  1. Good for Motor. I will always be a fan of his.
  2. I find it odd/amusing to see so many people propping up Chad Hall as some kind of coaching guru. What gives?
  3. Fun Fact #2: Australia and New Zealand are separate countries. 😄
  4. Fun Fact: American Pit Bull Terriers are illegal down here in NZ.

  5. After the Tyler Dunne character hit-piece on McDermott came out, I listened to an episode of One Bills Live, where Steve Tasker compared the situation to what Chuck Dickerson did to Marv Levy. He said it was the first time he publicly spoke about it. I've just gone back and found the episode. (December 8th.) Here's a link to it. (The part I'm referring to begins at 42:20) https://omny.fm/shows/one-bills-live-1/obl-12-8-final-updates-ahead-of-bills-at-chiefs-gr I've also found a transcript of the show, which I've copied below. He brought Chuck Dickerson in and Chuck was a pretty good coach, and he liked it. And then and Marv was full of He was as honest as the day is long. He told the truth to my knowledge, as long as I know him. He still does when he's now that he's ninety eight. And I learned that that was really important because at a certain point something happened in our team where the coach I mentioned left the team was fired, and it came out that he had been going sub sabotaging Marv's head coach, head coaching from within by talking to the owner behind Marv's back and trying to position himself as the head coach of the Buffalo bills. Marv did nothing at the time, but when the when the guy, he gave the guy enough rope to hang himself, which he did, Marv released him and fired him. And then the guy completed the betrayal by going on this radio station years and years ago, you know, twenty five years ago and assassinating the character of Marv and the coaching staff and the player. He completely betrayed all of us in this building with his everyday radio show. And he affected your job too, because you were working for the station back then too, and it was possible for you, right so, and Marv, I think he responded when when the media it was so outrageous that things the guy was saying and Marv wasn't would not comment on. And finally Marv gave a short reply to you know, ques the media question. The media was relentless and wanting Marv to fire back, and Marv refused and refused and refuse to refuse, and finally he did and gave a speech about, you know, defending himself. And so that to me was the biggest lesson in character, perseverance, and integrity I've ever witnessed, in the face of absolute personal attack for no other reason than it was a personal vendetta, and for another reason that it was a hugely public and an attempt to humiliate a really good man, publicly humiliate him and really sabotage his career and his life and the whole thing, His wife, his daughter, the whole thing. They were after all of it, and he refused to buckle and fight back and with anything but integrity, grace, and forgiveness. I'll never forget it. It was something that really, for the longest time, and even to this day, I've never really spoken like this publicly about what happened to Marv and Chuck Dickerson's attacks and the totally unfounded nature of all of it. I've never really spoken publicly about it. But I've never witnessed a greater example of character and fortitude and courage and grace and mercy than I did with Marv Levy. This is how I'll remember Chuck Dickerson.
  6. RIP and God bless, Chuck. That said, I thought he was a crap-stirring blowhard, who seemed to get off on being divisive.
  7. I didn’t. Feeling a little sensitive?
  8. I get what you’re saying, but don’t lump the rest of us in with American gun violence.
  9. Great news! Good luck and all the best!
