Dope smoking diva....no thank you.

 

You could tell the way he stared down WRs, that he was never gonna amount to much...:up:

 

Unlucky number 13, he'll never replace the real 13 in Jake Scott...lol

 

He'll never win a Super Bowl...

....wait, what?

:escape:

Whew. I honestly clicked this thread thinking we had traded for Brandon Albert.

 

Thank you for posting that! I had not seen it; I was a fan at the time and even a Marino fan at the time (longer story), but I found out the next day in the newspaper.

 

Nice Tyvm....that's a new one ;). The one I adore has a few more picks....."we want Sapp!!" Is a particular high point for me.

 

Kid with a golden arm, lightning fast release,and charisma for days, not athletic, but, moves effortlessly within the pockets confines with exceptional footwork and anticipation, gets ridiculous velocity on the football, as in does not have a deep ball, just think of his deep passes as real deep slants, supremely confident in his arm and dares corners and safeties to creep on him, usually leaving them breathless in their futile attempts..Hall of fame ceiling..

I wonder how he turned out.

 

Joe Namath?

 

Marino's ****ty senior year made it all possible.

 

We could of gotten darrel green. :shifty:

 

That draft was known as the QB draft but really it was just a super talented draft across the board. Green went two picks later.

Dr. Z/Paul Zimmerman always happily referred back to his comments here as evidence of how everyone makes mistakes. There was an undercurrent of a rather large falling out between himself and Don Shula (mostly On Don Shula's side), and all those years he had previously covering the Jets were bound to have an effect. Miss his writing immensely, sadly due to some debilitating strokes he experienced as most will know. He always watched game film before giving an opinion on somebody, something that became very rare in the modern age (and something that we're lucky to get from the top contributors to this site). That doesn't mean he didn't make mistakes (as the above video shows) but at least he had formed a proper opinion, rather than recycling the views of others (as the majority of those writing sadly do).

Also good to see Howard Balzer pop up. Probably one of the most underrated NFL reporters of the modern era. He even used to contribute to a little magazine sold in the UK in the 80s that gave a few of us daft Brits a full draft preview and review, at a time when the populace here thought "American Football" was that thing with the refrigerator and people putting on a suit of armor to play rugby.

 

Wow, haven't thought of Vigoritto in years. And hearing Overstreets name reminded me of the series of deaths that they had, I think 3 years in a row. One was a lb that had a heart attack while running, Overstreet drove into the gas station and died, and while I remember that there were 3 deaths the third escapes me. Oh well, lots of memories.

Invariably end up watching this every year at draft time and it never gets old.

 

He was drafted by the Kansas City Royals out of high school in 1979 as well. He wasn't some late shot in the dark pick you get in MLB drafts either, he went in the 4th round.

 

Agree. Never.gets.old and always brings a smile to my face :yes:

 

I believe the LB's name was Larry Gordon. I cant remember the third one.

 

What was telling last night was Jim Kelly.....

He was honest last night saying how he didnt want to go to the Bills and he was pissed when they picked him.....

Funny because they had audio of him right after he was drafted saying the company line "I am proud to be a Bill" yada yada yada....

and then it came back modern day with Kelly sitting there and he was like "That was one big lie" :lol:

 

Thank you so very much.....ahhh those tools reactions are classic ;)

 

That video proves it, Marino should have been a Punter! Then we would have won a few Superbowls! :lol:
