The man is still active and he is a cheater.  Only Irvin would think this is a good idea...  I&#039;d rather see Landry&#039;s name go on frankly.]]></description>

Stupid idea. Maybe they should make a new trophy, that resembles a video camera and hand it out to the team that gets caught cheating the most throughout the season, and name it after him.

		<description><![CDATA[In case anyone is wondering, football did not start with Super Bowl one.  Lombardi won FIVE titles in seven years with a franchise that was a dog when he arrived.  He did it with impeccable CHARACTER and LEADERSHIP getting pro bowl and MVP seasons out of players many teams would not draft.  Not to mention a huge portion of his 1966 team is HOF.  

A crack head wants a cheater on mr Lombardi&#039;s trophy.  Hah, he will vault out of his grave and have roger goodell doing Conditioning drills til he pukes and dies, which will take his fat ass 5 minute.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am not a Belichick fan but I do admore the work he has done.

But lets correct the record here.  He has won 5 super bowls not 3.  he carried Parallels on two SB wins.

He has also appeared in 8 Super Bowls which is pretty amazing.

I do hear the argument that without LT and Brady he would have a lot less SBs but he has been to 8 super Bowls and won 5 that is downright amazing. 

I will also give him big credit for his win over the Rams.  That was an amazing job.  Bu the last few years he has stayed competitive without a defense.   I give the man credit he is arguably the greatest football coach of all time.  He certainly belongs up there with Lombardi, Halas, Noll, Landry and Walsh.]]></description>

“What in the world did Walsh revolutionize?”

Either you seriously no nothing about football or your Cowboy homerism has blinded to you. Tom Landry was an innovative coach, but so was Walsh. 

Either way I’ll take Walsh’s 3 Super Bowls to Landry’s 2.
---------------
So you can&#039;t tell me what Walsh &quot;revolutionized&quot;.  I understand.

When Steve Jobs died people came out of the wordwork declaring him a genius on the level of Einstein and Hawking.  Jobs invented NOTHING.  He remarketed existing technology.  He was innovative, and created over-priced toys for the gullible, but to put him on the same level as Einstein is to insult Einstein.

That the same thing with Walsh.  He didn&#039;t create the short passing game.  Weak armed QB&#039;s had been using it for years.  He had a good scheme with great personnel.  Just like the &quot;Greatest Show on Turf&quot;, and the &quot;Run to Daylight&quot; offenses.  His success lasted just as long as his personnel did, just like those offenses.  That&#039;s hardly innovation.

Landry&#039;s teams appeared in FIVE SBs, losing three by a total of 11 points and all in the last minute of play.  Landry changed the game.  Walsh took Coryell&#039;s system and had the right personnel.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Irvin’s overlooking the fact that Belichick is terrible at evaluating and drafting talent. Or maybe Irvin is actually impressed that Belichick can be so lousy at the draft yet coach up lesser talented and undrafted players.

18 undrafted players on the roster? Great coach, but a rather lousy GM/drafter.

--------

I&#039;d say losing Scott Pioli is the major reason for this.  He was the only guy who would challenge BB on FA/draft signings, and they suffered when he left.
I say leave the trophy alone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only reason it is called The Lombardi Trophy is because Vince died right at the time of the NFL-AFL merger. 
George Halas won more games, more titles, produced more Hall of Fame players, was a better player on the field and started the NFL.
Before 1920, football was a college sport and professional football was a joke before Halas made started a real league and sold it to the public.
Without George Hals there would be no NFL.
Vince was a great coach and one of the iconic figures in the league’s history but it should be called the Halas Trophy.
And for the Packer fans that will whine about that... George Halas personally lent money to the Packers to keep them from folding and helped raise money for the construction of Lambeau Field.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[randallflagg52 says: 
&quot;Belichick has not revolutionized the game the way guys like Lombardi and Walsh have. &quot;

What in the world did Walsh revolutionize??  He had a weak armed QB who threw more short passes, and more passes to his running backs.  That&#039;s ALL he did.

You want someone who revolutionized the game - Tom Landry INVENTED the middle linebacker position, which everyone uses today.  He drafted track stars and basketball players and made them into HoF&#039;s.  He invented the multiple set offense which everyone uses today, and re-invented the shotgun formation, that everyone uses today (it was scrapped cuz no one could figure out how to be successful with it).

Landry invented the gap control defense that everyone uses today specifically to stop the &quot;run to daylight&quot; offense of Lombardi&#039;s.

And that&#039;s just for starters.]]></description>

He invented the multiple set offense which everyone uses today, and re-invented the shotgun formation, that everyone uses today (it was scrapped cuz no one could figure out how to be successful with it).</p>
<p>Landry invented the gap control defense that everyone uses today specifically to stop the &#8220;run to daylight&#8221; offense of Lombardi&#8217;s.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s just for starters.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Maybe we should call it the Lombardi/Belichick/ Noll/Walsh/ Gibbs/Johnson/ Coughlin/Shanahan/Flores/ Landry/Shula Trophy.&quot;

Of those coaches you listed, only Gibbs has won three SBs with three differeent QBs.  All the others developed ONE QB and rode him to all their glory.

If QB is the most important position, then winning multiple SBs with multiple QBs would be the hardest thing to do.  Make it the Lombardi-Gibbs trophy.  And I&#039;m a DALLAS fan.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As much of an on-field fan of irvin that i am like other posters have said the dude has to be back on tha rock or this are tha effects of CTE. Either way while me being a dolphins fan i can&#039;t help and admire bb teams that are sb contenders year in &amp; out. He has went to 5 sb &amp; has lost twice, those last 2 coming after the spygate scandal, which obviously are tainted wins no matter what anyone says period. Further on proving that those 3 wins might have been just because they simply cheated which of course they did &amp; not because he is a great coach.. He still has the benefit of tha doubt and without question he is a great HOF coach but he has to win titles without cheating or getting caught, bottom line then maybe then irvin or any other idiot can start a thought like this. But no show respect to those before you, lombardi is a legend period and trophy shall remain as is + lombardi is a cool name after all. Maybe belicheat, i mean belichick can get the sportsmanship award named after him, you know....]]></description>

Shula went undefeated and Bellichick didn&#039;t.

Noll won four Super Bowls in six years and Bellichick didn&#039;t.

Walsh also win four Super Bowls with the same QB and one with a different QB. Bellichick didn&#039;t.

Noll and Walsh are unbeaten in Super Bowls (and so is Lombardi, no?), Bellichick isn&#039;t.

Bellichick has never beaten Tom Coughlin.

Bellichick CHEATED to win at least one Super Bowl. 

Irvin! Please! Shut. Up.

Because of Kharma, BB will likely never win another Super Bowl. Further, watch the dude retire when Brady does!]]></description>

Once again, a TV talking head is gushing over a head coach for something he did over 7 years ago. Belichick is 0-2 in his last two Super Bowl appearances, but those apparently mean nothing to Irvin and most other talking heads who discuss the league. The Patriots had their hey day, and it ended in 2005. Why are we still talking about the Patriots as if they’re still a dynasty?
—
Probably because they are still one of the elite franchises in the league.
Probably because the “talking heads” don’t let their emotions get in the way.

———————————————–

Using that logic, let’s gush all over the Cowboys even though they haven’t won a championship since 1996. There’s a major difference between a team who remains competitive and a real dynasty. The Patriots were a dynasty; they are not one anymore.
---

No one is still calling the Patriots a Dynasty. But to say their heyday ended in 2005 in crazy, they just played in another SB.
They have the best record in the league since 2007. And also take into consideration Michael Irvin was talking to someone from the Boston Herald. If he was talking to someone from the NY Times he probably would have said the same thing about Tom Coughlin (maybe).

My point is when all the “talking heads” from all these different sports outlets talk about the Patriots in that way there may be some merit to it. But they also talk the same way every year about the Steelers , Ravens and up until last year the Colts.]]></description>
