The biggest crow-eating a Manning ever had

[RecoveringCowboy]

You will know I'm not 25.

This time in the season back in 1977, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had an NFL record 26 game losing streaks. Also the 1st team in the post WWII era to lost every game in a season. A national laughing stock. If I were a pirate, I'd be more offended with the Buccaneer team name than Native Americans about the Washington R*******.

With that background, Saints QB Archie Manning said it would be a disgrace for the Saints to lose to the Buccaneers. After the game, HC coach John McKay agreed.

During the John McKay coaching era, The Silver Fox just hated the “Indians” as they were called back then. McKay’s anger toward Stanford didn’t just surface in defeat. Even after his eventual 1972 national champions beat Stanford, 30-21, McKay said, “I’d like to beat Stanford by 2,000 points. They have no class. They’re the worst winners I’ve ever gone up against.”

To add fuel to the fire regarding McKay’s remarks, former Stanford coach Jack Christiansen replied, “I have no comment on that. I don’t want to get into a urinating contest with a skunk.”
