NFL 2008 Offseason Thread

I'm not really sure if he held the team hostage, but Elway retired in May of 1999. The Broncos had just won the last 2 Super Bowls. After the Broncos won their first SB, Elway pulled the whole "I will/I won't" game of retirement. Eventually, he decided to return and the Broncos went on to win the next SB. Then after that, he played the whole "I will/I won't" game again. Except, when Elway did decide to retire, he waited three and half months and also after the draft. Thus, I suppose, keeping his team hostage because Denver was uncertain about Elway's future with the team.

So was Favre's behavior diva-like? Perhaps.
But, I suppose he wasn't the only one.

 

[No spoken words]

i don't remember john elway holding his franchise hostage while he decides wether or not to come back. favre did. not to bash him at all, but he knew he could. he's a friggin GOD in that area. if green bay had ever cut brett favre while favre still wanted to play, there would be a cheesehead revolt.

favre knew this and took advantage of it, right or wrong.

Different topic, but, do you remember Elway refusing to play for the Colts? He threatened to continue playing minor league baseball if the Colts did not deal him.

 

[phanan]

Yeah, that was brought up a few years back when Eli refused to play for the Chargers.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

and eli took a much shorter time to win the super bowl, thus eli is better than john elway.

wrap your mind around that logic for a few minutes and see where it takes you.

 

[DaveC]

Apparently, Trent Dilfer is better than John Elway, too.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

no no... that's just crazy talk.

 

[DaveC]

eli is better than john elway

that's just crazy talk.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Jesus Christ, I know this. I'm not stupid. I thought it was funny.

 

[CTU2fan]

Dilfer's also better than Dan Marino hahahaha.

 

[CTU2fan]

Oh yeah, fuck curt shilling. He's no diva, he's just a bitch.

Aw c'mon, Schill may be a lot of things but look at his postseason record - he's no bitch.

Unless you're one of the guys who thought it was ketchup on his sock?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

bitch? nah. douchebag? yah.

 

[Hewson]

Professional sports is loaded with douchebags, as a large percentage of pro athletes have been coddled since they were 9 once someone identified they had superior athletic talent. So they get special treatment their entire adolescence and young adulthood...its a perfect breeding situation for douchebaggery.

Well, he's a bitch with a good postseason record for Boston.

I never thought it was ketchup in his sock, but I wouldn't be surprised if he bladed himself.

Haha! Just kidding CT.

"Douchebaggery" is one of my favoritest words, ever.

Ok, I've decided to root for the Cleveland Browns next season. Sure, I believe that everyone that hails from that shit hole is a colossal douche bag, but they haven't won anything in a LONG time.

KOSAR LIVES!
