This time, Flynn is going to carry a clipboard for the New Orleans Saints. The Saints signed the former Green Bay Packers hero on Monday after they learned backup Luke McCown — the guy in the Verizon commercials — will need season-ending back surgery.
For Flynn, it’s a homecoming of sorts. He played his college ball up the road at LSU, so he’ll be able to relive the glory days by saying shit like, “Remember the time I led us to that national championship? Yeah… that was awesome!”
High five, bro!
The fact that Flynn keeps popping up on rosters is a testament to how great it must be to be a backup quarterback who has had a slight level of success.
