The Resume

    (October 21, 1978- )
    Born in Portland, Oregon
    Birth name is John Joseph Harrington
    NFL Quarterback
    Graduate of the University of Oregon
    Selected with the third overall pick of the 2002 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions
    Has played for the Lions (2002-2005), the Miami Dolphins (2006) and the Atlanta Falcons (2007)

Why he might be annoying:

    He is considered to be one of the biggest NFL busts in recent history.
    As of the end of the 2007 season, he has been benched three times during his NFL career.
    He has played on some of the NFL's worst teams.
    In 2002 and 2003, he posted the worst Yards Per Throwing Attempt Average by any regular NFL quarterback since 1960.
    Despite being a grown man, he still goes by the juvenile moniker 'Joey'.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Some people felt that the Lions coaching staff and front office were more to blame for Harrington's failure than he was.
    He has established several charities in the Detroit and Portland areas.
    He was voted the Lions' Offensive Player of the Year in 2005.
    He graduated with a 3.23 GPA from college.
    He started in five out of the Dolphins' six wins in 2006.
    Following the sudden departure of Falcons coach Bobby Petrino, he said, 'We stood up there and took the arrows for him. He preached team, and he preached family; and then he quit on us. That's not what a man does...He lied to us. After the Monday night game [against the Saints], he said we all need to go home and take a look in the mirror, and see what we can do to make this team better. And then he left.'
