Published 10/12/2008 by Rick Paulas at Deadspin
When Dan Orlovsky was a young lad, he dreamed about this day: Finally making his first NFL start, carrying a woeful team on his back to victory, following up the post-game celebration by calling his parents to let them know that, see, he did make the right decision by turning down a full-ride scholarship to (prestigious school) in order to follow his dream of being a quarterback, a leader of men.

You just didn't know that it'd be a getting-a-safety-by-accidentally-running-out-of-the-back-of-your-own-end-zone level of bedshit. Final score: Vikings 12, Lions 10. • Being a Bears fan is ...
