Burns finally gets a taste of his own medicine

Brewster Burns, red-hot for 2012, came into Sunday having thrown numerous TD passes with no interceptions. All that changed Sunday when Burns finally met his match and had to throw against himself.

The showdown was set up when Steve LaBossiere and Ted Tibbets picked teams and announced to Burns,"The teams are fine, but we have no place for you."

When it was clear that the only solution was for Burns to throw for both sides, he found himself in a situation facing an opponent he couldn't beat.

"The guy's unbelievable," a frustrated Burns said after the game. "I mean, he's just so precise with his throws. I felt like I couldn't keep up with him. Every time I tried to match him, I forced it too much and make a bad throw. I just don't see any way he can be beat."

After the game, a triumphant Burns (and winner of the Square Toe Award) said that it was nice to finally match up against someone who was good as him. Burns was gracious in victory: "Hey, the guy's all class. He made some really nice throws out there. I kind of feel like I was lucky to win."

The defeated Burns was having none of it. "Look," he said, "the guy's just flat out better than me -- I have no answers. You'll have to find somebody else to face him next week."
