Marv Levy, the countdown to 100 years old! (August 3, 2025)

Jim Kelly single handedly said Marv was the guy the got them up every week…if I’m not mistaken Belichick referenced Marv several times in his book also.

He saw it coming. The NFL and NBA have been absolutely ruined by over whistling. Whistles for things that have nothing to with the ball, a score, a gain.. We’ve become too accustomed to it. It’s insane. Obviously, NBA is way worse. Wild West over there with their enforcement/non-enforcement of rules. 

that’s my other favorite marvism.  I think I need to say that to my workout buddy.  He won’t get the reference until I show him.  I know Marv was too loose on the team, but still love the guy, and his intellect.

Marv Levy's a Centurian, and joins George Halas as the only other NFL HC to hit the mark

Any Marvism’s or favorite memories you have of the guy?
