Head Scratcher: Josh McCown Mentions Detroit In Wandering Rant Against Internet Porn [VIDEO]

Just when you think you've seen it all, you come across a 2 year old anti-porn PSA starring Bears QB Josh McCown.

By the sound of it, McCown was way into porn, or at least that's what this public service announcement leads me to believe.  In the clip, McCown tells a story of taking a flight to St. Louis.  When the plane landed, the stewardess came on and said "welcome to Detroit."  Everybody laughed as she meant to say St. Louis.

Funny enough story?  Right?

But he wasn't done.

McCown then compared a flight worker mixing up St. Louis and Detroit to him watching porn.

"That's what porn is a lot like, you go somewhere that you weren't expecting to go" McCown said.  "You end up with that feeling of what, where am I?  I can tell you countless times where I sat at my computer looking at something, going through websites before and sitting there going, wait where am I?  Who is this guy?  If you're not careful, you'll end up being somewhere you don't want to be."

HUH?

So let me get this straight?  McCown has spent many hours checking out porn?  What man hasn't?  But then all of a sudden he didn't realize how he got to the scenes that were on his screen?  Was he mesmerized by the images?  Did he fall asleep while the videos continued to play?  I don't understand!

This makes no sense to me!  What did McCown end up watching?  I would venture a guess, but I'm not sure this blog would actually make it on our site if I did.

There are categories that he can click on.  Geeze, he doesn't even know the basics!

And, I won't even touch the part about where he asked himself "Who is this guy?"

With all the causes in the world, McCown choose to help denounce porn?  What's a little porn ever hurt?  Oh, wait in his case; he may have been watching more than a little.  What's McCown trying to accomplish anyway?  Is he trying to get porn banned?  That would be awful!  I would have no reason to have the internet anymore.

As for the Detroit reference, I'm not exactly sure if he actually compared our fine city to Porn but if he did, I have no idea what category he's watching.

He even played for the Lions for 2 games in 2006.  So, maybe it was here, where he watched the majority of his confusing internet videos--it's not like he was actually practicing.

I have no clue what to make of this Josh McCown anti-porn PSA, but I promise to keep watching it until I figure it out.

Looks like the next time McCown comes to Detroit to play the Lions, the media will have a whole new line of questioning for the QB.

Football players claim all the time that they have to "break down the film" to get a better idea of what went on in the game.  With McCown, you just got to wonder what kind of film it actually is?

Sorry I can't stop.  The jokes keep coming.  Quick watch the McCown PSA and tell me what you think!
