    Regardless of his stats, or the fact that he was responsible for AFL credibility, the man was a simply great "thrower."

    I used to go to those games two hours early, because a friend's dad was an usher.

    I watched all of the QB's throw during warm ups.

     

    Nobody, Bills QB or visitors, threw lasers like he did.

    His ball was like a snap. Incredibly quick release, almost no trajectory.

    It was a string, whether a five yard out or a thirty yard post.

    He's in the Hall of Fame because he beat the Colts, but that man could throw.

     

    I also got to see him at the Rockpile in his heyday.  So pardon me for waxing rhapsodic, but Joe Namath was the most effortless and elegant  passer the game has ever known.   His passes were more poetical than mechanical.  If they don't belong in the the Halll of Fame, then they belong in the Louvre.
    And, lest we forget, he happened to win the most historically significant game in the history of the sport.

    Seriously, every time I see him doing a commercial I just look at him and ask why?  
     

    In his entire career, he only had 2 seasons where he had more TDs than INTs (and barely had more in those 2 seasons).  I mean he literally made the HOF over one game prediction and wearing fur coats.  It’s a travesty he’s in the HOF while so many other players with substantially better careers are not.  
     

    I mean he finished his career with 173 TDs to 220 INTs and a dismal 65 QB Rating.  

     

    For the space of maybe 5 years, Namath was the most famous player in football.  Somewhere in that sentence lies the kernel of his inclusion in the "Hall of Fame."  See if you can locate it.

    ..Hope that you are being sarcastic, but Trump would be washing dishes, if his old man didn't funnel him tens of millions, when he was still alive.

     HOW does one bankrupt multiple Casino's??? Trump Steaks, Airlines/FAKE University, etc, etc.....

    His sons are A-holes as well as he, BTW....


    Best of all, starting in January you'll have four more years to bash President Trump.  Ain't life grand!

  4. I met Johnny Bench after a Bisons game at War Memorial in 1967.  He had the dimensions of a brick.

     

    I met OJ in Lockport Memorial Hospital, where my mother worked.  He used to visit kids in hospitals around the area.  He was so ridiculously athletic that he seemed to float, not walk, through the halls.

     

    (I've met a few more, but I'll confine my response to GOATs and HOFers.)

    The original predictions were assuming no widespread social distancing policies. The new predictions are assuming we continue the current social distancing policies. You have to read beyond the headlines with this stuff because the media is notoriously bad at reporting science.

    The media chooses which "science" to report, and which "science" to ignore.
