scribo Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 San Jose Mercury News Columnist Tim Kawakami reports... Al Davis, after the cameras were off DAVIS: Here’s what I would say: When Shanahan left me, he went to Denver. He was there for about four or five years as an assistant and they fired him for insubordination. Dan Reeves and he had a big battle. He went to the 49ers and he learned their style of football and when Dan Reeves failed in Denver, the first guy they had was Wade Phillips, I think… then he brought Shanahan back. And Shanahan had success. But Shanahan has an asterisk next to those two Super Bowls, because they were caught cheating." Say what you want about Davis being crazy and all, but it appears the reporters in the room did not challenge Davis, which in journalism, is pretty close to endorsing what was said. I found one link, but it doesn't mention the Super Bowl: Yahoo! Sports apologizes for alleging Denver cheated Any one else hear of such allegations?
Beerball Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 According to Florio the reference is to cheating the cap. linkeration nuther link The second link is worth a look just to take a gander at the team rankings from 04.
