It appears safe to end the David Greene-Peyton Manning comparisons

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a pretty harsh article about former UGA quarterback David Greene's pro career with the Seattle Seahawks, and how he's not even cutting it as a third-stringer.

This preseason was to be David Greene's opportunity, his chance to prove the Seattle Seahawks weren't faulty in using a third-round draft pick on him two years ago.

If Greene could prove himself a viable backup, maybe team president and general manager Tim Ruskell wouldn't regularly be scanning the wavier wire for an available veteran quarterback.

If Greene could show the confidence and ability to lead Seattle's offense, coach Mike Holmgren wouldn't be so cautious with second-string quarterback Seneca Wallace, and perhaps take advantage of Wallace's athleticism in other ways.

Greene's first chance came in Seattle's second preseason game at Green Bay — and it was a failure.

The essence of being a college football fan is schadenfreude, a German word that has no direct English equivalent and means taking pleasure from other people's misfortune. It's why I was giggling like a retard who was handed a coloring book after reading that article.

Anybody hear how D.J. Shockley is doing with the Falcons? Oh, I remember now.
