The Big Cat Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 I just read JP's entry on Wikipedia and was fascinated to find out that he was half Mexican. In all honesty, the only nationality I ever assumed was that shared by Robert Zimmerman and Adam Sandler... Is there a precedent of ANY kind of Mexican quarterback in the NFL? Ole, JP! Y en este domingo, vaya con dios!
ajzepp Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 I don't remember a lot of it off the top of my head, but I know that when he was getting some press at the draft there were a fair number of stories on his background. I remember him having a pretty interesting upbringing, in addition to some of his rationale as to why he went away (from Cali) to college instead of sticking around home. JP is an interesting kid.
/dev/null Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 I don't care where he's from I don't care where his ancestors are from All I care about is what he does on gameday

JP is an interesting kid. 853980[/snapback] When he spoke to the "campers" at Jim Kelly Football Camp, he told them (myself included) that he transferred from UCLA because, as much as he loved his family and stuff, he was still living too close to them to ever learn how to be responsible for himself. ...that, and he was probably buried on the depth chart. But still, transferring from UCLA to Tulane was more mature than from UCLA to some junior college.

Bill from NYC Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Is there a precedent of ANY kind of Mexican quarterback in the NFL? 853958[/snapback] Yes. I am almost sure that Joe Kapp (Vikings) was Mexican-American.
Nanker Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 JP stands for Juan Pierre. 854035[/snapback] Yes, and his last name is Los Man, i.e., "THE Man"
Just Jack Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Did anyone contact INS to check his status? Wouldn't look good for the Bills to be hiring illegals.
hootie1 Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Tony Romo, the "it" quarterback of the moment, is mexican american. Real name- Antonio Ramero Romo.

I thought this was common knowledge by the time we were making our failed playoff run in 2004.

I always just assumed he was Jewish! peep the longevity of my TSW membership, then you'll know "where I've been!"
Chef Jim Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 You're just figuring this out? Juan Pedro Losman didn't give you a hint?
