  1. This is what sold me, per his wikipedia...

     

    According to Mark May, a teammate both at Pittsburgh and on the Redskins, no one lived up to the "Hog" persona more than Grimm: "He was a blue collar stiff and proud of it." In his 2005 memoir, May recalled a Christmas party at his house in 1982: "I iced down a keg of beer and stationed it on the landing between the first floor and basement. Russ turned the landing into his headquarters for the evening. He grabbed a chair and a Hog shot glass (a 60-ounce pitcher) and parked his butt on the landing next to the keg. Except for an occasional trip to the bathroom, we didn't see Russ on the first level all night..."[2]

     

    Sorry if already mentioned, the search function won't work for me.

  2. Interesting points, and time for a thread tangent hijack.

     

    Watching today's game should be a reminder of being careful about falling in love with Trent Edwards' game. Of the things you hope to see improvements in '09 is his ability to command the field and be more aggressive. Smart game managers will carry their teams to the playofs, but will inevitably fail once they meet playoff opponents. Pennington is now 2-4 in the playoffs, looking very ugly in the 4 losses.

     

    I can hear the critics now. "But, but, but. The Ravens won with Dilfer." Yes, they did, and Dilfer promptly lost his starting job soon after. Even his coach didn't have faith in him, because he knew that that team had a defense for the ages which could rival the offense in scoring.

     

    Other than Dilfer, which other game manager QB took his team deep in the playoffs?

     

     

    Brad Johnson

    Rex Grossman

    Tom Brady in year 1

     

     

    ... those are just recent superbowls, im sure there are many more if we look back at conference championships

  3. As blasphemous as it may be, im gonna have to go with Tom Brady. Neither of them have the strongest arms in the world but both are very intelligent players, they both stay calm in the pocket, and most importantly-they both come in, in the clutch being able to lead scoring drives when it matters the most.

     

     

     

     

    Edwards is able to do it all without cheating though which makes him even better

    . :thumbsup:

  4. As a younger fan of the Bills at 19 while I still hate the Dolphins, I have to admit that I hate the *Patriots even more. I have been exposed mainly to a domination of the Phins by the Bills and it is kind of hard to truly hate a team when you have been beating up on them routinely.

     

    The *Pats on the other hand not only have been beating the crap out of the Bills lately, but doing it by cheating and having a roster filled with thugs. Going to school in Boston only intensified my hatred as their fan-based is the most arrogant yet fair-weathered group I have ever seen.

     

    Im curious to know if the Bills could sweep either the Phins or the *Pats but be swept by the other, which would be preferred?

  5. Isn't it a better idea to try and keep the Bills out of the Pro Bowl? This only drives up their egos and thus how much they think they're worth as far as negotiations go. Jason Peters went to the Pro Bowl last year and look where that got us. Personally, I think we should go through and vote all Dolphins and Pats* players in.

  6. Did anybody else catch when they said "he was drafted by Buffalo, a team not on his radar".

     

    Im pretty sure everyone in the world knew that Hardy would at least be on the bills' radar. What kind of agent does he have not to put the glaring need of one team together with the abilities and measurables of another.
