“He was born in Dearborn, Michigan.”
So? There is far more to being an American than birthplace.
Tell him what he's won Johnny Donovan! "Why it' a brand new , all expense paid, place in the unemployment line!".
Jeez….Jerrod Mayo is looking over his shoulder today! LOL
“ Was Woody Johnson the owner when Belichik stiffed the Jets back in the ‘90s?”
Anyone with the name “Woody Johnson” really should be Kamala’s running mate.
Gibron was one of the most recognizable and colorful characters in NFL history. In Chicago, he quickly became the city’s most popular sports figure, paving the way for subsequent marketing with a Ford commercial filmed with a model named Melody.....snip....
Listed at 5-feet-11-inches and 250 pounds as a guard and nose tackle from 1949 to ’59, he weighed more than 300 pounds before he became head coach of the Bears. Yet he used to race players and often beat them in short sprints despite his shape and age......snip....
Former Cleveland Browns coach Paul Brown once said Gibron “had the fastest and quickest charge I ever saw.” When he played guard fro m 1950 to ’56, the Browns won three NFL championships and played in six title games. Gibron went to four Pro Bowls before ending his career with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1957 and the Bears in 1958 and ’59. That he failed to make the Hall of Fame was a particular disappointment to him. The official NFL Encyclopedia just published lists him among the 300 best players of all time......snip....
Born Sept. 22, 1925 in Michigan City, Ind., to Lebanese immigrants, Gibron joined the Marines when he was 18 and went to Valparaiso and Purdue after World War II. He kept his permanent home in Michigan City while staying in a Chicago apartment or hotel during football season. His father worked in a foundry and gave him this advice: “Dance as fast as you can dance. Run as far as you can run. Drink as much as you can drink. Do what you can. Be as big as you are.”
I would agree with you about the Bills receivers and comment that they seem to have hands of stone.
It’s the same as the last playoff game.
Allen hits them in the hands and they dropped them
His grandfather, Lt. Col. Edward Wesley Rodgers, flew 44 bombing missions over Germany in WWII before becoming a prisoner of war--he is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Saleh was for the most part a cheerleader and an apologist for mediocre effort, and the culture he created lacked discipline snd accountability.
In 1980, 60% of Lebanon was Christian, and Beirut was known as The Paris of the Middle East.
Now Paris is The Beirut of Europe
Outstanding response, gator.
I completely missed that.
The Israeli mossad/mafia does not miss.
Good thing they only interfere in our sports and not our politics or media.
If in a few years from now, Israel creates “Greater Israel” as many powerful Israelis advocate, people will look back over the Christian depopulation of Lebanon and say, “Boy, did Israel get lucky that happened!”
1. Saleh was fired at the direction of the team's owner, Robert "Woody" Johnson.
2. Johnson hadn't been involved in Saleh's hiring in the first place, as he had ceded control of the team to his brother temporarily while Johnson was serving as the U.S. ambassador to the U.K. under President Trump.
3. It sounds like this was all about a power struggle between Saleh and Aaron Rodgers.
THE END.
