ajzepp Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 ...by taking away Dick Vermeil's superbowl win a few years ago, KNOWING that he'd never win another one, would you do it? The more I see on this guy the more respect I have for him. Yeah, I know.....he cries. So friggin what? The guy is more of a man by crying, in my opinion. I laughed in 1997 when I saw that he got the Rams job. I've never been so wrong about anything, though. The guy knows football. He knows his players. And he, more than just about anyone I can think of, really did DESERVE to win it all. If I could go back in time and change it so that the Bills won one of the four, but I had to take away Vermeil's win, I just don't think I'd do it.

Who the hell is Dick Vermeil to me and why do I care if he never won a Super Bowl? 56657[/snapback] Well, what it's REALLY about is getting away from some of the negativity a tad and maybe having a positive thought about someone in the NFL. I can't find a whole lot positive with my team right now, so instead of continuing to diagnose what is wrong with them, I just thought it might be nice to acknowledge someone in the NFL that I admire. I know that there is a huge risk attempting such a thing on this board, but what the hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 If it meant taking away the pope's hat I would want a Super Bowl win for Buffalo. If it meant taking away my high schools books, computers, and all other resources, I would want a Super Bowl for Buffalo. If it meant taking away the invention of modern medicine, I would want a Super Bowl for Buffalo. Dick Vermeil? Who gives a rats f-cking ass about him? Seriously? Where in the WORLD did this thread come from? I mean, really. There are alot of "good people" in the league, just like there are alot of Ray Lewises. I am so confused right now that my brain hurts.

And Dick Vermeil? Really - who cares? Again, post whatever you want, but knowing the attitude of this board, you knew it was gonna be hard pressed to find someone to agree. And do you even agree? Would you NOT want a SB Trophy if it meant Dick fugging Vermeil got his taken away? Really, who cares... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that makes him more of a man? I just think he's emotional. But if it meant the bills NOT winning a SB so he could keep his? No way (in my opinion) 56922[/snapback] I think I actually intended to expound on things a little more in my post, but I was afraid of going the same route as 4everBills.....the traitor that he is lol. Here's the deal: Dick Vermeil cries and is very emotional, yes. But the guy appears to give his heart and soul - EVERYTHING he has - to his players and to his role as coach in general. I think if you can ever make a case for someone "deserving" something in sports, you can make a great case for him. Okay, so go back to the Bills superbowl years. Was I right there with the rest of the TRUE Bills fans for every super bowl trip and subsequent loss? Yep. Will I defend myself, you, and any other Bills fan who supported the team then and still supports them today? Hell yes. But as much as I would have given ANYTHING for just one of those teams to have won the ring, part of me can't help but also think that they just didn't deserve it. Those Bills teams did have a lot of heart and a lot of talent. But come on, everyone who lived anywhere near Orchard Park in those years knows damn well that some of the more important members of that team were living large off the field when they maybe could have spent a tad more time preparing as champions prepare, and not resting on their laurels. Their arrogance, swagger, and natural talent won a lot of games and gave us Bills fans a lot to be happy about. But it also gave them a false confidence that they could go the distance with players who had been taught to prepare by Bill Parcells, Joe Gibbs, and Jimmy Johnson. In other words, as much as I wanted the Bills to have brought home a trophy or two, I also want us to be the most deserving team. We weren't.

A head covering of distinctive color and shape worn as a symbol of office. The Vatican can call it what they will, but the way I see it, its a hat!
