Bledsoe: Pity da Fool

We were just waiting for this... (AP) -- The last time Drew Bledsoe lost his job, it also was to an unproven quarterback. It worked out pretty well for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

The Dallas Cowboys hope Tony Romo provides the same kind of boost.

Brady replaced Bledsoe early in the 2001 season after a hit put Bledsoe in intensive care for a few days. He never got his job back, because Brady, then in his second season out of Michigan, ran the offense so well. The Patriots won the Super Bowl that season and two of the next three.

This time, Bledsoe is getting benched because coach Bill Parcells has lost confidence in him after poor performances.

I wouldn't get my hopes up yet Bill... There's probably a good reason that Romo wasn't drafted. Plus, a former coach had the same hope for J.P. Losman. We're still waiting for that one.
