one of my favorite things at the dawn of the internet was realizing i could finally read Larry Fleser again after years in exile. The first columnist to really influence my take on sports. A pros pro, enjoy the good life.
I didn't mean for that to come off as a knock on Johnny U, loved him. I just happened to love Namath's style and swagger, he was refreshing in a conservative, low-flash world of Unitas, Kemp, Starr, etc.
I watched and even though I read the recent Namath biography (a good read, FYI) seeing the story really reminded me of what a huge icon he was in my youth. Simply put, Namath was the coolest football player ever -- took the game from Johnny U crew cuts and black high tops to the modern world.
Exactly -- there are too many embedded local reporters who would have that story before some dude in Virginia, not to mention the high profile insiders at ESPN, etc.
You get a gold star -- I love this dirty town...
Maybe not a prick, but a bestselling author and TV studio host certainly points the needle toward narcissist
I am shocked by all the love and forgiveness for this mediocrity. You know who else was a nice guy? Not a single head coach with a Superbowl ring. This a business for narcissist pricks with a one track mind.
And coming of that terrible Giants game you could make a case he's not even a great coordinator -- this is an incredibly low sperm count coach signing guaranteed to fit into the new ownership's master plan to relocate the Jags
Agreed on Easley -- if he can stay healthy, he flashed explosive potential. In a scenario where he stretches the secondary, and we find a way to keep Stevie, that frees the budget to draft/throw crazy money at pass rushers
