He was basically a shut-in. A sort of sad story.Originally posted by The Shadow View Post
But preferable to hairdos Daniel Jeremiah and Mel.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow. -
He wrote the very best & detailed draft reports.Who Knows? The Shadow knows!Comment

Doesn't ring a bell, wish I could see or recognize his work, although he sounded like a crazy person, and I just can't respect a guy that doesn't eat.Comment

"His analysis was so good that NFL coaches, owners and personnel people sought his advice.Originally posted by Deputy Nutz View Post
'I tried to hire him as a scout with the [Cleveland] Browns every year,' said New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick. 'But he always said he'd rather work for all 32 teams.' "
You sure this isn't a relative of yours, Nutz? Your draft analysis this year is pretty damn detailed."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

He worked for PFW when it was still a thriving weekly paper. I suspect somewhere they have a sample of his stuff, but I don't see it with cursory Googling. Their current guy is Nolan Nawrocki, who like McGinn, loves to publish verbatim scout bullshit rather than analyze the player.Originally posted by Deputy Nutz View Post
If you are familiar with the Arkush family brand, you will not be surprised to know that they founded the draftnik model.

I remember driving down to the Pro Football Weekly headquarters on Peterson Ave. here in Chicago to pick up the Buchsbaum draft guide on the day it was released. I guess my life was not tremendously exciting.Who Knows? The Shadow knows!Comment

I once did a 7 round mock draft. It was done a week before the draft and then some asshole teams went and traded and screwed everything upOriginally posted by Fritz View PostComment

I used to get the PFW draft and season previews. Those were good. Sporting News had good ones too.Originally posted by pbmax View PostHe worked for PFW when it was still a thriving weekly paper.

Sporting News used to be a fine publication. I had a subscription back in the 80's and early 90's."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I used to read that thing cover to cover back in the 80's. Along with Packer Report (lol, talk about distilled, concentrated homerism)Originally posted by Fritz View Post"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment
