Somebody call the wahmbulance. People just don't appreciate Daunte Culpepper's skills. Last week, he lost out on the chance to play in Pittsburgh because he deluded himself into thinking he would be able to compete with Big Ben for the starter's job. Now he finds himself sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring.
He works out and throws daily at his home in Florida. He also serves as his own agent, causing many to use the old line that he has a fool for a client.Hope Daunte has Sunday Ticket on his sex boat. It's a long season when you're sitting on your ass. At least he knows what it's like to be a Liverpool fan. You know with the whole not having a job thing.
...Instead of "hoping" for a roster spot in mid-August, Culpepper could have had one in April when the Packers offered him a one-year, $1 million deal.
"When I visited the Packers, I felt real good about the opportunity to back up Aaron [Rodgers] on a good team," Culpepper said. "I just sensed that when it was time to negotiate that there were some unresolved issues that kept them from giving me a market-value offer. I think that the Brett Favre situation was in the background while they were dealing with me."
Then why not take the Steelers' offer last Sunday?
"I just was not willing to take the vet minimum and no guaranteed roster spot," said Culpepper, referring to the $730,000 salary.
