  1. If he's that good some NFL team will sign him.

     

    In the meantime he needs to file the appropriate forms with the federal department of  "Is this where I go to get my reputation back?"

    You have to be 80+to have watched motley with any real memory lol
     

    you would’ve had to been 10 in 1946 lol

    I am old but not that old. I have only seen Motley on film, not in person.

     

    I do remember seeing the Colts' HB Buddy Young beat a race horse in a 50 yard dash! I think it was a Colts' preseason game in the 1950s.

     

    Here's an interesting question: Who broke the color barrier in professional sports?

     

    Not Jackie Robinson. Several black players played in the NFL (including Motley and Woody Strode who played the black gladiator in Spartacus (1960) before Robinson broke the color barrier in professional baseball.

     

    Then there is Fritz Pollard who beoke the NFL color barrier before there was a color barrier. He was one of the first black RBs and the first black head coach, both in 1921.

    the screen name checks out at least. Creating a login on this board should come with an AARP card at this point. 
     

    you do know players in the past have worn “0” and “00” right?

    Now, now, simmer down young wippersnapper.

     

    Imagine: imaginary numbers.

     

    I do remember Jim Otto, the Raiders' center

    Sure, here are three peer-reviewed studies that suggest that sugar is not a healthy breakfast option for children:

    But I refuse to believe that a QB like JA only gets one shot where everything aligns properly.

    Dan Marino played for 17 years.

     

    He went to the Superbowl in his 2d year and lost.

     

    He never returned.

  6. It's a bad case of disappointed expectations.

     

    During the drought people expected the team to lose so when they did, expectations were fulfilled.

     

    This year, people expected the Superbowl.  When that didn't happen people were left disappointed and angry.

     

    This, too, shall pass.
