2167249, 30 for 30: Elway to Marino
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Tue Apr-23-13 08:25 PM
Most of us are watching the Knicks and Celtics now, but I'm hearing that this one here is great just like the other ones are.
2167255, Shit makes Elways seems like the biggest bitch ass diva ever

He looks like every entitled white kid I've ever known.
2167301, looked like a damn genius in hindsight...

- earned a nice introductory payday with the yankees
- avoided the turmoil that awaited everyone dealin' with irsay in baltimore
- enjoyed a hall of fame career in denver, capped off by 2 superbowl wins
- made a shitload of $$$ along the way

2167707, It did at the time I'm sure, but seeing how much he won after?

And that the Colts were last place in the same year Elway won a Super Bowl 15 years later? Gives him a strong case. Just like Eli does now for doing the same.
2167257, That's crazy how bad that went for the Steelers

Coulda taken hometown kid in Marino but they take a DT instead because Bradshaw has some years left.

The DT paralyzes himself after 6 games in a drunk driving crash and Bradshaw suffers a career ending arm injury.

I was only 1 during this draft so I know the history of it but not all the details like that.

Also enjoy the Eagles taking a RB at #8 with the lowest career YPC in NFL history.
2167263, Lol...who was it? This cat used to get the rock and fall down?

2167316, I said WTF, they actually calculate that stat????
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Tue Apr-23-13 09:28 PM
2167332, is it that hard to sort by YPC in excel and look at the bottom?

2167395, Obviously not!! What I mean is....there has to be running backs
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Wed Apr-24-13 05:08 AM
who came and did worst, but they have to qualify it by minimum attempts or whatever, you know? So I wonder if they mean his average is lower than EVERY running back who ever ran on the field, even for just one game....or if it's only for those who played like a full season, or ten games, or had 50 carries, etc etc...that's all I meant
2167409, minimum 500 carries

2167706, Ok I knew it had to be something like that.

2167293, FUCK! I hadn't even got to that part yet but neeeeever knew that

2167444, man, if the Steelers had taken Marino...

the amount of GOATitude that franchise would be right today wouldn't even be funny. They would be far and beyond the "Lakers" of the NFL
2167280, I heard this is the best out of all them
Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Tue Apr-23-13 08:58 PM
2167283, It wasn't. Was interesting but not the best by any means
Posted by Y2Flound, Tue Apr-23-13 09:00 PM
2167290, another great edition to a fantastic series...
Posted by CyrenYoung, Tue Apr-23-13 09:07 PM
..great perspective all around

irsay was a fuckin' asshole (lol)

pittsburgh would've been LETHAL with marino

really sad what happened with gabe rivera. i remember watchin' him play, thinkin' that he had a great career ahead of him.

kinda crazy to think that elway almost ended up on several diff teams.
