Because the air pressure in space is zero, i.e. a vacuum, so the internal pressure inside your body is no longer being balanced by the external pressure. Actually, many things would happen to you in this situation, including death.

Can a blowgun be fired in space by quickly exhaling air and then putting your air helmet back on and would you hear anything at all?

Yes you can but your lungs will quickly rupture due to the sudden pressure difference in outer space. A Blowgun can be heard in space however as soon as you take off your space helmet to exhale air your blood will boil in 10 seconds and as a result you'll suffer from air embolisms and sudden explosive decompression almost immediately. So yes it is possible to use a Blowgun in space provided that you exhale quickly in 5 seconds and have an extra supply of oxygen available and at the same time closing your eyes to avoid bursting eyeballs. All of this must be done by the time you open your space helmet and put the blowgun to your mouth and fire otherwise you definitely will die instantly. The sound will be similar to a burp or exhaling air from your nostrils as you fire the weapon in space.

Why do quarterbacks take off their helemt and put on caps?

It keeps the sweat out of their eyes. Football players sweat a lot under those helmets and when they take them off, it will roll into their eyes. Some guys wear the skull caps under their helmets for the same reason, and so that their helmet doesn't pull their hair out when they take it off.
