Speaking of Ditka and coaching and drafting.....everyone knows the legendary Cowboys trade of Hershel Walker to the Vikings for 3 future Super Bowl titles.  It was a trade so lopsided that no one would ever repeat it....until Ditka did with the Saints.  He traded nearly an entire draft to get Ricky Williams.


No matter who he drafted, he didn't learn from history.  So he was doomed to repeat it.  Something no one else ever wanted to repeat.
Washington fleeced Ditka and the Saints with the Ricky Williams trade. The Rams got a pretty sweet deal from the Colts when they traded Eric Dickerson too. Both Washington and the Rams pretty much blew every single one of the picks they got. That's the difference. Acquiring all those picks are great. What you do with them is way more important. Nobody murdered the draft quite like Jimmy Johnson. He knew how to pick great players. Probably the greatest personnel head coach there ever was. Jimmy wasn't an X's and O's guru, wasn't the most polished guy. But nobody knew football players like that guy. Nobody.

Saw this on a Badger board. I think I'll just leave it here. I think she's probably a high 3 or low 4* based on her tenacity alone.

LMAO.

Arizona Cardinals should sign her to a contract. No bs- I bet she's probably better than at least 3 of their starting OL's.

This is completely inaccurate.
You sometimes really have an inflated view of what you spout.You are right Walsh had more to say than Wyche who worked under BW in SF.Walsh & Paul Brown tinkered with it in Cincinnati.I saw a TV Interview with Walsh years ago who stated it was a variation of what PB ran with Otto Graham.I don't remember the who did the interview.When Greg Cook got hurt in Cinci they had to dial the passing game back for Virgil Carter who was accurate but couldn't go long(I see you google shit too).Brown remembering it worked years earlier.Brown was one of the most influential minds ever on the sidelines.Like a lot of HC's he could also be a Dick - but he also won.That's why the NFL Coach of the Year Award is called The Paul Brown Trophy.He's an egomaniac perhaps but he's shit more football knowledge than your family tree will ever know.

The guy in the black/white dotted shirt who is losing it in laughter is by himself an important reason for there to be an internet.

I didn't google anything. I remember watching A Football Life documentary about Bill Walsh years ago. Must've watched that thing 3 or 4 times. Bill Walsh created that offense. Get over it.

I am not reading that. Sorry. Paul Brown was a great coach, obviously. Not the greatest ever and not even close. The main reason why he never became the greatest coach ever was because: he was a giant asshole. Jim Brown wound up hating his guts- the owner of the Browns Art Modell wound up hating his guts. You can be a dick as a coach, but the players and owners and coaches that work with you still have to like and respect you. Not only did Paul Brown pass up Bill Walsh for the head coach job of the Bengals, but the asshole blocked Walsh from getting other head coaching jobs in the NFL and bad mouthed him to the entire league. The apple didn't fall far from the tree- because his son Mike Brown is probably just as big of an asshole if not bigger. There probably isn't a worse owner in pro sports than Mike Brown.

Ya sure repeated almost verbatim I remember watching Cook get get creamed.I do remember Walsh stating in an interview that it was a variation of what PB did.A lot of people thought Cook was all that.The quick slants were hardly anything new was not ground breaking either.Modell  never did shit after PB was gone and moved the team while firing Bill Bellichik - that asshole?oh beautiful defense.And a few years ago on the other board when I had the nerve to compare Jimmy Brown to Barry Sanders you pointed out he beat women and kicked the hell out of some guy on a golf course that guy?More smashing testimony.Who then turned around and pissed off Modell by not reporting to camp instead staying on a movie set.So ya see your testimony isn't so rock solid.May be the 3 assholes deserved each other.

  Off the top of my head guys who played/coached or both under Paul Brown - Chuck Noll,Bill Walsh,Don Shula,Weeb Eubanks not one ever stated that being affiliated with Paul Brown was detrimental to their careers.Al Davis,George Halas and Lombardi could be tremendous schwanzes too - but just win baby

That reminds me of an incident in the '90s.A buddy won pretty much everybody's cash at poker game so he takes the rest of us up to the corner dive bar to treat.We walk into this joint and there are like 11 people and 3 fights going on.There was one chick maybe 5'1" smacking the crap out of her big biker boyfriend in leather/bandana.This guy was the size of a Yeti and she's going all Bruce Lee on him - sort of like your video.This is the funniest shit the rest of us had ever seen we're all cackling at the other end of the Bar like the movie Gremlins.And the big goof is like "I'm sorrry Ho-o-oney".Next thing you know you could hear a pin drop and time stops and the wood chipper slowly turns her head and attention to us.The gang I was with were funnier than hell but we all froze as she's running a 4.3 towards us already tossing haymakers.We're half terrorized and belly laughing at the same time.It's hard blocking shots while your gasping for air from laughing.Anyway it's like the scene from Monty Python with the Killer Rabbit - only no one gets killed.She's taking multiple swings at us which we just shoved her back - repeatedly.And we can hear the big galloot at the other end"Oh,it's not so-o fu-u-nny now".Anyway she got tired from swinging and we got tired from laughing and we all went back to our corners.Then the barkeep kicks everyone out and closes shop,evidently he didn't think this crowd would be leaving tips.May have been the hardest I ever laughed

lucky the Skers got that 340lb NT transfer from Okie State - she won't whip him as badly as if would have been

did you slip up or did you mean to call them the Blackshirts?

I'm waiting to see how they play D this season
