  1. 1964? Packers were leading 13-0 final 2 minutes 4th. quarter. Unitas threw a 48 yd. touchdown pass to Willie Richardson between the goalposts. We recovered the offside kick and Unitas hit Richardson same play same yardage between the goalposts. Lombardi went into a knee jerking spasm. We won 14-13. I will always love you, Willie. Rest in peace.
  2. Cross your fingers for another late contract dispute between Von Miller, his agent and the Denver Broncos; a phone call from Dumervil to seal the deal.
  3. It's fun in the sun. Like the old days when Otto Graham coached the college all stars. Nobody gets hurt. It's only supported by the Honolulu Chamber of Congress and the restaurant hotel syns. It's a complete waste of time.
  4. Marchibroda was a "nice guy coach" who was gracious, gentle and all that stuff. Both Ewbank and Shula weren't gentle nor nice when I saw them coach the Colts. They were tough as nails and would go for your jugular. Marchibroda wasn't those guys and will never enter the Coaches NFL Hall of Fame.
  5. After the zebras pocket their earnings, don't expect them to read the rule book.
  6. Younger fans can even ask their grandparents how it felt. I remember watching Sammy Baugh shove it down our throats (1952). I was 15. Even their marching band playing "Hail to the Chief" was better than our marching band. Over the past years, I've been getting the last laugh and loving it.
  7. Italians have, like Bisciotti, a sense of goodness. We make love not war. We live by Verdi opera. The only thing on earth where the heroine dies singing.
  8. Watch this guy closely. He will give Perriman a run for the money come training camp for number one. Unless the FO drafts another speedster. No one wants players on IR but it opened the door for Matthews and now that he showed his talent, it's more playing time. He will take Marlon Brown's place on the receiving corps maybe Campanaro.
  9. No matter how great Pitta's desire to play, sit him. He fell down untouched. Can it happen again? You say "no" only if you're an ostrich. Pitta is past tense. It's Williams, Boyd and Gilmore next year. Why is the FO, coaches tugging on our heart strings. This is starting to read like a Tele Novela. Drop the curtain.
  10. This was a season plagued by injuries. Do great teams survive them? I think so. We didn't have the depth to compete. It showed up all of preseason. We wound up wandering through the marketplace searching for washouts early on. Going into a NFL game with Clausen or Schaub as your starter was painful. Next season we rebuild and keep Osemele and hopefully Upshaw. If the Ravens lose their good players, repeat performance and back to the open market. Not a great team next season but in contention. Maybe the playoffs.
  11. Always the win, John. I agree with you.
  12. If the front office allows Osemele to go elsewhere, I, as one fan, will curse the day. He can play anywhere on the line. Not since Jim Parker have we been so blessed. There is always money to be had. It is a matter of loosening the purse strings or pass the collection plate.
  13. I was born "Old School". And a damn good Happy New Year to you Stampedehero.
  14. Just don't start that Packer crap of jumping up and having the end zone fans get their money's worth.
  15. I sort of remember ( oh yea!) this guy, George Blanda, Detroit Lions. He came to every game with a hang over and loved it. He also kicked winning field goals. Old school perspective: it doesn't matter the night before as long as your stomach doesn't get in the way of the football, and it was Atkins, rest in peace bro, who broke Unitas's nose. He was a monster.
