Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get worse for the St. Louis Rams, SportsChat hears quarterback Kyle Boller is dating disgraced sex-tape producer Carrie Prejean. There is no clearer sign that your team is irrelevant than seeing your quarterback have to reach so far toward the bottom of the barrel to date a celebrity.

Of course, the same goes for Prejean. If she had managed to say just one thing of substance since her break-out homophobic performance, she would probably at least be able to snag a Chad Henne. As it is, if she had sold about  100 fewer books, she would be dating JaMarcus Russell. Even if she turns it around and wins a Nobel Peace Prize, it goes without saying a hotness bomb would have to detonate in her face before she could even get a look from your Tony Romos and Tom Bradys.

This coupling certainly destroys the myth that NFL quarterbacks can date any woman they want, which is fully 90% of the reason civilian men envy them. Is football really worth the crippled knees and early onset Alzheimer’s if waking up next to Carrie Prejean is the only thing you have to show for it? At least Boller doesn’t have to worry about getting invited to any pesky gay weddings. SportsChat doubts he would enjoy hunting for suitably fabulous gifts.

It is kind of fun to watch Prejean eat up the attention from TMZ while Boller just ignores the camera and babbles away to some guy named Chad on his cell. SportsChat loved that she couldn’t pick up on the fact that the “reporter” was insinuating that both of them are best known for what they do on their knees.  If Boller had been paying attention, perhaps he would have cared.

It is really not true anyway. While Boller is famous for 50-yard football heaves from his knees, there is really no evidence that Prejean is anything special on hers. And I am not sure that the “foot in mouth” position is considered sexy to anybody not on the Rams.

UPDATE: SportsChat just uploaded a Carrie Prejean pic, and has to admit she looks foxier than expected. Even with the bolted on boobs. But still…an NFL QB should have standards. As a general rule, if a woman makes Tila Tequila seem worldly, you can do better. And that advice goes across the board, not just for gazillionaires living in Lala Land.
