BADOLBILZ Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 In the lead up to SB XXVI the then Redskin Millen called Bruce Smith "soft" and questioned his toughness coming back from microfracture surgery and struggling to play during the 1991 season. He then rode the pine all game. Nowadays we know that microfracture is often a career ender let alone a procedure you bounce back and play a couple months later as Bruce tried to..............but Millen was talking out of hisass as a tough guy who played in a phone booth at that point of his career. Prime example of a guy who had life by the balls and lacked any humility during his playing days and then life really gave him a dumptruck full afterward. Arguably the worst GM in NFL history. Wish him the best...........definitely one of the league's characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 The guy had an odd career, but he’s somebody’s son, presumably a husband and father, with many friends. Wish him all the best! (Unless somebody wants to give him control of the Bills draft!!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) My favourite anecdote was he hurt his arm and had a calcium type deposit that kept it bent during his high school years. He later was deadlifting and snapped the ossifying mass off so he got full range back. Edited December 25, 2018 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be difficult during the holidays remembering your wife and loss. The one thing I remember the most from your posts was your posting of a clip of your daughter performing on stage. She was terrific. You are blessed. Wishing you the best for the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we all get older we become more aware of the vicissitudes and cycles of life. Some people are subjected to more setbacks than seem to be fair. Even with the losses there are blessings from those who are now lost but in life provided happiness and memories that can never be taken away. I'm sure you cherish those wonderful memories. There are many people who don't come close to having those blessings in their life or sometimes they don't have the positive perspective to recognize what they have until it is too late. I'm sure you are one of those good people who appreciated what you had when you had it and after you had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
