At one time there was talk about him coming to NE as a head coach. I believe it was just talk, but I was really hoping that there was some substance to it.

There was more than just talk to it -- he accepted an offer to be the Patriots' coach in in the early '70s, but then changed his mind the next day.

The story goes that after he accepted the offer he told his wife: "Honey, tonight you're going to bed with a millionaire", then after sleeping on it decided he would be happier keeping his $30k/year job. Boston's loss was Happy Valley's gain.

I'm going to the Ohio State game with my foster dad and two of his friends, and then get to see them beat the crap out of my school on the 16th. At least we can beat those Horns up at baseball.

But 206 families who placed bets at World Furniture Mall over Labor Day weekend won payoffs after the Bears pounded the Green Bay Packers 26-0 in their season opener Sunday.

Gonigam had promised to refund the money spent in his Plano store that weekend—up to $10,000 a customer—if the Bears shut out Green Bay."

Did you see Jerry Porter cheering as his team-mate Aaron Brooks was sacked for a 7th time? I think his time is short with the Silver and Black lol.

Status: offline 		I agree, Estring, Shell was a fantastic player, and he seems to be a heck of a guy, and a decent coach. I think about those Raider teams in the 70s and 80s, and it has to drive Al Davis mad that he can't put together another powerhouse. I honestly think if Madden would come back, and Davis would let  him have a lot of say so in building the team, they could be huge.
