NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

Yeah, that bit on Al Davis was crackin' me up. "Yeah, but can he throw deep?" Walsh was intrigued, I guess, but ultimately just couldn't part with Montana. Makes sense.

 

[CP1708]

damn elway was that sought after? 

Highest draft grade in history. And lived up to it as well.

 

[CP1708]

"Yeah, but can Elway throw the deep ball?"

The ****?

Caught the 30 for 30 last night.

So does Kelly LIVE in Buffalo now? I thought I heard him say that at the end of his little snippet, but I may have misheard. What a crazy story, going from talking crazy **** about them, to signing a contract, and playing in multiple Super Bowls.

To be honest, none of that would fly in today's media. Elway pulling the fake excuse "I'm a Cali Boy" primadonna act, Kelly coming at Buffalo any chance he could get. These guys would have had their heads on pikes and been roasted over a pit if First Take, Twitter, and Sportscenter had been around during their playing days.

at Elway straight ethering an AIRHEAD question from a reporter. "Now, you say you won't play for Baltimore, but you were drafted by the New York Yankees and they're on the east coast..."

"Well baseball's played in the summer, sir"

Happened in 04 Eli manning was suppose to go to the chargers so sd had to trade with the giants and that's why rivers in sd and Eli in ny

No I know, but Twitter wasn't around then.

Bill Walsh wanted to trade a before his prime Joe Montana to get John Elway.

New England was tryin to get Elway.

Al Davis was trying to trade up for Elway without knowing if John could throw the ball deep..........

Worse is Steelers passing on Dan. Art Rooney's biggest football regret

Just watched the documentary, I see that the league was screwing the Raiders on the Elway trade.

The most hated team in America

didn't get a chance to see the elway to marino 30 for 30 yet. was watching nba playoffs. i heard or read (can't recall) a story about the colts and elway. elway had mentioned that he did not want to play for the colts because of the shady move from baltimore.

 

[651akathepaul]

They hadn't moved yet.

 

[House Targaryen]

bad move for washington...but i get it. safety first, right?

 

[toast1985]

Dolphins shopping Davone Bess?

 

[air spider 777]

I hate Robert Irsay even more after watching that 30 for 30.

 

[100027]

Bad move in the sense that not injuring your own franchise QB is bad, yes

 

[Peep Game]

^Irsay and Dan Girbert can hold hands with each other and jump feet first into a woodchipper

 

[dmxfury]

I hate Robert Irsay even more after watching that 30 for 30.

Cranky, crazy old SOB. His son seems to have the crazy gene as well

But seriously that organization was F'd up big time

Jimmy might be a little crazy but I can deal with it because he wants us to win and spends the money.

Robert Irsay just ran the Colts into the ground. The 80s and 90s (until Peyton was drafted) was a hard time for the Colts and us fans.

coulda used more orange
