Iowa worst football state?

[Stumpy]

I don't know if I'd put Grandpa Warner ahead of Mr. Hobbs.

Really? Like...really really? How many MVPs has Hobbs won? Warner wins this one with his non-throwing arm tied behind his back.

Classic line about Warner!

Other good players not invited to wear yellow blazers: Steve Bartkowski, Ed Podolak, Bryce Paup, Reggie Roby, Don Perkins, Marv Cook, Don Chandler, Jay Hilgenberg.

Hard to respect a piece written simply for laughs. A serious representation would've at least included Mike Stensrud.

I don't know if I'd put Grandpa Warner ahead of Mr. Hobbs.

The article clearly stated that place of birth determined home state, and as we all know, Ellis is from Texas. DeSoto high school to be exact.

I'm usually listening to the call-in show at the beginning of MNF and not paying close attention, do they do player introductions, including school like they do on Sunday Nights? I wonder what Sage will say...

Nothing about that article came across as anything more than another pot shot at Iowa. Id love to see the state of the country if Iowa disappeared.

uhhhhh not that it matters but, no they didn't. They crashed north of Clear Lake, but not that far north.

and anyone who takes this article as anything but humorous need to lighten up. They're planning similar articles for 14 other states.

oh and Warner > Hobbs. It's not even close, even if Hobbs was from Iowa. Ellis is a better than nfl average db. Warner is a 2 time MVP that is in the process of writing his name all over the nfl record books.
