Gotta love that shirt.Is Jake Plummer un-retiring and returning to make the NFL a fun place again?
Well...no. However, Jake will be doing something a little more constructive in Sandpoint, Idaho on April 11th. Jake and former Packers All-Pro Jerry Kramer will be raising money at the Sandpoint Senior Center to benefit the DayBreak Center for elderly Alzheimer's Patients and also to raise money for local high school athletics. Jake and Jerry have donated signed items for auction among other things, and there's dinner thrown in to boot. Only $25 to get in with the money going to two worthy causes. And you'll get to meet Jake! If we were in Idaho, we would totally go meet Jake and probably get thrown out of the event for being annoying. One of us had a chance to go ambush him at a handball tournament in California a while back but fate was not on our side that weekend.
Anyway, it's nice to see Jake giving back to the community, even if it's not our community. If we ran into him, we would probably ask an inappropriate and silly question about the whole Cutler fiasco...but even if he got annoyed, we'd probably get an honest answer. Idaho, however, is far.
In other Plummer tidbits, Greg Henry of the Denver Broncos examiner had the audacity (sort of) to loosely compare Jake Plummer with Kyle Orton. Hmm, why would that be? Oh, yeah the beard thing. Thankfully Mr. Henry (no relation to Travis) did not expand on this comparison and thereby sully Jake's reputation. Furthermore, the fact that the beard exists means little. True, it's cool that Orton has sported the beard--and we wish him to do so in 2009 and beyond--however comparing Orton's "too lazy to shave" beard to Jake's glorious hairy visage is literally like comparing...
