My old man, before the season started, said he didn't understand why they brought Cassel in the first place.
He watches football but he doesn't get deep in to it like I do, spending a lot of time at message boards and the like.
So he says, "I thought that guy they had was pretty good". And of course I said "Thigpen"?!
He says "no, the other guy". And I said "Brodie"?! And he says "yeah; he has a pretty good arm and was playing pretty well against New England before he got hurt".

So I proceeded to explain to him Brodie's history of injury and how he wasn't a reliable option, and that Cassel gave us the best chance of the three to win some games, but in the end my old man wasn't swayed.

I'm thinking I should call my old man and apologize to him.
