I'm old enough to remember when not a single NFL touchdown was ever thrown by a QB from Michigan.  

I'm not talking about in the Superbowl, I'm talking about in any NFL game, ever.

We've come a long way.

This from Benny Friedman's Wikipedia profile:

In 1927, Friedman joined his hometown Cleveland Bulldogs in the National Football League. After a successful rookie season in Cleveland, he had a spectacular second year playing for the Detroit Wolverines. In 1928, Friedman led the NFL in passing touchdowns, rushing touchdowns and scoring as well as extra points (He may have led in other categories, too, but the NFL did not record yardage stats in those days.)

Key quote:

"As Bo was sitting in Mirer's living room, Dan Dierdorf, a Michigan man, points out on the air that no Michigan quarterback has thrown an NFL touchdown pass," Jim Harbaugh's father, Jack, recalled. "Bo was taken aback at the time, and didn't really know what to say."

Drew Henson picks football, devotes his time to it instead of dallying in minor league baseball, comes back to Michigan for one more year with that team that was coming back in 2001, and holy hell, what could have been...

By the time he came back to football and hadn't taken a competitive snap in like five years, and when you think he still managed to make a couple rosters... It's infuriating.

Brady is still a success either way because he's got that work ethic. But what a waste the Golden Boy ended up being.

...you see, it was a Conspiracy man! you know Steinbrenner was a buckeye, right? I mean, man, he didn't want the team up north to dominate, man, right? so he makes the yankees too enticing for Henson to turn down, man, and that's how he made sure the 2001 season that could have been never actually happens... man

just kidding... #kindof
