The latest species to appear on the endangered list is CFL quarterbacks. Of the eight starting QBs in the Canadian Football League, four have been put out of action--temporarily, one hopes, but who knows?
Meanwhile, the BC Lions have re-signed QB Buck Pierce, a player who has an injury category all his own and who seems to have embraced masochism as a lifestyle. In Edmonton, Eskimo QB Mike Reilly appears to be indestructible, but how long can a player withstand the full-out impact of a trio of tacklers, weighing a total of roughly nine hundred pounds, on every play?
Our advice to young football players thinking of becoming quarterbacks: Go into a less dangerous line of work. Like interplanetary exploration.
