Football Harlem Globetrotters

I was recently joking with somebody that the Miami Dolphins are so bad that they should just get rid of all their decent players and become the Washington Generals of football. But that got me thinking, who would the Harlem Globetrotters of football be? Well, here's the two-deeps so far:

QB: Michael Vick Not only is Vick a perfect fit because of his dynamic speed and running ability, but also because he sure as hell isn't going to be playing in the NFL anytime soon.

QB: Brett Favre Favre would be a good fit because, as much as I hate to admit it, he does have the ability to escape pressure and make the defense look stupid sometimes. Plus he's like 50 years old and addicted to pain-killers. Now THAT'S gimmick we can take to the bank!

RB: Darren McFadden In order run all the trick plays you would expect from the Football Globetrotters, it's imperative that every member of the offense be able to throw the ball. McFadden showcased this (as well as many other skills) at Arkansas with the "Wildhog" formation, going 14/22 with 7 TDs.

RB: Sam McGuffie Since McFadden will most likely be a top 10 pick in the draft, he probably won't want to play for the Globetrotters. Although he's not even in college yet, this soon-to-be Wolverine is already somewhat of a household name, becoming an internet sensation mainly due to this video. Although he's still got a lot to prove in college, it's clear that he has the freakish athletic ability and ability to embarrass defenders needed to be a Globetrotter. Plus he won't make it into the NFL anyway (he's white, obviously), so he'll be more available than McFadden.

WR: Terrell Owens, Antwaan Randle El Owens was an obvious choice because of the circus he creates pretty much wherever he goes. Plus he's getting pretty old so he might be available sooner. Randle El brings the trick play ability needed for a Globetrotter and may be lured away from the 'Skins if offered more than the 2nd or 3rd receiver spot he's currently in.

Defense/Special Teams: The Dolphins will be so inept, these won't be needed.

That's all I have for now, I might work on this later, but probably not.
