I interrupt all these discussions on deflated balls to bring you the following....

[vyrago]

Perhaps the rational for all of this, the NFL cannot tolerate any team being this good, this well coached for this long.. so they have to take away draft picks and denigrate their name.. and their lackies like Florio, Breer and the rest of the ministers of propaganda...QUOTE]

And don't forget Thomase and Felger and Borges and McMullen and shagnasty, etc-- traitors all.

 

[Off The Grid]

My old man told me one time that he had the "privilege" of watching Bobby Orr play hockey.

I think we can almost say the same about Tom Brady.

That's a couple of strange-@$$ things to say.

01 ~ There should never be quotes around that first. Bobby Orr's Magnificence defies description. His Star will forever eclipse that of Wayne Gretzky's ~ for those who understand Hockey ~ for exactly the same reason that Babe Ruth's will forever eclipse that of Ty Cobb: Bobby Orr did all he did within the Scope of a Defenseman. Have you ever watched any of that grainy old Tape?? Please allow yourself the Privilege. Even now, it is astonishing, the way that one man could take Command of an entire Rink.

02 ~ "Almost"???
