Is Elway the dude who didn't want to be drafted by a bad team, so he essentially blackmailed them in to trading the spot by saying he would play baseball? I thought that was why tff hated him, or is that an urban legend I've been fooled in to thinking was real?

Eh, Bo Jackson didn't the same thing, except it wasn't a threat, he literally did just go play baseball.

Also, it looks like the Elway-to-Denver trade was put together by Bob Irsay without telling his coach or GM. And this is what his mom said about him.

The Baltimore Sun posted:

Estranged from his parents and brother, who accused the team owner of inventing an impoverished upbringing and denying his Jewish roots, Mr. Irsay was called "a devil on earth" by his mother in a 1986 interview with Sports Illustrated.

"He stole all our money and said goodbye. He don't care for me. When my husband got sick and got the heart attack, he (Bob) took advantage. He was no good," Elaine Irsay told the magazine.

Your team collapsing and making GBS threads all over the field is a poor excuse for calling Elway the devil.

The only logical reason to hate John Elway is if you're a Baltimore Colts fans, get over it goobers.

I just read a theory about why Jim Tomsula is such a wreck in interviews & it's that he drops a million fucks a second and all he can focus on in the interviews is not saying gently caress. I like this theory.

I drop F bombs in the office, when I interview people and when I've interviewed. Unless you're working for a church or sales or something, you should be fine. So if true, I like that Tomsula man.

Johnny Manziel posted:

"I would like to thank my family, friends, the Browns organization, my teammates, and Browns fans everywhere, for your patience, understanding, and support during my stay at Caron. The doctors and staff have been amazing and what I’ve learned in the last couple of months has been tremendous. I owe private apologies to a lot of people that I disappointed but a very public one to the Browns organization and the fans that I let down. I take full responsibility for my actions and it’s my intention to work very hard to regain everyone’s trust and respect. I understand that will take time and will only happen through what I do and not what I say. I also understand there’s a lot of curiosity about this but anyone who has a friend or family-member that’s been through things like this knows it’s an ongoing process. I’m going to continue to ask folks to try to respect my privacy as I determine to what degree I am comfortable talking about a subject which I consider very personal. Most of you have been considerate about that and I thank you for it. I look forward to seeing my teammates next week and focusing on football and my desire to be the best possible player, teammate, and man that I can be.”

Kind of boilerplate but there's some hope that he actually unfucked himself.

It's a civil suit... there is no double jeopardy.

To add, this is why OJ Walked for the murders of his wife and her lover, but was later sued by her family in civil court and lost.
