I watched that. He was so pissed throughout that whole thing. I seriously think he's never had fun in his life

They had hyped and been setting that up for a long time too, everyone else went along with it.. Booger Pierce and Woody rolling up on Kanell was the best part

Who doesn't see four Super Bowl MVPs in this guy's future?

if not for brady, bill polian's career would look a lot better.

sports is pretty boring, but the insecurity here is so transparent that it made me laugh out loud. if he was a first round talent, and he's there in the 4th, 5th round, you take him. any gm would regardless of their qb situation or needs. good to have a contingency, and you can flip the player later for a profit so to speak.

If they had a first round grade on a guy who they see has fallen to he 6th round, why wouldn't they draft him then? At that point it becomes best player available and, if he's serious about the grade, Brady would've clearly been the best player available.

Polian is full of shite

Bingo.

Didn't read the entire thread, but I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have drafted him in the 4th/5th round. Did they have picks then?

And by hard to believe, I'd say it's impossible to believe.

If you have him as a first round grade, and he's falling all the way to the 6th round then just for value's sake you are picking him somewhere in the middle rounds even if you have a qb already. Probably something like the 3rd at latest. Polian is such a loud mouth liar.

Polian lucked on Mannning because the Chargers were idiots taking Leaf. He's been living off Manning being dropped in his lap.

Manning doesn't have the superbowl wins but it's a very good argument as to how great he was based on him carrying polian's useless arse.

They were never going to take Leaf after what Leaf pulled.

Leigh Steinberg wrote that even if the Colts were enamored with Leaf over Manning - (maybe) - Leaf did everything in his power to piss off the Colts. He didn't want to play in Indianapolis.

Surf or Ski, surf or ski...so Chargers.

According to Stenberg, Leaf had no desire to play for Indianapolis and sought a way to antagonize Colts management into no longer considering him for the top pick.

The Colts were initially leaning toward taking Leaf, Steinberg writes, and decided to go with Manning only when Leaf didn’t meet with them.
Steinberg also claims that the Chargers were in on the plan.

“I first cleared the idea with Chargers general manager Bobby Beathard, lest San Diego also question my client’s reliability. Beathard went along with the ruse,” Steinberg writes.
