Curtis Martin: Phantom Boyfriend?

have you ever had one of those friends who's always rapturizing about her long-distance boyfriend and how great and romantic and sexy he is? the great boyfriend who you never actually meet and who somehow manages to never visit, even though he's so thoughtful? that's kind of what curtis martin (giants running back) reminds me of.

in the short time that i've been following football, i've heard OF him but i've never actually SEEN him. he's been on the giants injured list since the beginning of the season. well, curtis officially took himself out of the game this past week, siting a bone-on-bone knee situation that was too much even for his high pain threshold. curtis martin, we never knew you....

curtis joins teammate lavar arrington on the puppy list (well, technically it's PUP - physically unable to perform - but i'll take the opportunity to objectify hot men whenever possible) who went in a flash of injured glory during a game against the cowboys 3 weeks ago.


i've gonna have to start taking the same advice that i give my mother regarding my boyfriends: don't get too attached to the players, because you never know when they'll be subbed out forever....

Hey Lidders... what team does he play (or not play) for. If he's a Giants player than he's obviously cheating on the NY Jets and Chad Pennington (the team whose roster he actually is on).

you heard it here first! curtis martin is INDEED cheating on chad pennington.

ok, fine. that's not technically true. what is true is that while i normally call upon an elaborate sysem of checks and balances (read: google) to confirm the teams and positions of the boys i blog about, this time my sytem failed me.

as a punishment, i think i should be stuck in a closet with curtis martin so that i can apologize to this might jet directly. at long length. profusely. from the bottom of my heart. i'll even buy him brunch afterwards....
