LOL, Flanagan rips Elvis and his performance on HBO...

DaWolf · 08-09-2001, 11:36 PM

From Flanagan in today's Star:

[QUOTE]The HBO real-life series on the NFL called "Hard Knocks" aired its second segment Wednesday, and it probably was a bit hard to watch for the two or three Elvis Grbac fans out there.

The series follows the Baltimore Ravens training camp, and while Elvis was virtually ignored on the first segment, he was prominent near the end of Wednesday's segment.

But we're guessing Elvis would rather have been ignored again. HBO showed Elvis taking about eight snaps from center, and the unofficial tally went something like this: Fumble, tripped and fell, fumble, fumble, incomplete pass, incomplete pass, sack, incomplete pass. Well, you get the picture.

You've seen it all before anyway.

I'll give him one thing, when he doesn't like a guy, he lets us know about it (and vice versa, IE Bob Hamelin)...

~~Actually thinks Elvis will do better ... maybe.

mcan · 08-10-2001, 06:10 AM

Could it be, that he is going up against the best defense ever, and they are tearing him up? Nahh, he just sucks.

I went back and watched the Patriots game a couple days ago, just to see what went wrong. I forgot Elvis threw that pass at the six yard line to Tony that ended the game. What an ignorant piece of s*!t. Glad he's the Raven's problem now.

htismaqe · 08-10-2001, 09:14 AM

Not one snap did he spin around 270 degrees and run out of bounds! Wow!

If one has an ax to grind and a soapbox to speak from its easy to string together a lowlight reel.

Wasn't Green and Weigman having snap problems early in camp? Didn't Green overthrow a receiver and get picked? Footage could easily be strung together that makes any QB look like an idiot.
This is much ado about nothing.

58Forever · 08-10-2001, 10:47 AM

It isn't much ado about nothing...the fact is that this is being shown on a National Cable channel and it's happening to one of the most despised former Chiefs player ever....

Sure Green has has his problems...but we are the only ones who get to read about them and unless you're at TC...you don't get to see them...

I loved Grbass...but since he's gone he's fair game for all sorts of fecal matter to be heaped upon him....

I love it...I can't believe he did that well....

ck_IN · 08-10-2001, 10:57 AM

[QUOTE]since he's gone he's fair game for all sorts of of fecal matter to be heaped upon him.... [/QUOTE]

Some of you people need serious professional help.

Listen closely. The man is gone. What he does or doesn't do is irrelevant unless the Ravens play the Chiefs. His TC performance or lack thereof is not our business or concern. Give it up. The jihad is over. The horse is dead and buried. Stop beating it. In the name of all that is good, put down the chalice of bitterness and move on.

I haven't heard this much whining from someone jilted since high school when a friend was dumped before prom night. Get over it gang.

Brock · 08-10-2001, 11:27 AM

If it was Steve Bono we were ripping on, would you still be playing psychoanalyst?

KCTitus · 08-10-2001, 11:30 AM

LOL, I think you answered your own question there, Brock.

I would think you needed help, if you were posting a thread or two daily about Bono.

He's gone too, the same argument would still apply.

58Forever · 08-10-2001, 11:37 AM

CKIN, bitter, me? Of course I am. Until the season starts....

Then I'll get to comment on how bad he does in regular season games...you are right of course, we should let this dog lie, but you know and I know it aint gonna happen...

On the bright side the Grbastard posts have dropped considerably....:)

**Lzen** · 08-10-2001, 11:48 AM

I'm with ck_IN. Just let EG go. I wouldn't mind if I didn't have to hear or read another word about him. That is pretty funny how he kept making errors. Perhaps the pressure is getting to him. I thought he was over that.

MrBlond · 08-10-2001, 11:59 AM

Why the shrill defense of Grbac? If he is gone, the horse is dead, it is a non issue, time moves on, live and let live, etc...why does it bother people if his ineptitude is bantered about in a BB of his former team? KCTitus has said it best (and If I am misquoting I am sorry) when he said that Grbashers (like me) have an investment in his failure. That is true and when I see him trip over his feet, hit receivers in the feet, throw ints, and throw 3 feet behind his WR's on national TV I feel vindicated and so do my bashing brethren. When I see his Head Coach stop practice and tell the team that the offensive units (lead by Grbacs) effort is not acceptable I am heartened. The failures of Gannon, Rison, and Dale Carter are acceptable fodder for discussion without hesitation but be nice to Grbac? I am quite sure that if he leads Baltimore to the Superbowl 'Backers will be out in force to beat their own horses.

KCTitus · 08-10-2001, 12:03 PM

Nope, you got it right, MrBlond. :D

I guess then when folks during the next offseason post about Clinton's next affair we wont hear the staunch defenders come on the BB and shout those topics down because 'he's no longer president, why talk about him anymore', eh?

DaWolf · 08-10-2001, 12:08 PM

Dudes, it was in the paper. Flanagan is the one doing the ripping. I brought it up because A) I think it is funny how Flanny keeps grinding an axe against people he doesn't like (also see Bob Boone) and B) it is, like it or not, a topic of interest on this board (the HBO special and Elvis have been discussed numerous times). This wasn't meant as a slam at Grbac, just an interesting tidbit from the local paper I thought some might want to read. If Grbac topics are not your thing, please skip the topic.

BTW, I still think he's going to have a very good year...
