More from Brady on his wife: It's tough being married to a supermodel wife. You guys just don't know. I've used tweezers on parts of her I didn't even know girls had. And while she's nice to look at, she has the breath of a komodo dragon. And down THERE? I bought her a grooming kit but had to include a hedge trimmer, a leaf blower and a lawn vac to keep it all neat. Of course she has to maintain her precious thigh gap, so the kids and I have to watch her carry a bowling ball at the top of her thighs around the house. Housework? Yeah, it gets done, but not with those nails it doesn't. I broke a nail dusting on a Saturday one week this season and Uncle Bill was really angry... All right, I'll stop now, but only because GF is a fan...But I will admit that whether I like it or not, the man has certainly maintained his QB skills to ripe age for QB's. He must be really dedicated to working out and practicing...As far as Giselle goes, I believe the bloom is starting to fade off that rose. That's how life goes. By the age of 50 or so we all look alike...Super hot chicks are usually a pain anyway... You don’t need to stop. I love the team like I love the Yankees but I don’t know these people personally so they’re more than fair game just like Saint Jeter was. These people don’t know we are alive. On your last comments though, last year we “met” Gisele leaving a game. I’m sorry to tell you she’s still absolutely beautiful in person. Maybe not Alex Rodriguez-Centaur kissing himself in the mirror beautiful, but pretty hot nonetheless. Oh, I needed to stop. I just used you for an excuse. I knew that my PG rating was already in jeopardy. Once you cross that line you lose so much of your audience that your ratings go down. If you’re to do juvenile comedy you have to be sure the juveniles are going to be allowed in... so much for me getting wealthy through forum posting... (: |

I used to love me some scrambling quarterbacks...Fran Tarkenton!!! I don't know if he qualified as scrambling, but remember Joe Kapp with the Vikings? He was famous for hurdling over would-be tacklers. And Peyton and Eli's daddy Archie could scramble pretty well too -- not that he had much choice on those awful Saints teams he played for. Kapp was fun to watch. He was a rambling, scrambling, rambling man (accompanied by Steve Martin on the banjo, a highly underrated act by the way). If Kapp could have thrown nearly as well as he ran he would have been unbeatable... |

If Kapp could have thrown nearly as well as he ran he would have been unbeatable... Yeah, Kapp was like a fullback placed at QB. Another guy I remember from the stone age who used to run a lot because he couldn't throw to save his life was Bobby Douglass, a big lefty who I recall with the Bears via the University of Kansas. Remember when both of the Colts QBs went down and they had to start running back Tom Matte at QB? It was considered a big deal that he had all the plays taped to his wrist. |

I am not sure what Kapp did was scrambling. He was just crazy. Tarkington did it a lot late in his career.

Man, you’ve awoken so many latent memories of football past that I had completely buried. Yes! I remember. I remember all that useless stuff that I thought was gone forever. Douglass! Tom Matte! Gino Marchetti! Everybody went to Gino’s! John Mackey, who had special meaning in our neighborhood because we had a white kid in the neighborhood (they were all white in THAT neighborhood, believe me) by the same name...Raymond Berry, who could have caught a bowling ball launched by a cannon and kept his feet in bounds! I feel like Dr. Frankenstein! They’re ALIVE! ALIVE I TELL YOU!!! |

I feel like Dr. Frankenstein! They’re ALIVE! ALIVE I TELL YOU!!! Raymond Berry was a GREAT receiver -- and had some success coaching the Patriots as well in what now seems like the very distant pre-Belichick era. I remember MrG was a neighbor of Berry's in MA back in the day, always had good things to say about him. If memory serves he was missing a finger (remember the Chiefs had an excellent wide receiver named Fred Arbanas who was blind in one eye.) And John Mackey pretty much invented the modern concept of the tight end. Add those guys to Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore (he was amazing), Jimmy Orr, Bobby Boyd, Billy Ray Smith, Lenny Lyles, Gino Marchetti, Don Shinnick, Jim Parker, Art Donavan, Bill Pellington -- no wonder the Colts of that era won so much. A little later came Mike Curtis and Dennis Gaubatz and Ordell Braase and of course Bubba Smith. Remember for many years the Colts had to start their games at 2 PM because of Baltimore blue laws? Rosenbloom always complained how it kept the team from being televised nationally more often. Gino Marchetti -- number 89 -- I sure do remember his burgers -- I ate many a Gino Giant in a mis-spent youth. I think Alan "The Horse" Ameche also had some kind of restaurant chain. Other early football names I recall -- Jaguar Jon Arnett, Hugh McIlhenny, RC "Alley Oop" Owens, Gene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb, Yale Lary, Joe Schmidt, Pete Retzlaaf, Joe "The Jet" Perry, Dr. Frank Ryan -- great great memories of a more fun NFL. |

Before the merger with the WWE? Lol!!! A few weeks ago I was watching some clips of Dick Butkus. Every single one of his hits they showed would be illegal today. I don't think Alex Karras ever made a tackle that was below neck-level. Johnny Sample and Herb Adderly used to commit felony assault on wideouts from the second the ball was snapped. And that is why quarterbacks have gone from around 50 percent completions to 70 percent completions. Back in the day, to get a roughing the passer penalty, the guy pretty much had to be medivacced out of the stadium. All sports will continually try to give an edge to the offense. |

Reminds of a quick Johnny U story. After a particularly brutal hit he took (sorry, can’t recall the particulars) he told his lineman to let the same guy through on the next play. When he was close enough Johnny heaved the ball as hard as he could and it stuck right in the guy’s face mask. Hmmm. Was that an interception? Not sure, But according to the tale it slowed the guy’s pass rush for the rest of the day... |

The completion percentage has also been aided by the dink passes they throw so often now. I like the downfield passing game much more, with reliance on the running game to slow the defenders down...
