Bradshaw is rated higher than Staubach. Talk about an overated QB that only won 2 SB while Terry won 4

Romo will never win a SB cause he chokes in Dec and Jan. His record in those two months is 17 wins and 17 losses. Last night was a pathetic showing.

You know, the funny thing is that I can't really remember a quarterback in the 70s that you could truly consider overrated.  Joe Namath comes close but even he lived up to a lot of his hype for a while.  I'll give Staubach his due, the man was one Hell of a QB as well as a human being.

What this infantile pillock is basing his opinion on (other than just being a contrary, punk ass Cowboys fan) amounts to nothing when it contacts reality.  A four time Super Bowl winner?  Both times back to back?  Back to back Super Bowl MVP's?  Overrated?!?  C'mon!  What the Hell do you have to be smoking to come to that conclusion?

Don't you just love children when they think they know everything?   Nothing is quite as charming, is it?

:whatever:


The only thing worse is "Cowboys fans" who live in the Philly area.  Ever run into any of these losers when you're up here, wasp? Talk about needing a beat-down . . . know-nothing bandwagoneers, only they don't even have a bandwagon onto which to jump anymore.

You actually have those up that way?

No, ma'am, I can't say that I have.  The only experience I have had with the fine people of Philadelphia is with the Eagles fans.  I don't hide the fact that I have been a lifelong Steelers fan and that I am a rabid WVU fan (which only matters to the elderly since WVU and Temple really don't play anymore), and have never had a problem.  Quite the opposite, they've been wonderful.

Ah, the Battle of Pennsylvania!  I honestly thought that Super Bowl XXXIX was going to be played between those two.  What a game that would have been.

Ah, well...

We know he can read though.

Junior missed some of the best football played in the 50's, 60's and 70's. The QB's for the most part called the plays rather than an offensive coach in the pressbox relaying the call to the coach on the field. Kinda looks looks fruit to me when the coach is hiding his face so the other team can not lip read the call. Same deal with the defensive coach calling the formation. Then there is the face mask the old time QB wore. Not those full/partial ones of today. The QB back then did not have the rules protecting them like today. Pretty boys like Romo and Brady would be missing some teeth. But I am sure none of that is recorded in the stats.

Yeah, it's no wonder these QBs can put up the numbers they do.  If you don't have "Mean" Joe Greene or Randy White kicking you in the face, you tend to stay healthier and throw farther. 

After the strike in '82, the game went way downhill.

You know, Tex, I really don't get into the whole football team pissing contests, but being able to swat your strutting ignorance around was just too much of a temptation.  I truly appreciate the entertaining diversion you have provided.

If that's the case, why didn't Dallas do better?

Quote
Before Super Bowl XIII, a Steelers-Cowboys rematch, Cowboys linebacker Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson famously ridiculed Bradshaw by saying, "He couldn't spell 'Cat' if you spotted him the 'c' and the 'a'." Bradshaw got his revenge by winning the Most Valuable Player award, completing 17 of 30 passes for a then-record 318 yards and four touchdowns in a 35-31 win. Years later, Henderson, who struggled for years to conquer drug addiction, admitted he was high on cocaine at the time of the interview.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Bradshaw

Heh, not bad for a dumbass, huh?

And just what type of guy was "Hollywood"?

Quote
In November 1983, Henderson was arrested for smoking cocaine with two teenage girls in California. He was accused of threatening with a gun and sexually assaulting them. He claimed that he gave them drugs in exchange for consensual sex. He pleaded no contest to the charges and served eight months in court-ordered drug rehabilitation as well as two years in prison.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_%22Hollywood%22_Henderson

Ah, I see, one of the predecessors of punkass, coked-out Cowboys that run their mouths better than they play football.  Too bad he couldn't keep his suck muscle shut, he might not have made such a fool of himself.

But at least he had a cool nickname, right?  No Texas team is complete without a coke fiend named "Hollywood", right, Tex?

Two Super Bowl victories.  And by historical record, Dallas is still Pittsburgh's bitch at 2 to 1 when they've played in the big game.
