Everything that's great about America in...just...one...post


Here's the first thing that's great about America. Our Olympic participants can fall on their ass again, and again, and again and yet we can figure how to simultaneously bitch about age limits and rules and what-not.

What's with these sports that don't rely on the clock or the measuring tape? Ridiculous. They might as well just take a poll of coaches and media to determine who's tops.

Oh...wait.

Anyway, in honor of the pictured Captain America, I'll share Ohio State's own Capt. America stats, from Mr. Steve Bellisari. Check out these impressive numbers.

- Career 51% completion percentage
- 35 career TD's
- 29 career INT's
- 21-15, win-loss record as a starter (HORRIBLE)
- never beat Michigan

The only win against Michigan Belli-sorry ever presided over was from the sideline. Steve-O was suspended for the game following a DUI arrest and Mr. Craig Krenzel led the Buckeyes to glory. Nice work Steve.

In fairness, I met Steve Bellisari on one or two occasions and to be perfectly honest, he seemed like a nice guy. Maybe it was the speech impediment that contributed to his humble nature. Then again, the inability to throw the ball to the guys in the silver helmets probably was a factor as well.

What? You didn't think I had Bellisari's career stats laying around?
