So I'm guessing Jack Tatum wasn't available.
The Patriots hope to get defensive lineman Dennis Byrd of North Carolina State, and he is still on the board when the Patriots are up. Holovak tells the writers he is going to call Byrd at home to give him the news that the Patriots have chosen him. The writers listen in on the call, which went approximately like this:
Holovak: "Is Dennis there, please?"
Answer: "He's not."
Holovak: "This is Mike Holovak, the coach of the Boston Patriots, and I'd like to get in touch with him. Do you know where I can reach him?"
Answer: "The hospital."
Holovak: "Hospital? What's he doing in the hospital?"
Answer: "He's just had a knee operation."
At this point, Holovak wanted to strangle McKeever, his alleged chief scout. Things get even better later in the day when McKeever tries to draft a wide receiver. Slight problem. The kid is dead. He was killed in an accident a month earlier.
I don't think so. Tatum died a few years ago. Though his speech might have been even more inspirational.
He died this past July. I remember some espn stories trying to paint him as someone other than the cheapshot dirtbag, no remorse having sob he was.
Well that does it then, no need to play the game.Jets posters over at theganggreen and jetsinsider are already proclaiming a Jets win solely based on Byrd's speech...

So Byrd breaking his neck is akin to getting toasted by the Pats. Ok, but then what, Byrd never played football again, and it took him a year of hard work just to walk. So going forward with the metaphor, the Jets should be about ready to field a team by next December?
Good one Rex!
