>>>>>>>>>Ok, we're slowing the bandwagon down for all you sports fans to jump on! lol I was at the game yesterday and it was nice to see Chefs fans wearing bags on their heads, and heading to the house after 3 quarters!
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Go Broncos!
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>Congratulations to the Broncos for somehow finding a way to knock off the mighty Chiefs ;-)
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>Credit where credit is due -- they are having a much better season than I thought they would. Looks like they are headed for the playoffs.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Yep, we will be in the playoffs for 1 game! Hey, I had us pegged at 3 - 4 wins, so I'm feeling good! Too bad we didn't lose all the games so we could get Teebow!
>>>>>>
>>>>>>To play what position? He will not be a quarterback in the NFL, at least not IMO. He might make a heck of a tight end, though.
>>>>>
>>>>>I heard Paul Hornung , you may remember him from his playing days with Green Bay, talking about Teebow. The commentator asked what he thought of him as a QB in the NFL. Paul said, "are you kidding me? This guy is the best football player in America. He can probably play every position, and will make a fine quarterback in the NFL." I think he knows good stock when he sees it, so I'll have to come down on his side. Now, I have heard some Mel Kiper types, you know guys who haven't won both Heisman trophys and Super Bowls, talking about how Teebow won't be able to cut it. Time will tell, but if I were going to bet, I'd go with Hornungs assessment over theirs.
>>>>
>>>>Maybe Hornung is one of those former players suffering after-effects from concussions ;-) Any position? Defensive back? Wide receiver? No in both cases; not fast enough. Offensive or defensive lineman? Not big enough. That leaves tight end, linebacker, fullback, and quarterback. If you watch his passes, he is not all that accurate past 10 or 15 yards. And that's in college.
>>>>
>>>>It's Tebow, BTW.
>>>
>>>Thanks for the correct spelling Mike. You remember a guy name Montana? He was slow and didn't throw much past 15 yards either. Just because the guy doesn't have Elways rocket, that doesn't mean he won't make it in the pros. Time will tell, but I'm thinking he's going to play QB in the pros.
>>
>>I also remember a guy who threw an awful lot of short passes and hardly ever carried the ball himself. His name was Bart Starr.
>
>He carried it memorably one cold day in Green Bay, one of the most famous plays in NFL history.

Yes, he did that. And he couldn't have done it to a nicer team. Dandy Don who?! Hmph!

>I wonder if we will hear from Jake today ;-) His beloved Steelers lost to the Browns last night -- the Browns! -- to fall to 6-7 and more or less out of the playoffs.

Depends on how sore his fingers are after punching the wall a couple hundred times.
