What, Babe Laufenberg wasn't available?
As a sportswriter people are always coming up to me and asking me questions like:
"Jim, what's former scrub NFL quarterback Gary Hogeboom up to these days?"
For years, I had no answer. Until now.
Gary Hogeboom, who somehow managed to survive the final cut of training camp for 10 years, will now put those skills to use on this season's edition of Survivor.
What's harder? Surviving the jungles of Guatemala or convincing the coach that you deserve a roster spot despite career numbers (49 TDs, 60 ints) that would make Browning Nagle cringe?
Now that I think about it, Hogeboom's got to be the favorite here.

Meanwhile, Danny White's back at quarterback for the Cowboys. Oh, wait, that #11 is Drew Bledsoe. I have a feeling White might've fared better. Plus he would give them that pass-punt dual threat.

I read somewhere that Hogeboom tried to keep his past a secret on the island. Not that I'd know Hogeboom's face in line at the grocery store, but don't you think his last name would have tipped SOMEBODY off?
