta feel bad for Crouch. the guy is living proof that the Heisman Trophy is nothing more than a glorified paper weight. since winning the award in 2001 he's been cut from two NFL teams (correction, cut by the Rams cuz he wanted to play QB and they wanted him to be a receiver and then he asked Greenbay to let him go cuz he wanted to play QB and the team drafted Aaron Rodgers), he's been a washout in NFL Europe (where he tried to play safety), and he was the third string QB for the Toronto Argonauts. this was his last/best chance to finally be a pro QB (albeit in the 3rd rate league) and now it's all over. dude, please just go sell some insurance in Lincoln or coach a high school football team. it's too painful to watch you fail. i mean i understand and believe in your love of the game, but man, it's just not gonna happen bro. please ESPN give this guy a job as an analyst...or something. make the hurting stop for our poor boy Eric.
*on a related note (aka QBs who should quit while they are ahead), ten bucks says Brandon Cox would've ended up playing in this league for the Alabama team and also would lead the league in sacks and picks.

I agree, Cox would've been an excellent DB/safety in the pros.
