The Iraqi quarterback - 03/07/05 03:08 AM
Ralph Wilson had put together the perfect Bills team, missing only a stud quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges, even the Canadian and European leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer to guarantee a Super Bowl win.
One night he was watching a war-zone scene in Iraq on TV. In the background of one shot, he saw a young Iraqi soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away. KABOOM!
He threw another grenade 75 yards, pitching it right into a chimney.
KA-BLOOEY!
Then he threw another into a car passing at 90 mph. BULL'S-EYE!
"I've got to get this guy!" Wilson shouted. "He's got the perfect arm!"
He finds him and brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. The Bills go on to win the Super Bowl. The young Iraqi is hailed as a great hero, and when Reid asks him what he wants, he says he wants to call his mother.
"Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!"
"I don't want to talk to you," the old Muslim woman snaps. "You deserted us. You are not my son!"
"You don't understand, Mother," the QB pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring
fans."
"No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. The elections are a joke, your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!"
The old lady pauses, then tearfully adds, "I will never forgive you for making us move to Buffalo!"
