Game Over.

This blog was a way for me, Drew Bledsoe, to deal with the 2006 Dallas Cowboys season.

The season is over. And now so is this blog.

If I learned anything from Jerome Bettis, Jerry Seinfeld, and myself, it's that you should always leave them wanting more. Go out on top.

I don't want to be like Tony Romo, and peak early then fizzle out into obscurity and show up at the ProBowl in one month feeling like a 7th grader who crashed a prom knowing that I don't deserve to be there, hanging around all the "grown ups" knowing that everybody thinks that Matt Hasselback or Jon Kitna are better quarterbacks than me and that I cost the Cowboys a chance to advance to the next round because I couldn't hold on to a football, and I smell, and I don't like Burgers.

That's not who I am.

So this will be my last post.

I want to thank everybody who's ever read this blog. You are responsible for this greatness more than I am. Of course, that's not true. The only reason you are here is because I'm a master story teller. I was just being modest.

When I started this blog exactly 75 days ago (maybe, I'm just guesstimating) I had no idea how much of an impact it would have on my life. I just wanted an outlet. A way to share with the world my hilarious, well-articulated thoughts. I realized during the live blog last night that it has become so much more than that. I'm now not just a future hall of fame quarterback, but a future hall of fame author/entertainer as well.

So where do we go from here? Will I be back next year? Did Homo cry like a little girl in the locker room last night? These are questions that have no answers. Except for the Homo crying one. The answer to that is "OH God yes."

That reminds me. One final Homo story for the road:

As Homo sat by his locker, with this head in his hands shivering from sadness, tears rolling off of his elbows and onto his knees, I almost felt bad enough not to mess with him... But I couldn't resist!

I walked up to him, put my hand on his shoulder and said "Hey Buddy. I know how you're feeling. This is probably the low point in your life. You look around and you're surrounded by a room full of people you've disappointed today. It's tough to look any one of us in the eye and say "Thanks for practicing all year long and preparing, but it doesn't matter because I couldn't hold onto a football." As an athlete there is nothing worse than letting your team down. It's hard, I know. It's really hard. But on the plus side I saved a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to Geiko. Also -- Did you get my letter? Because I think I forgot to STAMP IT!"

He moved his foot as I went to stomp on it, but I think I got him pretty good otherwise.

Okay, thanks for reading everybody. It's been fun. I'm leaving the comments open, so if you have anything to say, just know that I'll be reading them.

Burgers,
Drew Bledsoe.

PS - Oh right. Almost forgot. I promised these guys I would plug THEIR sports blog. They're pretty good, if you're into like, sports related comedy. I told them most of my readers were just here to read the truth, they weren't here to laugh. Either way, they insisted, so check out StraightCashHomey.net.

TonyHomo.com has been a Straight Cash, Homey! production. For more information about Tony Homo, check out StraightCashHomey.net, right now. Like... RIGHT NOW.

And so it goes. For the real football fan, the season ends not when they play those meaningless last few playoff games, or the Pro Bowl, or whatever.

It's when Drew isn't putting on his pads anymore.

Don't ever retire, Drew. The NFL was nothing before you came, and it will be nothing after you're gone.

Dear Drew:

I'm sorry to hear that you will no longer be posting.

I cried like a man who had no burgers.

Please do the world a favor and keep posting. If you get a columnist job, create a new website please. My suggestion is USATODAYHHOMO.com . Or something similar. You are the cadberry award winner, you figure it out.

Thank you for the laughs, and best of luck getting back on the field: with Homo's performance, I bet you will have no problem.

Drew - you are my hero. I know that you would have been able to handle that snap....in fact I think your filed goal holding is third best ever behind Danny White of the late 70's and Don Strock of the early 80's. That skill alone should get you to Canton. Have fun in Wyoming and don't forget to not pick up a football until August.

Drew...you end the blog with never mentioning how you were an Oscar Award winning movie star in "Jerry Maguire?" I mean, come on, you were that movie. When it first came out I thought it was going to be named after you. Homo can only appear in cheap ass YouTube flicks while you had to make the difficult decision of choosing between pro football or becoming the next Marlon Brando. Maybe you can retire so they can remake every movie ever made with you in the lead.

Thanks for the great blog, Drew. You still have more playoff wins since Al From Everett's own Tony Homo, Bill Parcells, did the sabotage trick on Bob Kraft after 1996 than Fat Tuna himself has - Fat Tuna's one post-playoff win was in 1998's divisional playoff, whereas you, Drew, beat up Miami in 1997 (bummer for the loss in Pittsburgh that season), then rescued Brady off the bench in Pittsburgh in 2001's Title Game (take that, Cowher!)

Dallas Cowgirl fans are the worst. When Romo first started everyone was acting like he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Now that he screwed up, he is the worst! I like Drew and I think he is a good QB, but with that offensive line( and I mean OFFENSIVE), Romo did you give the cowgirls the best chance to win. But what do expect with fans the jump on and off the bandwagon as many times as John Kerry votes for and against the war. You all have no backbone. I can't think of a better way for your season to end! I just hope Bill Parcells comes to his senses and gets the hell outta dodge. You all don't deserve him.

You are truly a piece of shit! How many games as a "VET" did you loose for us in the red zone? This kids a rookie and will be a better QB than you ever where (well anyone that is half ass mobile will be better than you ever were). Hall of Fame.......which team that dumped your ass will you retire under?

At least Romo plays w/ some heart, unlike you, only concerned w/ whether your immobile ass is going to plowed and not trying to make a play for your teammates.

This is the funniest thing I've read in many a year. The dialogs with Tuna were priceless (but you didn't comment on his man-boobs looking like burgers ... how disappointing).

Maybe you attend the Pro-Bowl just to report on Our Hero so there's closure? I'm sure they'd let you down on the field.

Here's hoping you start this up again when you get to Oakland ... er Detroit ... er ... Washington DC ... er ... Tampa?

Drew! Please come back. I will tell the world why you left the pats; we didn’t have enough triple bacon cheese burgers to pay you. All these years we have been starting Brady because he has learned from you. You need to come back to bring the pats to greatness, not the joke of the league that we are now. Think of what you could bring this team to. People say or receivers are bad, but you could still throw for over 5,000,000 burgers in a game and 7 touch downs. We will fire all of our running backs and run 4-5 wide every play for you. This will give you maximum stat pumping time to play. We also will build a burger place faster that we change our grass to field turf. Just tell us what you need and we will sign you drew. drew I hate to see the next team you start for after you leave, look at your ex-backups, Brady(decent) JP Looserman (bad) and Homo(hall of shame creating worthy).

With the passing of this blog, today is the saddest day in the history of the internet. No amount of burgers could satisfy my hunger the way these words could. So in tribute to the greatest blog ever written, I bought a Tony Romo jersey, size X-Tra Small, and gave it to my 10 year old sister. I then tackled her, causing her to fumble, and subsequently cry.

That one was for you Drew.

Drew,

What can I say, except that you're a bonafide GENIUS! And of course, I should know. When I was crafting the offensive and defensive schemes that won the Patriots 3 Super Bowls, who got the credit - moi? Negative. Genius is pain - we both know it!

And now for the "Rest of the Story": It was absolutely brilliant of you to hand Homo that grease-dripping hamburger just before he went out to hold for the flubbed field goal attempt. You knew Homo wouldn't wipe the slippery burger grease all over his pretty white uniform! My only regret is that the TV cameras didn't pan over to you right after Homo's flub. It would have been priceless!

From one Genius to another Drew, congrats on your awesome blog. It was creative, entertaining, and in my not-so-humble opinion, worthy of a Pullitzer Prize. Be sure to bring this blog back next season Mr. RDB, because like you, it's a true winner!!!

Best,

Man
