I admit I'm not a fan of much outside of college football, but I follow baseball better than football.
Still, Todd Collins! How does he have a job!?

Similarly, we were in the checkout line at Target last Sunday when I spotted a woman in a light blue jersey with 'Kitna' on the back. I couldn't tell if it was a Seahawks or Lions one -- sort of bad knock-off, I guess. I turned to my wife and said, "That must be an old jersey. That guy hasn't been in the league for a few years now."
One shoulder separation the next day, and he's back in the starting lineup.
