Which Former Lions QB Now Playing for the Falcons Has the Support of Gay Fans?

by DCScrap, Our Book of Scrap

If you guessed Joey Harrington, give yourself a noogie. If you find Joey as dreamy as I do, well then, join the club, baby. However, if you guessed D.J. Shockley or Chris Redman, then you just don't know your NFL heartthrobs. They just don't have the same style and charisma that Joey possesses.

But really, when you think about it, who would have thought that a baby-faced athlete who openly loves to play the piano and is really soft-spoken would be a favorite of gay football fans? I personally thought they were all in love with Tom Brady and his Stetson. Yum.

Outsports.com, a sports news Web site that covers news and analysis about homosexual social issues, interviewed some Atlanta fans about the ex-Lion and new Falcons starter at quarterback.

• "I'm excited about the season and yes, I find Harrington attractive. Who wouldn't?" says Gregory Hendricks, a gay Falcons fan in Atlanta. "Even my gay friends who don't like football, they like him. All of my friends who hate sports, once they see him they say, 'Hey, I'll go to a game to see him.' "

That's what all my friends say too, only it's "I'd really like to **** him in the ***." Pretty much the same thing if you think about it.

• Jonathan Karron, a season ticket holder for 15 years: "I've been through the good and bad with the Falcons. I've stuck with them through thick and thin. I want someone to help the team, not a hunk. It would be great to have both. But if you watch football, you want the players to perform. You don't watch because the players are hot. Maybe the Falcons will provide a clean slate for him. I am hoping they have some talent around him. I have my fingers crossed. I am always the optimist. I am hoping he can return to some of that college form."

You don't watch because the players are hot? What? Why the heck else would you watch a football game ... what planet is this guy from? I thought he said he was gay!

Plus, from what I hear Joey actually likes it when the guy's fingers are crossed, so he is already a step ahead of other fans.

• Mike Horton, a gay football fan in Atlanta who roots for the New England Patriots, says Harrington may change his perspective and prompt him to give the Falcons a second look: "It's interesting what an extreme opposite Harrington is to our previous quarterback. I like the fact that he's suave and polished, but boy, is he pretty. I think I might try to make a few more games this year."

This guy is a true fan of the NFL. We all know that the prettier the quarterback the better he is. I mean just look at Rex! He's the best!

• Brian Johnson, a gay University of Georgia graduate who lives in Atlanta, is "primarily a college football fan - 99%," but the "other 1% is saved for Joey Harrington and the Falcons. ... "I'm a Falcons fan only because I was born and raised here," he said. "But I wouldn't say I get upset when they lose. Harrington is hot. He is much better looking than Michael Vick, much easier on the eyes and the dogs."

I totally get where he is coming from. I mean with college football you just know none of those guys are "experienced." They have so much more to learn and everyone knows how much fun it is to teach them.

By the way, the photo above is Joey with his beard, I mean wife, Emily. Pretty handsome for a dude, huh? I am talking about Joey again. Keep up.
