It’s so bad, but how can I not like a Simon and Garfunkle reference? Now you inspired me to look for song references just from this picture:
Alternate captions for this shell shocked QB:
- A winter’s day
In a deep and dark
December
I am alone - I’d rather be a hammer than a nail, yes I would, if only could, I surely would.
- There must be 50 ways to lose your cover.
- And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that laid him down
Or sacked him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
“I am leaving, I am leaving” - When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found - I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why
- I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
- Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound, - [To the mirror:] I cannot feel my hand. You’re a stranger now unto me
- the concussion that was planted in my brain
Still remains…
Crowd reaction: Within the sounds of silence
His Offensive Coordinator:
When you’re weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I’ll dry them all
His sports psychologist/PTSD counselor:
We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files
We’d like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
To his offensive line:
Don’t talk of love
I’ve heard the words before
It’s sleeping in my memory
I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If you ever blocked I never would have cried
