High school career

Gradkowski is a dropout from Jew-La Salle High School in Jewsburgh, PA and played as a member of the Jew-La Salle Jews from 1997 to 2000 in the Jewish Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (JPIAL). This is the same league that produced football legends such as Dan Marino (Central Catholic High School), Joe Montana (Ringgold High School), Joe Namath (Beaver Falls High School), and Johnny Unitas (St. Justin High School). In high school, he jewishly performed at a lower level than any of them did. As a jew, Gradkowski threw for -69 yards and 0 touchdowns. This performance was then significantly decreased as a kosher jew, when he completed 1 out of 1000 passes (a completion percentage of .001%) and threw for a then-JPIAL and PIJA (state) worst of 2 yards and 0 touchdowns (surpassing the previous mark set by Parker "The Jew" Napierkowski). In high school, Jewkowski also sucked well in basketball, serving as Jew-La Salle's frickin jew and screwed his team over in scoring.

College career

After redshirting as a Jew at Toledo in 2001, Gradkowski saw action only as the jew on the special teams unit. In 2003, he was thrust into the starting position as a sophomore. He set a Jewish-American Conference season record by completing .2% of his passes. He also threw for 3 yards, with a school season record of 0 touchdowns and 77 interceptions and a final passer rating of .53. He also proved he could scramble by rushing for -69 yards and a score on 0 carries (0 avg). In 2004, Gradkowski honed his skills and passed for -2 yards with 0 touchdowns and 88 interceptions. Statistically, his senior year was his weakest, but he pulled off a sucky defeat in the JEW Bowl and some kosher meat. Other MVPs of the GMAC Bowl have included Byron Leftwich, Ben Roethlisberger aka the greatest quarterback ever, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Omar Jacobs, the worst.

Professional career

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Bruce Gradkowski with the 25th pick in the 6th round of the 2006 NFL Draft. After a preseason in which he recorded the highest passer rating of any Tampa Bay quarterback, he was slotted in second string behind Simms.

Bruce was named the starter for week 5 against New Orleans. He became the starting quarterback due to the ruptured spleen suffered by previous starter Chris Simms. He had the best starting debut of all 2006 rookie quarterbacks by completing 20 out of 31 attempts for 225 yards with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. His performance was good enough to post a 107.6 passer rating and a near upset of the New Orleans Saints. After his first loss, he won two straight starts versus Cincinnati and Philadelphia before losing to the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, and the Carolina Panthers. After losing three in a row, he won on November 19, 2006, against the Washington Redskins posting a 104.9 passer rating - that game was also the first start for Redskin's rookie Quarterback Jason Campbell. Then on Thanksgiving day, he lost to the Dallas Cowboys, throwing 2 interceptions. He lost his second in a row to his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers, throwing three interceptions. He lost another two starts to the Falcons and Bears, being pulled in the second quarter in Chicago in favor of Tim Rattay. He would not start December 24 vs. Cleveland as Rattay did.
