Corp000085 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 what a jerk... Lewis was convicted of trafficing drugs, and he's whining about when he'll show up to camp? Maybe he can also coax oj out of retirement and have the ultimate 4000 yard criminal backfield. "When he's allowed to show up here, we'll go forward," Billick told the Sun. "I'm not completely 100 percent certain when that is right now. God and the U.S. government only know." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2124263 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had several times run the score up on the poor B'gals in years past. And in unclassy fashion. Sam Wyche and Jerry Glanville of the old Oilers delighted in running it up on each other - they wouldn't shake hands or even give a nod after the game.

I remember Noll referring to Glanville as "Gary Grandview" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigB7184 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 why is he an asehole? He was told Lewis would be out and ready to be at camp by now. Wouldn't you be pretty worried if Willis was going thru the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Didn't glanville always buy an extra ticket for elvis to sit in, wherever his teams played?? 398479[/snapback] Yes, he did. He also started wearing the total black "Johnny Cash" wardrobe. Glanville was an oddball, but I can't imagine anyone questioning his football acumen. His pro teams played well and hard. His Oilers clubs, and before that, Bum Phillips', were supurb. Houston's problem under Bum was that they had to get past the Steelers, who had the football world's greatest draft luck befall them for a couple of years. Not a slam at PGH - owner Art Rooney and coach Noll saw it and parlayed it into 4 crowns. I'm always a bit dismayed when Terry Bradshaw isn't included in discussions of the great qb's. He was as tough as Kilmer or Van Brocklin or Nitschke, and had a cannon and also a fine touch. Remember when Haslett kicked him in the melon? Or when Cleveland's Joe "Turkey" Jones planted him head first into the carpet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I can't decide which coach I would like to give a swift kick in the nuts to... Billick Martz Tice So instead....I will line them all up and blast away can-can dancer style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finknottle Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 "I'm going to have to bite my tongue on this one," coach Brian Billick told the Sun. "We'll continue to deal with the process that he has to deal with. It seems to be ever-changing at times. So, we'll deal with it as it comes." A team spokesman told the Sun that it appears Lewis will come to camp on Monday, "but that could change as well." "When he's allowed to show up here, we'll go forward," Billick told the Sun. "I'm not completely 100 percent certain when that is right now. God and the U.S. government only know." what a jerk... Lewis was convicted of trafficing drugs, and he's whining about when he'll show up to camp? Maybe he can also coax oj out of retirement and have the ultimate 4000 yard criminal backfield.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2124263 398251[/snapback] So what would you, a non-jerk presumably, have said to the press when they asked you about when Lewis will show up?

I wouldn't give a stupid "god and the us government" answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Remember when Haslett kicked him in the melon? Or when Cleveland's Joe "Turkey" Jones planted him head first into the carpet? 398522[/snapback] I don't remember Haslett's hit (I have read about it), but I remember seeing the tape of Turkey Jones' upheaval of Bradshaw. That was here in Cleveland, so it was the mud, not the carpet. The problem with Bradshaw is he has become such a court jester on Fox NFL Sunday that people forget what a great QB and tough hombre he was. Only he and Montana have won four Super Bowls.
