Before my time but everyone I know who did see him play agrees with you.
I can't recall the cartoonist - I think he just went to the Sun when NA shut down. But it was so funny (to me at least).
He made full-page cartoons like what Peb does on the DRF for the big days.
But his was full of little gags and references. The '84 showed as if you were on the clubhouse turn looking over the entire track. In the front by the track turn were a bunch of filly "Swale groupies".
Behind the backstretch, you could see this truck. There was a fat face in the driver's window with squinty eyes. The side of the truck said
--IRSAY HORSE MOVERS--
We specialize in Colts
I know it's sad but it cracked me up!
Trust me - next year there will be serious talk of lifting the 5 year waiting period to induct Cowher.
I heard the Steelers team trainer and equipment manager are also on next years list of HOF candidates . . . . . .
Really? I thought since they changed the name they'd avoid that "whole history" thing.
I mean, we didn't use the "Browns" name and they're totally separate (thank God; who WANTS a stupid name like that that conjures up images of something in a toilet).
(OT: Of course, the funny thing is both our teams have come from "Browns"!)
No, but your next coach was nominated. ;-)
That's what I thought as well. It's interesting how the Brown's history will forever have those "missing years".
My gut tells me you're right.
"No, but your next coach was nominated. ;-)"
What did I miss? Who would that be?
They never even thought to put a clock on hang time until Ray Guy showed up.
No other linemen should be elected into the Hall of Fame until Russ Grimm AND Joe Jacoby walk through that door.
Russ Grimm is the O-line coach for the Steelers and is considered to be high on the list of candidates for head coach.
The fact that Art Monk is not yet in is a travesty.
Not only is Drew Pearson not in the HOF (though Lynn Swann is with very similar statistics) he is not even in the Ring of Honor.
Monk, Tagliabue, Kuechenberg, Guy should be in.
maybe Dent and Derrick Thomas
Ok. Thanks.
Yes, Art Monk held a bunch of records until Rice.
Why should that piece of s*** tagliabue get in?
Your prejudice is showing..... ;-)
Yeah, well the guy was jack kent cooke's butt boy and pretty much despised outside of D.C.
If not for Al Lerner, Balto. would still be without a team.
Biased? You bet I am. :-)
