Jeff Porter's Football Talk

[Jeff Porter]

Actually, I believe Baltimore drafted Elway. He stated he'd play baseball before playing for them, and ended up being traded to Denver. He was almost a Yankee!!

Good point Bert. I think ESPN has a 30 for 30 show, "From Elway to Marino", that does a great job of explaining the Elway situation in 1983, and how the draft went in the first round, all the players that were taken and why, and things from Elway's agent's point of view. That show does go into how Elway played minor league ball that summer after the draft, and Steinbrener was stoked that Elway might be playing outfield for the Yankees. Elway was one hell of an athlete. I'm pretty sure the show documented why Elway didn't wanna play for Baltimore Colts, but I don't remember specifics, was it the owner?

As a Cowboy fan, I'm glad for your disappointment.

1-10-15 .... Ravens @ Pats underway .... it really looks cold up there

I thought my Seahawks would be facing the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, now it looks like it will be the Baltimore Ravens, depending what happens tomorrow with Green Bay and Dallas.

LOL, "I just can't pick DEN no matter what"... I resemble that remark!

Wow, Car goes to Seattle and wins, and Dal goes to GB and wins. Bold predictions, well done!

GB is 8-0 at home. That includes wins vs. NE and Philly. Sea is 7-1 at home, only loss to Dal, wins vs. GB and Den. And Car. But that's WHY they PLAY the GAMES.

GB IS 8-0 at home but don't forget the Cowboys are 8-0 away!
