Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Watch Football In DC...
Posted by Joe T. October 23 at 5:56 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

Does the name Heath Shuler ring a bell? No? Well, ask any Redskins fans you know about him and watch them cringe. Shuler was a highly-touted quarterback when coming out of college, and the 'Skins drafted him in hopes that he would guide DC's home team to multiple Super Bowls. Instead, Shuler was a total bust, eventually getting laughed out of the league and being forced to find a new profession... namely, North Carolina Congressman.


Given his years playing the game (and playing it very well in college, even if he didn't pan out in the NFL), as well as his natural athletic talent, you'd think that ol' number 5 would be able to handle a pick-up game, right? Eh... maybe not. Shuler was chosen to be the quarterback of the Congressional team against the Capitol Police, and not only did he get shut out, but he threw two interceptions to the Hill's finest. Ouch. Hopefully he's better at picking apart legislation than he is at picking apart defenses.
