machine gun kelly Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 He’s 93 today and thought some of you might want to call into whatever station and wish him the best. He made mistakes, but he also brought us with those famous HOF players to four SBs. No team will ever do that again. Personally, he was very gracious at the airport after I took my boys to the home opener against the Pats. We were flying back home Monday morning and saw he and his wife. He shook my hand and allowed me to get a pick with my boys. A very nice moment. 5 1
BruceVilanch Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Loved Marv, he was a true leader of men. "Fight on, my men," says Sir Andrew Barton, "I am hurt, but I am not slain; I'll lay me down and bleed a while, And then I'll rise and fight again. 1
machine gun kelly Posted August 3, 2018 Author Posted August 3, 2018 Jeetz - That is one of my three favorite Marvism’s. The other is the obvious, “when it’s too tough for them, it’s just right for us”, and of course the old “Where would you want to be right here, right now!” Thanks for sharing brother. Anyone else once all if you wake up, please share you’re personal stories of Marv. At his age, we may not have one of our heroes for many more years. I hope we do, but no one lives forever. 3
machine gun kelly Posted August 3, 2018 Author Posted August 3, 2018 Nice one. This is fun to remember. I’ll jump on NFLR this morning, so listen to Dan from Tampa. Probably Ross’s show at 6am hour as I’m at the gym then work afterwards. God bless you Coach, and he was an over officious jerk. I remember that play like it was yesterday.
Beast Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I do believe the “over officious jerk”comment was when he was the Chiefs HC. Happy Birthday, coach. Hope you have many more ahead of you. 1
thenorthremembers Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Happy Birthday Coach. Met Marv when I worked at Walden Books at Eastern Hills Mall. He did an autograph signing for a book he wrote. Nice guy, very gracious. Took a lot of time with each person to talk and personalized their book. Funny story, I got an autograph for my Grandfather and sent it off to Florida. Two years later he called and said "hey I got this Marv Levy autographed book, thought you may want it." I now own a book that says To Don, with thanks and gratitude Marv Levy" My names not Don. 1 1

If you're like me, in a few years someone will tell you your name is Don, and you'll believe them. 1 1

He coached with intelligence, and toughness, but loved his players like they were his own children which is probably why he was so successful as a coach here. It's awesome that he takes the time to show fans that he appreciates us as much as we do him for the glory years he gave us. A very nice moment indeed!! and you and your kids will have that memory forever.
