I think we should all "Honor" her by getting together with our significant others.

Is it just me, or are you all still staring at that picture hoping a button pops?

I thought he did a commercial for Nutrisystem, but the only copy I could find was a point you phone at the TV video, so get him hawking lawn care products instead:

Just as many memories of him coaching Johnny U. and the Colts as the Dolphins.

So, Barreiro on KFAN had Bud Grant on the show to talk about Shula. At one point, Grant said Shula should have his name on a trophy, because Lombardi has his name on one, and he wasn't as successful as Shula........

Re: Don Shula, 1930-2020
Yes Lombardi was as successful, just didn't do it as long. Lombardi's name is on the trophy for a reason. 3 straight titles. Nobody has ever done that nor ever will. Shula had a shot but lost his first one.

It's called viking butthurt, a contagious condition that someone catches once they declare their allegiance to that team.

RIP coach Shula. Undefeated AND untied. Curly was first "undefeated" and first 3-peat.

Actually, there were three zero-loss seasons before Lambeau did it in 1929. Gotta love those Canton Bulldogs.

Remember when the Packers were courting Shula to be their coach? Shula wanted part ownership of the team, so no deal. I think he would have been a good fit in Green Bay. Might have spared fans some rough seasons in the late 70's and early 80's.

Oh damn right they all are. I always love rubbing it in to spermheads fans their best coach was born and raised in Wisconsin. As for Shula its sad that another icon from my youth is gone. RIP coach

Most people discount Lombardi's record of 37-21-2 as Giants offensive coach. Jim Lee Howell often said the offense was Lombardi, defense was Landry and all he did was make sure the balls were inflated. Add the Giants games to the Packer and redskin years and it is a lot more impressive.

I cannot find anything on this. I do remember someone interviewing Shula and asking him what it would take for him to come to Green Bay as their Head Coach. Shula answered I would want to own part of the team. I had heard other talk of this, at the time, as well. It had to be sometime between the Bengston and Devine years.

Email Cliff Christl and ask if he can shed any light on this. Would be as good a resource as I could recommend.

I remember her from when I was growing up in the '70s. Her voice was very "distinctive". RIP Carol.

Knew his place was as a backup to Starr and never let it deter him from supporting Starr and the team. Another classy guy gone. RIP.

I remember anytime Bart went out with an injury I’d be nervous that it would hurt us. I really shouldn’t have been nervous. Zeke was always cool, calm and competent. He was a superb backup. RIP!
