  4. I was thinking I would read a comment like this from you lol!
  5. When I used to be a part of them helping back in the day? YES. BTW!!! TY for the Ozzy Crazy Train Song. its so right it cant be wrong.
  6. In honor of his 100th birthday, I want to share my experience with Marv Levy. Back in 2003, I wrote the local best-selling book Buffalo Soul Lifters and was doing a lot of appearances at local bookstores for autograph signings. It was the same year that Marv’s autobiography came out and was the talk of the town all over Western New York. I was scheduled to do a signing at the bookstore in the old Main Place Mall one Saturday from 1 to 3 PM. A couple of days prior, I was reading the sports section of the Buffalo News (remember when we used to read hardcopy newspapers?) and it said that they had Marv scheduled at the exact same time as me. I called my publisher and asked him to look into it. He got back to me and said that they forgot that they had me scheduled, and they had jumped at the chance to get Marv. He said that I was still welcome to come if I so chose. I asked him what he thought I should do? I didn’t want to show up and look like a mook just sitting there across from Marv. The publisher told me that I could do what I would like, but at least I knew if I went that there would be lots of people there. I decided to go. When I showed up at the mall that day there was a scene unfolding that I was not prepared for. There had to be at least 3,000 people in the mall creating a snake line that went from one end of the mall and back three times over. The thing was, Marv’s publisher had greatly underestimated the public desire for his book and hadn’t published enough copies. If people had not pre-ordered the bookstore had none to sell them that day. People began coming up to me and asking me how they could get Marvis book? I told them that there were none available. No one was asking me about my book. Then I had a brainstorm. I took a copy of my book and I autographed it and put in a personalized note to Marv. I walked over and introduced myself to Marv and his lovely wife Frannie. I explained to him that my book was sort of like the Chicken Soup For The Soul, Western New York edition. I also explained to him that one of the chapters detailed an interview I had done with Jim and Jill Kelly concerning their son Hunter’s brave battle with Krabbé disease. I told Marv that I did not want him to be the only one leaving that day without a signed copy of a book. I also told him that obviously all of these people had shown up to see me but I would try to push a few his way. 😀 He and Frannie had a good laugh and they couldn’t have been kinder. As the day went on people continued to come to me to ask me how they could get Marv’s book. I told them that there was no chance, but they could leave with a signed copy of the book that Marv was currently reading, Buffalo Soul Lifters. Then I would motion over to the Hall of Fame coach and they would see that indeed, Marv had a copy of my book right in front of him. The bookstore had 120 copies of my book at the beginning of the signing and none were left at the end. Marv did pretty well himself that day. 😀 it’s a memory that I will always cherish and I can tell you firsthand that Marv is truly the wise, articulate and gracious man that you see on television. Happy birthday, coach. Here’s to the next 100.
  7. For the record, I don't think Dallas ends up trading him. But - woke up this morning and realized if they did surprise and did trade him - then we need to be the one to go figure it out and get him. What he would do for this defense, even with his liability as a run defender, would be franchise altering based on where this roster is at. Yeah exactly, he wants to be the one controlling the situation, told fans don't even lose any sleep over this - cuz there is no intent to trade him at all. For Dallas to trade him, it has to be because Jerry wants to, not because the player wants it. So I agree, he loves this and the odds of Parsons being moved are pretty low IMHO.
  8. Jerry currently has two players who want out so they say in diggs and parsons. Jerry laughed at them the other day when he talked to the media. He had some crazy quote about momma and daddy. jerry loves this, the cowboys are being talked about and that is the end game to all things Jerry.
  9. My Living room. I can scream, yell, cry, clap and so on without a care in life. the beauty of it is.. no bathroom lines!
  10. I think it's time for Boone to go.
  11. Obviously satire, but still a decent chance of being a Babylon Bee type prophecy come true..
  12. Wasn’t it Brett Favre who just knew the basics of holmgrens offense for years and would just sandlot most plays? this kind of thing happens a lot I bet and on both sides of the ball.
  13. It's VERY hard for someone who hasn't grown up playing American football to make the NFL. https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/american-football/six-rugby-players-who-switched-to-the-nfl-and-how-they-fared/tcvfdk7qtgdz12eyu70gziah0 I highly doubt that Travis Clayton ever plays a down in the NFL regular season.
  14. My Grandfather missed the 100th by about a year. Damn I miss him. Happy Birthday Marv!!!! What a wonderful life you have led
  15. Hmmmm, but strangley my predictions about 51 and trump continue to develop. Seems to me that if Putin said the things about Ukraine 4 years ago...oh, right, he did, everyone in the world would be concerned...America is about to be come a predator nation, not the defender of freedom. Congratulations!
  16. Yeah, I don't know Jerry's ego can handle trading a player who demanded it making it their idea and not Jerry's.
  17. agree with everything last year. Especially bolded
  18. So how did this work out for you...not mellow, 51 step getting closer.
