[quote]He wants length and girth. [/quote]
I'm 5'11" and at the time I was 270 and 50 years old. As I said earlier, I have no idea what my 40 and vertical leap are, but it's safe to say that my sub-5.00 days are many years and many pounds ago....

I don't know what my 40 time is these days since all my running is aerobic, but I did more bench press reps (touching my chest and locking my elbows) than half the offensive and defensive linemen at last years' combine, not to mention all the skill guys, and I'm too small to have ever played lineman...

[quote]To be fair Namath was a pretty good QB. The way his gameplan worked against the Colts in SB3 was a thing of beauty and he led the Jets to the most important win in NFL history. So yes if he says Brady is the best ever??? Well...........[/quote]

[quote]Immediately after the game I thought it was a really really really horrible call but I'm now of the opinion that it wasn't that bad of a call to pass it. (The play call is another story). [/quote]
It was also a great, great play by Butler and Browner. I heard a football analyst say that in ...

The Black quarterback is no longer a novelty, so why would you hear his race mentioned? I'm not sure what you're getting at. Jackie Robinson's race was mentioned but Larry Doby's wasn't. Sylvester Croom's race was mentioned but Ke...

[quote]Bart Starr played in an era that predated weight training. He doesn't belong in the same conversation with Ryan Leaf, much less Tom Brady. [/quote]

IMO, the biggest improvement in track and field is the synthetic tracks.
In 1936, Jesse Owens set the world record in the long jump at the Big Ten Championships. His mark stood as the world record for 25 years, the Big Ten record until 2010, the school record until 2013 and would have won the 201...
re: Brady gives Superbowl truck to Butler

It's a nice gesture, but now Brady won't have to pay taxes on a truck that he would probably have never driven, and Butler will have to pay those taxes....

What the hell are you talking about. He played in the 1960's and the NFL was fully integrated by then, with Grambling sending more players to the NFL than LSU or Alabama.
