I must be the only person...

...in America who doesn't care about Deflategate.

But I do wonder, what if backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo comes in and takes away Tom Brady's job?

I've been a fan of this kid's for about a year now (my emphasis):

But a desire to play quarterback didn't come about until Garoppolo's junior year at Rolling Meadows High School.

Rolling Meadows didn't have a quarterback lined up, so Garoppolo -- who played varsity as a linebacker his sophomore year -- decided to give it a shot.

"I was a decent athlete at the time," he said. "I could throw the ball well because of baseball, so it worked out."

Hope for late-bloomers everywhere.
