Not to pile on, but you’re also wrong about Steelers fans booing Terry out of Pittsburgh. Yes, he had it rough in his early days with the team. Steelers fans are notoriously hard to please–especially on the offensive side of the ball. But he was an iconic figure by the time he left, despite the fact that he did his own little Favre act of retiring for movie stardom, then unretiring, then minimizing the extent of his injury thus causing the team to pass on Dan Marino. Terry has admitted he short-changed the fans and was overwhelmed by the love they poured on him when he finally returned to Pittsburgh to be honored with other favorite players.

Do you do any fact-checking or just spew whatever nonsense comes to mind?

Wow, you are so wrong on so many counts.
First, the quote was not made before the draft, but before his 3rd Super Bowl Start.
Second, the quote was made by Hollywood Henderson.
Third, you are using a quote by a convoked coke-head as the basis for your argument.
By my count, that three strikes, son. Your out.

steelers1981,

Oh please. The only reason the steelers have ever had any success is because of the Browns.

Chuck Noll, former Brown born in Cleveland.
Bill Cowher, former Brown and Shottenheimer assistant.
Even the hypocloids on the steeler helmet was provided to them by Republic of Cleveland Steel.
The only reason the steelers were able to complete was their move to the AFC, which was prompted by Cleveland.

Step away from the pipe we have help on the way !!!!!!!!! Kid there is more to life then drugs your starting to hallucinate

Yes, I didn’t look up the quote before I originally posted. I hope you’ll be able to sleep better at night now.

Also, Wikipedia and Wikileaks are not the same company. I think the name you want is Julian Assange that runs Wikileaks, and Bradley Manning was the leaker. Jimmy Wales was the founder of Wikipedia.

Wrong AGAIN.. “erik”

I didn’t look it up on “Wikipedia” (like you did) because:
1) I hate the putrid puke who runs it who helped Bradley harm our country

2) I didn’t HAVE to. You missed the point. I don’t care how many “shows” you THINK you heard it on about “being before the draft”. You’re wrong. It was something Henderson said, and it was before the game, and it’s well documented.

I’m not a Steeler Fan at all, BTW. So I was not defending Bradshaw. Just tired of uninformed people quoting ridiculous things on this board without any regard for the history of the game.

Just think about how ridiculous your claim is anyway. WHO “said” that “before he was drafted?” A commentator? Agent? Who? Who would do that to someone before they even came into the draft?

As for not letting a son play but willing to do it again himself, any father can tell you he’ll take all kinds of risks himself that he wants to protect his children from.

Even though I’m a Browns fan, I like Bradshaw. He’s a character and hilarious most of the time. It’s a damn shame that pittsburg fans booed him out of that city. I’ll just never get tired of seeing him get dropped on his head by Jones. That was a hell of a game.

That story is part of Steeler lore and is part of NFL Films. You know, where they show highlights of your favorite team winning the SB? OH, wait. That’s right, your a Browns fan. Keep reveling in that play. That’s the most you will have to cheer about for another 40 years

Most of the private sector does not have pensions, we have 401ks. Which of we don’t fund we are screwed.

Sure football is different but these players CHOOSE to play and this accept the risks

Listen up! Since when has pay in professional sports had anything to do with the level of violence? If that’s the case, why do players in MLB and NBA make more?

This is the height of Browns glory for the past 40 years. One of the players performed a pile driver on Terry Bradshaw in the 70′s

By the way… to answer the final question… why not wait as long as possible for Aikman and Bradshaw. There isn’t a downside to delaying adding your name to the last possible moment. No reason to cause issue at work until you have to.

By the other way… I played Football, Soccer, Wrestled and Swam in HS. I played Soccer in college. The only concussion I ever received playing sports was from Soccer (2x) … (I received another 2 while in the Army)

I played Cornerback (starter) and Runningback (backup) in HS.

Former players for the NFL deserve no more than what former employees for any business deserve. A companythat continues to provide too much for its retired employees soon finds itself struggling financially because of the burden. See GM, Ford and Chrysler and the financial woes they had. It sent two of them through bankruptcy.

I wish I could whine that an employer that gave me a lotto payout 20 years ago isn’t taking care of me now that I screwed up and blew it…..

Ah, Terry, for one split second we are on the same page again like the good old days. But you’re wrong about contact sports–specifically, football as we know it–phasing out in the next decade. Too much money on the table for that.

If football goes I won’t be switching to any other sport. Basketball is garbage, baseball is boring as hell and soccer…well it’s soccer.

Considering that Bradshaw was referenced before he was drafted as, “rikinhell says: Jun 14, 2012 10:51 AM

Considering that Bradshaw was referenced before he was drafted as, “He couldn’t spell ‘cat’ if you spotted him the C and the T”, he might have actually been helped by the concussions.

BTW, Turkey Jones says, “Hi”., he might have actually been helped by the concussions.

**********************************************
What are you like 12? Don’t know your history? That was not a reference to him “before he was drafted”. It was Hollywood Henderson of the Cowboys saying it before the Superbowl.

To which, BTW, Bradshaw responded after WINNING the SB, by saying “Hey someone go ask Hollywood how smart I am now..”
