    Yeah McCoy is a swell guy. Who among us hasn’t abused restaurant employees and left a $.20 tip? Going to a strip club with some thugs who get into a fight with off duty cops shows pretty good judgment. Then there was the ex-girlfriend that he couldn’t get rid of who coincidentally gets roughed up and robbed. I think he should go up on the wall.

    Off duty cops are basically saints. All cops are saints. None could ever act in manner that is anything less than virtuous and reasonable.

     

    Shame! Shame! Shame! Shady McCoy!

  2. Comparing qbs from different decades is an exercise in futility.

     

    Tom Brady v. Joe Dufek is easy, mind you.

     

    Tom Brady v. Joe Montana isn't.

    Joe Montana v. Otto Graham isn't.

     

    The last ten or fifteen years have probably been the easiest time to play qb in the history of the NFL. I'd say it started getting significantly safer when intentional grounding outside the pocket was allowed.

     

    Yes, the athletes on defense are better than ever, but they are on offense as well.

  3. I remember him taking on half the raiders bench in a fight in a game we were down 24-3, came back to tie, and then lost. Was at stadium, during one of the lost years. 85?

     

    The guy had heart.

     

    And it is bull#### that I had to scroll so far down to find this thread. Bit of respect, por favor

  4. I sell a ***** ton of wings in my restaurant here in Taiwan. I keep a stash of bleu cheese for myself, but use a Japanese Caesar on the side (kewpie) which is much better than ranch.

     

    Tried going the traditional route many years ago, but Taiwanese think, generally, that bleu cheese tastes like vomit.

    I think I feel sorry for him because I've watched the Bills ruin multiple QBs over the years.  

    It's a chicken and egg thing. I can't think of any qb the bills definitely ruined, but we have had a lot of bad qbs. Were they just bad or did we make them bad? Hard to say.

    Unfortunately it seems like all they've done is just delay re-opening and be more restrictive of their population than places in America have.  Now that they're re-opening more, they are seeing dramatic increases again. 

     

    Then you also have more authoritarian governments, like those in SE Asia, that just bring Thor's hammer down on it's citizens anytime a potential outbreak looks like it might be occurring.  

    You guys should look up Taiwan. No lockdown, just a competent government response and responsible citizens.

    I’m starting to come to the awful realization that an NFL season will almost be impossible to pull off. Thank you China for ruining that for us as well...

    Ha. I'm guessing you're joking? I live in Taiwan and life is normal because our government isn't controlled by demented power freaks averse to data. 

     

    One hour flight to China.

     

    People wear masks, take simple precautions, etc...

     

    You guys can't have a normal life because roughly 40% of you are bone stupid and substitute YouTube videos you like for education.

    As a diehard Newcastle follower, I hate this analogy. Sunderland is absolute shite.

     

    The fact that there is a documentary following their multiple relegations makes for some great viewing, though. 

    My Newcastle supporter friend from South shields has just become the world's greatest apologist for the Saudi royal family. Ha

    Makes sense from an epidemological viewpoint, but a non starter from a legal point of view.  Age discrimination.

    As for no alcohol at the games, I go for the football, no problem for me personally.  And, maybe I won't have to dodge the drunks when I do attend.

    Age discrimination just needs a rational basis. Legally, that is a pretty easy hurdle.

    Growing up in the 70's as a Bills fan, it is easy to forget how much we hated this guy.  He was the Bill Belichick of his time, at least as far as Bills fans were concerned. I remember my uncle, my father, my older brother all just constantly harping on how much they hated "Tubs" Shula...one of the reasons always cited was that he "cheated", and had the officials in his pocket, because of his role on the NFL rules committee... I had almost forgot about that.  But then tonight, watching Football Life, Dan Marino mentions, with a twinkle in his eyes that "yeah, he got some calls...but he was still a great coach" (paraphrasing).  Of course, Czonka shared a great story to the contrary, saying that one time a teammate found a Raiders playbook in his locker, before they were playing in Oakland. Apparently (I didn't realize this) the Raiders were one of Shula's Achilles heels during the 70s.  The Dolphins lost to the Raiders again, and as Czonka tells it, Shula told the players to destroy the playbook...he didn't want to win like that.  Cool story.

     

    Also interesting hearing Steve Wyche (a Dolphins beat reporter in the 90's) site Shula's inability to beat the Bills during that era, was one of the great frustrations of the later part of his career.

     

    Guess I am just getting old....but as much as I absolutely despised him, hurts to see all the greats of yesteryear passing on.  In retrospect, the way the Dolphins used to dominate the Bills only made the Bills pretty much returning the favor during the Kelly/Marino era, all the sweeter.  Sports are a lot more fun with villains....  and Don Shula was a great one.

    RIP coach. Still hate the Dolphins....but you have earned my appreciation!  If my brother was still alive, he would probably punch me for that!

    I was just about to post something similar. Seemed like the dolphins were never penalized back then. And, yes, Shula was on the competition committee. 

     

    I got around to liking him after we started to dominate. Would have felt bad for him if any other team in the division thwarted him. Ha
