TheDC gives Kyle Orton some new career suggestions

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Kyle Orton threw a first-down interception on what could have been a winning two-minute field goal drive to end last night’s 24-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Orton’s interception ended the Cowboys season without a playoff bid, and sent the Eagles on to play the Saints in the first round (but at least Dallas covered the spread, thankfully).

Orton, 31, backed up Tony Romo this season until getting the start this week with Romo sidelined due to back surgery. The bearded, beefy, longhaired second-stringer didn’t exactly score any points with his boss. Here’s Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reacting to Orton’s season-ending interception:

We’re guessing that wasn’t Sunday church language. Also, somebody in Jones’ booth was taking off their shirt.

Now that Kyle Orton is a walking disgrace in America’s number-one death penalty state, he should probably look into some other career options that don’t involve him returning to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex anytime soon. The Daily Caller has compiled some career suggestions for him, based solely on his appearance and his utter failure as a human being.

1. Weed dealer at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh

With a puffy green parka, a pair of K-Mart Aviators, and a used Nissan Versa, Orton would fit right into the drug trade at Wisconsin’s third largest university. Living off-campus with your roommate’s 29-year old brother, Orton could meet you in the parking lot behind Chipotle and cop you an eighth for $60, just after he gets the car back from his girlfriend, who needs it because she works part-time in Sunset Point now. “Don’t slam my door, bro,” the onetime All-Big Ten playcaller would say as you squeeze yourself into his passenger seat. “This shit’s mad dank. My buddy just got it in from Cali. You’ll want to keep this shit refrigerated. Enjoy, son.”

Oh, yeah, and are you going to the Ratdog show on the Commons this weekend? Former fourth-round pick Kyle Orton will be there and will probably have some shrooms, so hit him up early because his buddies from Madison are coming and they’ll want to tailgate so if you can’t reach Kyle Orton, here, take one of their numbers and hit them up. It’ll be $40 for two grams. Peace.

2. Professional “Magic: The Gathering” player

Kyle Orton is no mere mortal, but rather a Level 8 planeswalker who can do battle with some of the fiercest wizards in the entire “Magic” online tournament community. Operating out of his dad’s basement in an undisclosed location, Orton instills fear in his opponents throughout the plane of Dominaria, sometimes seizing the artifact of Mirari in less than seventy moves before his stepmom comes down to tell him to turn the computer off and pick his little brother up from band practice. Will former Denver Bronco Kyle Orton help the Mirrans defeat the evil Phyrexians? Only time will tell.

3. Dax Shepard impersonator

Throwing a formal event and need onetime “Punk’d” cast member Dax Shepard to show up? Unfortunately, the popular comedian and star of “Idiocracy” is busy taking meetings in Hollywood. But Kyle Orton is available – or almost certainly will be by the time the Cowboys announce their 2014 roster cuts. Whether it’s a Bar Mitzvah, a roller disco birthday party, a Delta Chi rager, or simply a Dax Shepard fan party, backup quarterback Kyle Orton will be there pretending to be Dax Shepard. Just tell him when to get there and throw him some leftover pepperoni slices when you’re done.

4. Starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
