OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Fritz]

The first football book I read was a book about the Majik to Sharpe and Montana to Rice connections. I used to watch the Lindy Infante show. I was 8, my sister 9. I remember she had the gull to fight with me over the TV. I wanted the Packer game, she the carebears. I was Majik one year for halloween. Those Packers (Majik, Sharpe, Tony Bennett) were larger than life to me. Sharpe was my favorite player. WR was my favorite position. God, those were the days. Those pictures bring back memories.

My older son is a Giants fan. God, that urked me at first. He does have a little bit of his old man in him though. He knew almost every penalty in the game by the time he was 7 or 8 years old. There were times we'd be watching football, his mom would ask a question and he'd answer all annoyed, eyes rolling, "that's illegal contact, it was before the ball was in the air" or something like that. Good shit

It used to piss me off that he was a Giants fan, but I think he did that just so he could be his own person and not have to be like his dad. I started liking the Giants too, cuz he does, and now we're football buddies. He's helped me expand my football horizons and I support him even though he didn't follow in the family tradition.

I love football.

You didn't disown him for not being a Packer fan? JH, you do know there's a loyalty commission being formed in another thread to determine who the "real" Packer fans are...this isn't going to look good, man.

He seemed to be one of those guys who had some good skills, though not great skills, but was a damn good leader and kind of inspiring to watch. I liked him, but I did recognize that he did not have a rocket arm.

Still, I watched him in the old Pontiac Silverdome beat the Lions on the last play of the game on a pass to...I'm not sure who. The Pack was down around the ten yard line, time running out. I still believe Majik was targeting an underneath receiver, maybe a tight end, but the pass was overthrown, and ended up looking like a pinpoint bullet shot to the wide receiver who caught it for the winning TD.

I've been wondering about the accuracy of human memory lately...especially mine - so I looked up this game. Well, okay, they weren't down around the ten (it was the 26), but here's the scoring from September 30, 1990, from the Packers/Lions game at the Pontiac Silverdome:

1st Lions Robert Clark 4 yard pass from Rodney Peete (Eddie Murray kick) 0 7
2nd Packers Chris Jacke 34 yard field goal 3 7
Packers Ed West 3 yard pass from Don Majkowski (Chris Jacke kick) 10 7
Lions Barry Sanders 3 yard rush (Eddie Murray kick) 10 14
3rd Lions Rodney Peete 7 yard rush (Eddie Murray kick) 10 21
4th Packers Michael Haddix 4 yard pass from Don Majkowski (Chris Jacke kick) 17 21
Packers Jeff Query 26 yard pass from Don Majkowski (Chris Jacke kick) 24 21

There you go Fritz. Green Bay Packers Ed West, Michael Haddix and Jeff Query. Who was thinking about any of those fellas over breakfast?

Who was thinking of Chris Jacke.

You've got to love the internet.

PACKERS !

PACKERS !

It's funny...at the time I thought they had enough talent - Majik, Sharpe, Jacke, Ken Ruetgers, Tony Bennett, Tim Harris, Ed West, Leroy Butler, Bryce Paup. But for reasons I can't recall Anthony Dildo shared playing time with Majik. I think Dilweg had good stats but no arm. That was a 6-10 team - Lindy-the-Infant's second-to-last year.

And Brent Fullwood and Darrell Thompson were your running backs...Haddix was listed as a FB.

Lindy Infante milked his 10-6 season for two more after that, before it was abundantly clear the wheels had fallen off. Then Ron Wolf was brought in, and, well, we know how that worked out.

look at the vertical for Jeff Query! I guess it's a testament to how bad things were in GB that I remember briefly entertaining the thought that Query was a "Quality football player."

(Note: Check out the youthful 'scoops' McGinn...

[denverYooper]

McGinn's sporting quite the birds' nest up there.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Brent Fumblewood and Anthony "Run straight into the pile" Thompson. Ahhh, the good old days of Packer RBs.

[RashanGary]

I wonder how many times Mcginn has been punched in the face for that smirk?

[Iron Mike]

Who had the best mullet??

Majkowski?



Jacke?



Or, Query?

Query wasn't a bad football player. He was a one trick pony, a poor man's Don Beebe, but man was he fast. His nickname was "White Lightning".

Darrell Thompson. There was an Anthony Thompson that went to another time around the same time. I think he was as big of a bust as Darrell.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Had to look it up. Both Darrell and Anthony Thompson arrived in 1990. Both came out of the Big 10 (Minnesota and Indiana). Darrell was a 1st round pick. Anthony was a second round pick. Darrell finished with 1641 yards, 3.5 yards/carry, 7 TDs. Anthony finished with 831 yards, 3.3 yards/carry, 6 TDs.

Darrell did have a useful run in the 1993 season to help the Pack return to the playoffs for the first time since 1982.

I scored a three point play off D Thompson in intramurals. Later in the same game, I took a charge, and he sent me across the gym. He was gracious and picked me up off my ass though. Even in basketball, he could only go straight forward.

I'm just wondering Iron Mike....

Maybe... 'only' amongst men ... Peewee Herman should comment on that!?
