Say what you will about Green’s (in)ability to take a hit, Jason Taylor, but DO NOT belittle the scrambled egg in the process…

I think we all love McDonald’s Egg McMuffins. We all love a good omlette. But if you’re an NFL quarterback about to start over with a new franchise, I don’t think you want your manhood to be compared to the main ingredients in those dishes, especially by the team’s franchise defensive player. Nevertheless, that’s what happened to often-concussed new Miami Dolphins‘ QB Trent Green, who had Jason Taylor proclaim that Green’s brain would be scrambled eggs after his first big hit. From Sports Illustrated:

“This is off the record–oh, what the hell, it’s on the record: He’d better not get hit. One big hit, and he could be scrambled eggs.”

Part of me can sympathize with Taylor’s pessimism about his new QB’s manhood, considering he’s been in Miami through previous QB regimes including the ultimate meat and potatoes guy, Joey Harrington. But good God, this is probably not the best way to welcome your new signal caller into town. And if Trent Green’s brain is going to be scrambled eggs after getting hit, what the hell would Ricky Williams’ brain be right now after doing his best Thurgood Jenkins? Quaker Instant Oatmeal perhaps?

I guess I’ll leave these important issues for Jason Taylor to touch upon.
