If Pete Hegseth were an NFL QB?

[BringMetheHeadofLeonLett]

I'm not thinking Harvard graduate Ryan Fitzpatrick, or Naval Academy graduate Roger Staubach are fair comparisons here, so sticking to some 'in the ballpark' choices - Which QB does Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth most remind you of?

 

 

 

Personally I'm leaning total ***** bust, so I'm voting JaMarcus.  The other addicts can tell us what a sad story it was later on.

You get up early to post this? Should probably stay in bed.

Cast your vote - he's gotta be better than a 1st overall bust in your eyes, doesn't he?

Is it really that inconceivable that some people fly airplanes- surely you have seen them buzzing around up in the sky when you lean your head back to 'pick a winner', right?

 

Funny you should bring up pilots in a Pete Hegseth thread, apparently he's not... leaving a good taste in the mouth of our fighter pilots - but who needs them when we've got Pete Hegseth defending the nation

Ryan Leaf, I reckon

Before seeing the choices I said Billy Joe Hobert - A guy who didn't study his playbook.

 

If he had he wouldn't have broken the law ... Maybe.

It's inconceivable that you could fly a plane.

 

And to answer your question, Mayor Pete is the equivalent of Bruce Mathison.

Nice catch - before writing it, BJ Hobert was the inspiration, the others were just add-ons.  I think Billy Joe COULD have gotten the playbook if he'd read it, but I'm less  confident in Hegseth- these are serious, base-level, at their core morons we're dealing with here.

Well, here's a concept - at the 4th or 5th grade 'Science Fair', while other kids were showing off volcanoes, tarantula terrariums, or the glass F-16 canopy their dad borrowed from his job at General Dynamics, I built a wind tunnel and showed off various airfoil properties. 
 

2 years later I was surrounded by Navy brass from NAS Pt Mugu watching me fly remotes.  I was bad ass- that's why they sought me out...  and probably helped inspire the feasibility of using drones- for better or worse. 
 

Got my license after saving up from summer jobs in my teens, and when I passed my checkride, I was told by my own instructor that I was a better pilot than her.  It was likely true, and it was also very kind of her to say.  
 

I can fly the snot out of an airplane- how's your parallel parking coming along these days?
