    Mike Shanahan & Al Davis

    I just read this story. When with the 49ers, Mike Shanahan ordered Elvis Grbac to throw a ball at Al Davis and try and hit him in the head.

    Say what you like, but to me that puts Shanahan in the piece of shit category for life. #1 Risk serious injury to a man, #2 Put Grbac's career in jeopardy.

    Happened 13 years ago.

    Excuse me while I yawn a lot.

    I never heard the story and I find historical stories about the NFL compelling as a few others may, contrary to your personal self importance this message board isn't only to entertain you.

    Take things personal much?

    I wasn't directing it at you. What I find interesting and what you find interesting clearly differ. The author is clearly stirring up the pot on something that could have easily been goofing on Al back when he had his faculties.

    And just as you give your opinions on such matter, everyone else is entitled to theirs (including Mods on these boards).

    No, I just don't see the point dogging a thread that doesn't interest you. If every poster did the same it would definitely detract from the board.

    Again, not dogging the thread.

    Dogging the author of the article to which you linked? Yes!

    My apologies if that was not clear.

    Re: Mike Shanahan & Al Davis

    I'm not surprised.


    I read a story about how Shanahan kind of made a bunch of back door deals to get Dan Reeves fired.

    Shanahan is not a very nice person. I'm sorry to say that he pledged the same fraternity as I did in college.

    I never hear good things, which is unusual, I mean it always seems something shady or mean spirited.

    wonder if Grbac could throw hard enough to hurt him much...
    have NEVER heard a nice word about Shanny.
