TE problem

[red]

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time

[KYPack]

There is very little out there for FA TE's.

The Falcons just signed Mickey Shuler JR, fer instance.

Maxie, keep that old school rollin'. This a great thread. In fact, start one.

Jim Brown is the greatest NFL player I've ever seen.

A not too well known fact about Jim Brown is that he was only tackled three times.

Successfully tackled by an opponent, yes. The other times he stopped were cases of extreme sportsmanship.

"Ron Kramer is murdering the Giants from his TE spot"

He's like a Ray Lewis out there!

The post in another thread of David McCullough, I mean John Chancellor, reminded me that the voice in Rand's newsreel is Chris Schenkel, famous to me for being the ABC play by play guy for the Pro Bowlers tour. Nelson Burton Jr. was the expert commentator.

Juicy details from Silverstein

Quarless remains subject to NFL suspension due to an off-field incident in which he allegedly fired off a gun in public. According to a source, it would be possible for Quarless to serve the suspension during the time he is on injured reserve if one comes down during that period.

It would essentially mean he would not receive pay for however many games he was suspended but wouldn't have to sit out any games. Quarless may already know whether he has been suspended and be in the appeal phase.

The NFL does not announce suspensions until an appeal is exhausted.

So the sooner that suspension comes down the better.

No. He either scored or ran out of bounds (which was also rare). Just look at all the tape out there. The man was never tackled.

Where is Earl Anthony?

Schenkel also did the Olympics "Dashing, Beautiful, Comely, Chartreuse Peggy Fleming"

This Annen character was a favorite of mine in last year's draft. Decent size and a good athlete. I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the active roster some day.

That's right. Then Jim Lampley eventually got involved and fisticuffs broke out.

Same here. Guy has made a living off a 4.41 40 at his Pro Day. Didn't play much in college and always been with teams loaded with TE's. Green Bay could be good opportunity. See him working the seam at the 1:26 mark in the Northwestern game and making a tough red zone catch at the 2:34 mark in Purdue game.

Negative. That would be Chuck Mercein. Came out of nowhere to be a key player in the Ice Bowl.

I agree. I was thinking of starting a thread on the number one Packer Fuckdoogle for all time, and Mercein may be the guy (can't really include guys before the 60's because most of those guys were fuckdoogles - playing football in the fall and working on the docks, in the tanneries, or hoofing it on the insurance trail in the off-seasons).

Annen will be playing Anon.

Thanks for seconding my motion, Rand. (By the way, I don't want to be a stickler for form, but your spelling of Fuckdoogle doesn't comport with the original: fuckdoggle. Just wondering if this is by design, given your one-time status as Supreme Fuckdoggle Leader, or whether it's an oversight. I must admit, fuckdoogle does have a better ring to it.)

As a deposed leader, I am fomenting insurrection. The first order of business is to confuse the people about the spelling and then the meaning of words. He who controls the language, controls the masses.
