Is Colt McCoy the answer at quarterback?

Posted by HenryJames on December 4th, 2007 under Football

I’m not talking about his performance on the field although that is up for debate.

I’m talking about something much more important. Something that transcends the game of football.

That’s right. I’m talking about his taste in music.

The Statesman asked a group of Austin area athletes in different sports about what songs they find are the best motivators, ‘what they’ve got loaded on their iPods when they work up a sweat.’

McCoy was one of the athletes they asked.

He had two songs tied at the top of his list.

‘I Can Still Make Cheyenne’ by George Strait, and …

Wait for it.

‘She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy’ by Kenny Chesney.

she likes the way it’s pullin’ while we’re tillin’ up the land…
she’s even kinda crazy ’bout my farmer’s tan…

Are we still sure McCoy is the guy to lead the team?

  1. That is so awful on so many different levels.

  2. I prefer my QBs to have a hint of Yanni in their musical diet.

    And I see that Tony Hills is a big fan of a gentleman named Z-Ro.

    I have always loved me some Heavy Metal. But I’m kinda ok with the evidence here that Country reigns supreme in small town Texas, and that farmers’ kids aren’t all listening to Gansta Rap like their some kind of oppressed inner city subculture, cause their not.

    And as far as real toughness and Judas Priest songs go, I kind of go back and forth about Rob Halford. His favorite band was Queen and he did adopt Freddie Mercury’s leather biker look. So was he mocking metal fans, knowing they had no idea that this look was more Village People than Hell’s Angels, or was he really a tough son of a bitch, to have lasted so long as a gay man in a genre that really doesn’t appreciate that kind of thing.

    I guess on this issue, I swing both ways.

  8. Big George Strait fan, myself. Good for him.

    The tractor deal is just weird, though. I mean, a farm implement as a sex metaphor? Odd, that’s all I can say.

  9. Colt is not old enough to understand the sexual connotations of the song. He really just enjoys the tractor noises placed throughout.

    I’m a huge country fan, and I was devastated to read this. Aside from “Honkytonkbadonkadonk” that is basically the worst song ever released under the veil of country music.

    Somebody buy this kid some Dwight Yoakam.

    If you’re looking for something to do today, how about submitting your name for the NFL’s supplemental draft? Evidently anyone can do it, even Quentin Castille.

    Pelini unceremoniously booted the once promising running back on August 22 for the usual mysterious undisclosed violation of team rules, ending Castille’s shot at the riches and fame of pro football.

    I’m not backing down from that comment. He doesn’t have the kind of top end speed you hope for, but his ball skills are insane. Watching his film, I don’t see him outrunning anyone. But no one is taking the ball from him.
