Colts put backup QB Sorgi on injured reserve

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—The Indianapolis Colts have put longtime backup quarterback Jim Sorgi on injured reserve, leaving rookie Curtis Painter as the only backup to three-time MVP Peyton Manning.

Sorgi had been the third quarterback for the past four games after hurting his right throwing shoulder in practice.

Ummm…does anyone else find this kind of hilarious?  The last time Jim Sorgi was placed in the vicinity of actual football contact was December 28th, 2008 (Which was almost a year to the day from his previous appearance).

I suppose I can understand his predicament, the other day I shot basketball for the first time in a few years and the next day, I was pretty sore.  So, you know…I get it.  But, wouldn’t it be great if he hurt his shoulder playing grab-ass, or Flashdancing or something?  They don’t specify the circumstances surrounding the injury, just that it was suffered “in practice”.  That leaves the door open to all kinds of possibilities.

If Sorgi was smart, and I think that he is, he would say that he injured his throwing shoulder while he was getting nailed by Tiger Woods in the locker room.  Everyone else has been filled with Tiger meat, it seems…  Why not?
