I tried to bring it up on the movie/tv board and no one seemed interested. I DVR'd it but haven't seen it yet. I'm kind of looking fwd to it though.

I remember when Randall Cunningham was QB of the Eagles the sports press declared that the running QB was the wave of the future.

Joe Namath was interviewed about it. He said... and I paraphrase:

"When you're in a championship game against a really good defense there are a handful of critical points that determine the game. When you are 3rd and 12. The defense knows you're not gonna run. You know you're not gonna run. You have to drop back, step up into the pocket and deliver the ball down the field. The QBs that can make that play consistently win Super bowls regardless of their ability to run."

I watched it early this morning when I couldn't sleep.

I had forgotten all about the Bachelor III incident. As a New Yorker in H.S. at the time that he beat the Colts, I was in the minority in cheering for the Colts. The Jets had beaten my team, the Oakland Raiders, in the AFL Championship game.

It is sad to see how alcohol affected his life. It appears, though, that he, unlike the Mick (with whom he partied a lot), was able to straighten out in time.

I enjoyed the show.

First time I heard about how hard he threw the ball. You could actually here it when it left his hand !
