Title: 2015 NFL Thread (American Football)
Post by sirmoonie on Aug 10th, 2015 at 2:03pm
The 2015 NFL season is here, my Stones friends. 

A lot of controversy to start.  Tom Brady has disgraced himself to leperhood, and I'm NOT saying that because he married a woman with a goddam German ümlaut in her name.  It's the deal with the last fall's balls.

The Political Correctism police won't leave Pittsburgh's Number 1 son, Jeffrey "Skippy" Reed, alone.  Kickers' lives matter.

http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2015/08/10/former-steelers-kicker-jeff-reed-allegedly-kicked-out-of-hall-of-fame-game/

This is critical because our retard Canuckian kicker managed to blow an ACL making a tackle in the first pre-season game.  WTF, indeed.

The good news is NFL players seem to be doing drugs and getting drunk at usual rates.  There should be some good football in the weeks to come.

Seattle Seahawks      11/2
Indianapolis Colts      8/1
New England Patriots      8/1
Dallas Cowboys      15/1

Even worse than preseason football.  Thankfully the Pirates are not only relevant, but good.  Time to penalize the St. Louis Cardinals for their spygate.  Big four game series is on tap for our teams.  May the home team win!

The "Congenital a abutting foundation" thread was closed very, very prematurely.  That thread was going places.  Places only reached by the "Sirmoonie check PM thread" of 2007.

Goodell needs to go.......his power trip and inconsistencies are pathetic. Judge will likely rule there is no real evidence Brady can be linked to having the balls deflated. Of course The Pats cheat and bend every rule  it's what they do but this time they skate. The only team BTW that voted against the Collective Bargaining Agreement was The Steelers who saw Goodell for the Stooge he is.

Berman is doing a great job.He told the NFL that the way they do business is fucked up. He's done everything possible to encourage a settlement. This is going to an appeal either way. This is a dream case for lawyers. Mo money. Mo money.

SCL, it's the way all the parties decided to proceed.  If it's fucked up, it's their business, not the judge's.

The NFL spent millions on a comprehensive report, and gave Brady and the Pats full opportunity to be heard, represented and to participate.  They declined and lied.  There is nothing wrong with how the NFL has proceeded.

Berman actually pointed out, when telling the NFL that they had no case, that Brady's stats got better when he couldn't moof the balls anymore.  What kind of idiotic mind thinks that way?  He knows dick about football.

The Patriots did not lie and did participate. They took the fine and the 1st rd pick penalty. Brady testified under oath he didn't have anything to do with it. The ball boys testified he had nothing to do with it.Wells told Brady their was no penalty if he didn't turn over his phone. The NFL has lied and manipulated the entire thing every step of the way. Berman told them as much yesterday.

1. If the accused's denials under oath were sufficient, no one would ever be convicted of anything.  If Brady was "under oath" (and its likely HE will later argue that he wasn't), it backfired, because that's when we first heard of the destroyed phone. 

2. I'm not convinced by denials of the accused here, in light of the evidence that was cited in the Wells Report.  The opposite - none of them, including "the Deflator", are credible at all. 

3. Wells did not tell Brady there was no penalty if he didn't turn over his phone.  Wells would have no authority to say that one way or the other.  Wells did not tell Brady he was free to destroy his phone.  If Brady and his many lawyers assumed even for a second that there would be no repercussions for destroying evidence and failing to cooperate in a formal investigation, then they are retarded (and maybe insane).

4. I am not aware of a single NFL lie.

5.  Berman is an idiot, who doesn't understand football, and is stretching way to far for a settlement because he doesn't understand what is in front of him.

The good news is that this morning, Usain Bolt (world's second greatest athlete ever) beat Justin Gatlin in the 100 meters final at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing.  He should be able to bust Gatlin again in the 200.  Gatlin is the A-Rod (Fuck-rod)/Bonds of track sprinters.

What does that have to do with Brady?

16 X 50K = $800,000 = chump change - Brady and the Patriots can just write a check at the beginning of every year to cover a full season of deflated balls.  Make it an even $1 million just to show they've learned their lesson on cheating.

No. The NFL doesn't lie:
But it’s the Deflategate matter that has really called into question whether ESPN has been carrying water for the NFL and Goodell. By now you’ve probably been made aware that the whole story of how Tom Brady had allegedly been involved in a scheme to deflate footballs. That originated with a story by ESPN insider Chris Mortensen that said 11 of 12 New England Patriots footballs were deflated below league standards as part of the AFC Championship game. But the problem is, when you look at emails between the Patriots and the NFL, you’ll find that the story was clearly a plant of misinformation and that the only source that would have had a reason to pass on the misinformation to Mortensen was the NFL. The whole case against Brady in the court of public opinion begins with that ESPN story. And while Mortensen said on the Dan Le Batard Show that he could have done a “better job vetting” the story, he backtracked saying of the story, the footballs were “significantly under inflated.

Title: Re: 2015 NFL Thread (American Football)
Post by sirmoonie on Aug 25th, 2015 at 1:18pm
Whole lot of whacky conjecture in there - NFL used third party network to try to set up a conspiracy to commit malfeasance between Brady and his ball boys?  To what earthly or heavenly end - i.e., why in the name of fucking Christ would the NFL go through such a sketchy ass, low probability scheme to hang the top draw (Brady) in the NFL over the last 15 years?

Anyway, who cares what ESPN says.  We have the actual tests of deflated balls, the Wells Report, the Lord, and more than enough evidence Brady couldn't destroy to biff him hard.  He deserves it.

I saw a brief story this morning that quoted Peyton as saying that he hasn't had any feeling in his fingertips since his neck surgery. Seriously?  Retire man.

My first career was in nursing.  There is no way with that kind of nerve damage he should be playing right now.  One bad hit and who knows what will happen.  It's a bit like watching Favre those last couple years he played.  He was still tremendous fun to watch, but you cringed every time he was hit wondering what had happened to him now.

Drew Brees is No. 2 quarterback in Pro Football Focus rankings



New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is being drafted in the third through fifth round of most leagues. (David Grunfeld, NOLA.com |The Times-Picayune)

August 27, 2015



Pro Football Focus is cranking out top 10 lists for each position unit in the NFL, and the news is encouraging for the New Orleans Saints.

Not only does the website rank Drew Brees as the second-best quarterback in the league, it also puts the Saints' running back corps at No. 8 overall.

On Brees, the website said that "rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated...He faces some challenges this season, with Jimmy Graham now on the Seattle Seahawks, but if his pass to Brandin Cooks on Saturday night was anything to go by, he's in for another fine season in 2015."

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is ranked No. 1 overall.

For running backs, the Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers are ranked in the top three.

The Saints' eclectic backfield featuring Mark Ingram, C.J. Spiller and Khiry Robinson is No. 8, ahead of the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals.

32 years ago today and the birth of the Who Dat phenomenon

By Jeff Duncan, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
on September 01, 2015


Ever wondered how the Who Dat chant started?

The popular rally cry's relationship with the New Orleans Saints actually dates to a WVUE-TV feature story on St. Augustine High School's football team, which aired 32 years ago today on Sept. 1, 1983, according to local sports historian William Taylor.

As part of its high school football preview series, WVUE featured the St. Augustine Purple Knights. In the story, then-St. Aug coach Tony Biagas revealed that the players used a chant on the daily bus ride to practice to set the mood.

"Who dat, who dat, who dat talkin' about beatin' St. Aug?! Who dat?! Who dat?!"

Reporter Ken Berthelot and photographer Avis Landry documented the ritual for the feature story and showed the finished product to sports director Ron Swoboda back at the studio. Swoboda loved it.

After the feature aired that day, WVUE received several phone calls from viewers asking that it be re-aired. The station obliged at 10 p.m.

Three days later, the chants could be heard echoing through the crowd at the Superdome during the Saints' 28-17 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1983 regular-season opener.

A legend was born.

"That's where it started," Swoboda said.

A few weeks later, the famous "Who Dat" song was recorded by Aaron Neville and a group of players known as "The Singing Saints": Brad Edelman; John Hill; Reggie Lewis; Louis Oubre; and Dave Waymer. The song, which actually was a version of "When the Saints Go Marching In," was produced by Carlo Nuccio and brothers Sal and Steve Monistere and copyrighted on Oct. 17, 1983.

WVUE had exclusive access to film the recording session and produced a music video featuring the session and Saints season highlights. The station aired the video throughout its Saints coverage that season.

"It turned into a phenomenon," Swoboda said. "It was the first time the Saints were out of the chute with such a good start (4-2) and everyone was excited about (Coach) Bum (Phillips). It was viral before we knew what viral was."

In southern Louisiana, "who dat" was in wide use before 1980, and was used in chants by African-American schools by the early 1970s and in majority-white schools by 1979, according to Nicholls State University English professor Shana Walton, who led a research team hired by the NFL and later contracted by New Orleans businesses to trace the saying's origins. Patterson (La.) High School and some Southwestern Athletic Conference college teams have also laid claim to the chant over the years.

The phrase has become the unofficial chant of Saints fans far and wide. A few years ago, the Saints even started a pre-game tradition by having a designated player lead the cheer at mid-field before kickoff each of home game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The saying became so popular the NFL and a group that claimed to have trademarked the catchphrase, waged a legal battle over its rights in 2012.

So while "Who Dat" clearly has been around these parts for decades, it's association as the unofficial chant of the Saints dates to Sept. 1, 1983.

"Just like the (Catholic) Church co-opted Mardi Gras, the Saints and NFL co-opted the Who Dat chant," Swoboda said.

That makes no sense at all.  Why would the NFL ever want to harm it's biggest player?

AND, If the fine is going to be $25k, you can expect a LOT of fucked up footballs this year.  That is chump change to every QB in the league.  But, as you are WELL AWARE, this was far more than just equipment tampering - this was a conspiracy to cheat, and then cover it up by the NFL's most famous player - no way could the NFL look the other way.  And they won't.  This is not over.

AND, If the fine is going to be $25k, you can expect a LOT of fucked up footballs this year.  That is chump change to every QB in the league.  But, as you are WELL AWARE, this was far more than just equipment tampering - this was a conspiracy to cheat, and then cover it up by the NFL's most famous player - no way could the NFL look the other way.  And they won't.  This is not over.

Ask the dickwad ass owners of the NFL who pushed Goodell into this. There won't be any fines this year. NOW they have a policy in place to handle the balls. They didn't last year...............Oh and Moonie. Next Thursday. Take the Patriots -7 against the Yinzers. Remember you can't spell stone cold lock without SCL! :willya :solongsucker :waka-jawaka :paristhong

It's going to suck bad, man.  Brady has free reign/carte blanche/green light/thumbs up/Lord's blessing/sanction/Imprimatur of the Court to deflate the flying-ass fuck out of balls, and burn the woeful Steelers' defense to high heaven.  It's going to suck, unless Deebo takes the law into his own hands.  Shades of Fat Kim Davis.  Shades of John Brown at Harper's Ferry.  Shades of Batman.  Shades of Jack Ruby.

The Steelers would have lost even if the Patriots organization hadn't tampered with the headsets.  We can't blame the sketchy headsets any more than we can blame deflated balls.  Balls that were deflated.  Deflated balls, deflated headsets. 

Can you trust the culture of fish sticks?  These people are inherently dishonest.  The witch trials, forced busing, deflated balls.  The haven't even denounced Aaron Hernandez yet, pending appeal.  Where is the outrage?  The moral authority?  Tom Brady remains a free man, while balls continue to deflate.

It's over.

To Who It May Concern,



Hello. My name is Tim Bliss and I live in downtown Cullman. I’m 28 years old and an avid NFL fan of the Atlanta Falcons team. I have noticed over the last several years more and more times than not, WBRC choosing to air games featuring the New Orleans Saints over the Atlanta Falcons.



Yes I realize that we have quite a few folks living here now that are originally from New Orleans that were displaced because of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. I realize that you may want to appeal to those fans. But there are many more Falcon fans here that have lived here a very long time and had grown accustomed to Fox 6 WBRC airing the Falcon games here.



As you can see by this image, Birmingham is an Atlanta Falcons designated TV market. That makes sense considering that Birmingham really is not all that far from Atlanta and that quite a few folks commute from Birmingham to Atlanta and vise versa every single day. New Orleans is twice as far away from Birmingham as Atlanta is. So why do those games get priority over the Falcon games?



To make matters even worse, this weekend the Falcons are playing against the Cowboys. The Cowboys get a huge airing across the nation because of their history and yet this weekend their game is not being aired because they are playing the Falcons. Instead the Saints game against the Panthers is being aired.



I am a very loyal viewer of Fox 6 WBRC and have been for several years. But, I am growing extremely disappointed with the direction this station has decided to take and I am very close to taking my viewership towards the other news stations in the Birmingham TV market.



Thank you,

Tim Bliss

Texans have improved themselves over the off season.  They are well coached, play very well in all facets of the game.  They are not to be taken lightly.  We will have our hands full this weekend and will need to win the turnover battle.

If you need a sure yard DeAngelo Williams was the guy...too cute..too dumb and too unprepared.....regardless Ravens weren't going 0-4...Ya think Tomlin would have noticed the 5 seconds run off to 1:59 left and had clock re-set to 2:04...meaning one more play likely?

I'm one of the few Tomlin supporters left, but that was one weird game.  You just can't let an effort like that get wasted, yet we did, led by Tomlin, and that scurrilous kicker.

The refs strike again!  Detroit got robbed.

The NFL needs to address refs blowing calls in the last few minutes that affect the outcome of games.  Maybe Detroit doesn't get in, maybe they get a field goal, maybe they score a touch down.  Then there was the Fail Mary last season.  Seriously, there must be a way to fix this one.

What's crazy is, they say this is not reviewable, yet everything else within the 2:00 warning, including unprovoked nose picking, intentional yawning, … all reviewed.  This guy does precisely what the rule is intended to prevent, with the game on the line, and all the NFL has is "sorry".

If the Seattle guy simply grabs the ball and takes a knee, doesn't Seattle get a touchback, anyway?  It seems like he overthunked it, when the easier thing was to just grab the ball.  So Seattle wants to take advantage of a play that a smarter player would not have made.  Anyway, yes, strange play, and the NFL needs to do a better job.  Every time you see a few refs cluster around talking, you know something bogus is going to happen.  And we still have this Brady issue with the balls..........

Did Vick always suck?  Why is he such a big name?  What an awful QB.  Probably the worst in the league, other than our 3rd string ponce biffer Landry Jones (cultist out of Oklahoma).

I am curious as to whether Vick was always as bad as he is now.  He really sucks.  Can't throw for jack.  Cannot throw a fucking forward pass.  He's not very bright either, even by the NFL retard standard.  He got Pomeranianed in Leavenworth.

He kills everything?  How did he last in the NFL this long?  He's bloody awful!  I'm serious.  I can't remember watching a QB this bad before.  He can't hit the fat side of a barn.  He couldn't dinghy in the ocean.

Landry Jones has had his 15 minutes of fame. Chiefs will find a way to not lose 6 in a row and are at home. Maclin coming back will help them too. Chiefs 17-9

On any given Sunday....
1. Teams with Coaches like Andy Reid do not lose 6 in a row when at home
2. Teams starting their 4th string QB on the road don't win either

the game turned on the interception when Brown missed the bad throw and tipped it up to a diving Chief

Things are looking pretty bleak in America, and time is running short.  Large segments of the population (like 80%) living at a shaky artificial middle class level, check to check, drink to drink, with no prospects for change except those associated with lottery tickets.  This is what comes of the purposeful idiotic mindset (reveling in fat and ignorance) we adopted more than a decade ago, and a bunch of other stuff, like sloth and slovenliness.

At least I'm a Delta Gold Medallion going into 2016.

Johnny Fishball,

Coaches are allowed on the field to check on injured players.  Even if they were not (and they are), refs have discretion.  It wasn't until Adam Jones decided to plow through a ref that a flag should have been throw.

How about Burfict running all the way down the field with the ball to the exit?  No flag there.

Bengals just lose.  They always lose.

If Joey Porter deserved a flag so did some of the Bungles coaches also, as they were on the field at the same time.  I have never seen a coached flagged for that ever during an injury break.  Pokemon took the bait.  I'll end the conspiracy theorist debate Steelers penalized 10 times for 142 yards vs Cincy 8 times for 79 yards.

SCL..Not sure it was cheap but it was helmet contact and should have been flagged. Had they done that the game might not have gotten out of hand. I have no doubt Porter was out there to stir the pot ala Tomlin's "trip attempt" in Ravens game a while back. But the fact remains with under 2 minutes Bengals take 3 knees in Steeler territory and kick FG to go up by 4. Then the crotch grabbing Hill would never have fumbled. (no flag on him or Burfict for running out of the stadium with the ball?). Yes Broncos will beat Steelers handily but a win is a win as they say Yinzers.

Oh..and here is Burfict driving his knee into Ben's shoulder while he is down...second video down (that is after Burfict intentionally dove at Bens knee early in season)

Thanks sweetpickle- dudes a stud!

The world might be conspiring to give Peyton Manning his second Super Bowl ring, but according to one increasingly trustworthy source, Cam Newton will steal the show at Super Bowl 50.

So says Madden NFL 16, at least. For the 13th straight year, EA Sports has simulated the big game using the latest version of its football video game franchise, and the results are in: Despite a spirited performance by old man Manning, the Panthers will beat the Broncos 24-20 to cap off their impressive season and bring the Vince Lombardi trophy to Charlotte for the first time.

EA’s simulation, this year run on an Xbox One, pits the computer against itself on the All-Madden difficulty setting using freshly updated rosters and stats. Madden NFL 16 produced a dramatic game punctuated by each team scoring in bunches and stepping up big defensively.

NFL legend Bart Starr was victim of 'brutal' secret Alabama hazing

By Joseph Goodman | [email protected]
on February 29, 2016



They beat Bart Starr with a wooden paddle until his back resembled a piece of raw meat. The quarterback was never the same again.

For more than 60 years, Bart Starr and his wife, Cherry, have kept a dark secret hidden away from the narrative of the Hall of Fame quarterback's career. No more. One of the most respected football players in the history of the game, and arguably one of the toughest, was hazed so badly while at the University of Alabama that it derailed his college career, disqualified him from military service and affected him throughout his 16 years with the Green Bay Packers.

In an exclusive interview with AL.com, Cherry Starr debunked the cover story used about why Starr's career at Alabama fizzled before his junior season, and why he struggled with back pain throughout his storied NFL career.

It has long been accepted that Starr hurt his back during a punting exercise at Alabama. That is false, says Cherry Starr, who was with him at the time and throughout his life. Cherry told AL.com the truth is that Bart's injury happened during a gruesome ritualistic paddling for initiation into the university's A-Club for varsity lettermen.

"He was hospitalized at one point in traction," Cherry said. "That was in the days when they were initiated into the A-Club, and they had severe beatings and paddling. From all the members of the A-Club, they lined up with a big paddle with holes drilled in it, and it actually injured his back."

Bart never disclosed the incident involving the lettermen's club, says Cherry, because he thought "it would make him look bad." In declining health following two strokes in 2014, Bart, 82, is no longer able to discuss the events of his career, but the trauma he experienced at Alabama and its aftereffects are things the couple lived through together and have shared throughout their lives.

News articles from 1954 give few details about how Bart injured his back, and five biographies about his life and career, including an autobiography published in 1987, craft a narrative about his back injury around a punting exercise. Bart Starr buried the real reason for his injury in 1954, and his beating at the hands of the A-Club was either never reported or lost history.

"But his back was never right after that," Cherry Starr said. "It was horrible. It was not a football injury. It was an injury sustained from hazing. His whole back all the way up to his rib cage looked like a piece of raw meat. The bruising went all the way up his back. It was red and black and awful looking. It was so brutal."

Alabama tight end Nick Germanos, who was teammates with Starr and also Alabama's senior captain in 1955, described the beatings in sobering terms.

Germanos served in the Marine Corps for 3 ½ years following his graduation from Alabama. He said hazing for the A-Club was worse than anything he experienced in the military.

"It was hell," Germanos said. "Lord have mercy it was a rough initiation."

And perhaps even worse for Starr, who not only broke the A-Club's fraternal code of the era by secretly eloping in May of 1954 — teams used to revoke or reduce scholarships for marriages — but he also had the temerity to wed an Auburn girl and move her to Tuscaloosa.

Starr suffered the worst of it before his junior season, and only a few months after his elopement, says Cherry. Newspaper accounts of the day detail a fascinating cover up when viewed through the focused lens of a revelation almost 62 years in the making.

COVER-UP STORY

There's a chance that Alabama coach Harold "Red" Drew never really knew how his star quarterback from Montgomery came to be injured before the beginning of preseason practice in the fall of 1954. Starr would miss most of the season due to his back injury, and Drew was fired that December.

History has painted a picture of Starr struggling throughout his career at Alabama and never materializing into a good quarterback until Vince Lombardi arrived in Green Bay in 1959. It's not that simple. Starr started his sophomore season, helped Alabama to an SEC championship and, entering his junior season, was lauded by Drew as possibly the best passer in Alabama history.

Drew's Split-T offense leaned heavily on Starr's ability as a passer to keep defenses honest. Unfortunately for Drew and Starr, the quarterback's back injury caused shooting pains throughout his upper extremities. It hurt just to lift his arms, according to later accounts of the injury.

Alabama finished 1954 with an overall record of 4-5-2 (3-3-2 in the SEC). With Starr either sidelined or playing through pain, the Crimson Tide went its final six games of the season without a victory.

The wormhole of what-ifs and fateful coincidences is a fool's game, but if Starr's back had never been injured, then Drew might have had a successful season in 1954 and stayed on as Alabama's coach. Instead, a timeline of events was put into motion that led Paul "Bear" Bryant to Alabama in 1957.

Of course, in the preseason of 1954, Bryant wasn't thinking about Alabama. He was just trying to figure out how to turn his new team, Texas A&M, into a winner. While Bryant's Aggies were being transformed into "Junction Boys" during a hellish two-a-day camp that first week of September 1954, Starr was watching Alabama's preseason two-a-days in shorts. 

The full extent of Starr's back injury was never reported  while he was at Alabama, and it wasn't until the fourth week of the season — Oct. 6, 1954 — that an explanation for his injury was given by the press. Starr was checked into Tuscaloosa's Druid City Hospital on Oct. 4.

With his week in traction to come later in the season, Starr's absence from preseason practice and his bothersome back were noted by local reporters at the start of camp. By all known accounts, though, the injury wasn't serious.

The Birmingham Post-Herald first reported the news on Sept. 4, 1954:

"Quarterback Bart Starr was the only Tider who worked in shorts as Coach Harold (Red) Drew sent the squad through a light afternoon dummy scrimmage. They all worked in shorts in the morning session.

Starr is nursing a minor injury he suffered in Spring training."

Just a few days earlier, however, the Birmingham News offered a report on Alabama's players who were injured the previous spring. There was no mention of Starr. From legendary Birmingham News reporter Alf Van Hoose on Sept. 2, 1954:

"How did the Spring-injured boys appear?

That would be particularly, End Curtis Lynch and Fullback Noojin Walker. The answer's the same for both: Great. Lynch quickly regained his title as the hardest worker on the squad. Walker is running with no limp evident from a bum knee of last Fall and Spring."

Consistent with Van Hoose's report, Starr wasn't mentioned in an injury report leading into the previous spring's A-Day Game. Reporter Naylor Stone did, however, detail a list of six injuries prior to the spring scrimmage in the March 13, 1954, edition of the Post-Herald.

Starr competed in the A-Day scrimmage, completing 4 of 9 passes for 24 yards. Coincidentally, he reportedly was upstaged by backup quarterback Albert Elmore.

It's unclear who first manufactured the story that Starr was injured in the spring, but Starr would later propagate the misinformation while further confusing the timeline. It was extremely rare for Alabama's players to be quoted in the Birmingham papers in the early 1950s, but on the week he was admitted to Druid City Hospital, Starr apparently told the Birmingham News he suffered the injury in August, or less than a month before preseason camp.

From Van Hoose of the Birmingham News, reporting on Oct. 6, 1954:

"The whole trouble started, Starr thinks, from pre-season exercise. He remembers the pain beginning one day after a kicking session with a few of the boys in August. He thought it would go away in a few days, but it didn't — hasn't yet."

That a punter could injure himself in a non-contact kicking session to the point of possibly rupturing a disc is plausible, but that's not the reason for Bart Starr's injury at Alabama, according to Cherry Starr.

To be sure, it was a "kicking session" that altered Starr's career and possibly football history at the University of Alabama. It just wasn't the type of session that happened on the field.

MISINFORMATION

The brutality of Starr's hazing by members of the A-Club left him with a lifelong back injury, according to his wife, but in that first week of preseason camp Alabama's former high school All-American was still hoping for the best.

That he most likely withheld valuable information from his team physician about his savage beating probably didn't help.

A week into camp, and doctors already were at a loss, apparently. It would become a common theme throughout Starr's career, and one that would drive him to seek alternative forms of therapy while with the Green Bay Packers.

In September of 1954, Alabama's team physician, Albert Tatum, sent Starr to Birmingham for an evaluation.

On Sept. 6, 1954, the Birmingham News reported Starr "is believed to be suffering from a possible pinched back nerve." The Post-Herald countered with its own story the following day, based on information from Alabama trainer Fred Posey. From the Sept. 7, 1954, edition of Birmingham's morning paper:

"Posey said Quarterback Bart Starr was examined and x-rayed by Birmingham specialists who discovered his back was only strained."

Nothing appeared to be broken, but Alabama's hopes for a successful season were already coming undone. Another player, tackle Fred Sington, was already in traction at Jefferson-Hillman Hospital with a possible ruptured disc when Starr first tried to run on his bad back. It didn't respond well. On Sept. 9, 1954, Starr reportedly "lugged the chain marker up and down the sideline" during Alabama's first full scrimmage of the fall.

With Sington lost for the year with his ruptured disc, Starr was ruled out for the season opener against Southern Mississippi (called Mississippi Southern College at the time). It was a bitter day for Starr. Not only was his back in constant pain, but Alabama's season opener was in the quarterback's hometown of Montgomery.

After being hyped as a contender for the SEC crown, Alabama lost to plucky Mississippi Southern 7-2. Starr couldn't bear to watch from the sidelines of the Cramton Bowl. After sitting out the entire preseason, he entered the game in the final minutes in a last-ditch effort to manufacture some offense. From the Birmingham News:

"There was one bright moment of hope for Alabama when Bart Starr, who didn't get to work out for a week because of a strain muscle, came in with the time fading out. He got off a 14-yard pass to Lynch and the ball was on the 41. He was trying to make his second cast when Williams swooped in on him, knocking the ball out of his hands for keeps. Three line plays and the game was over."

The following week against LSU in Baton Rouge, La., Starr once again entered the game "when all else failed earlier..." This time, Starr "put the Tide on the way to victory," in the words of Zipp Newman, the Birmingham News' sports editor in 1954. Alabama defeated LSU 12-0, and Starr was the player of the game. He also had an interception on defense. From Newman's account in The News:

"Bart Starr showed what he meant to Alabama. After floundering around with scoring chances, Alabama went for a touchdown when Bart came onto throw three of the finest passes here in many a moon."

In hindsight, it was extremely reckless for Starr to play that day at Tiger Stadium. He missed the next three games, and was eventually admitted to the hospital on Oct. 4, 1954. On the same day Marilyn Monroe's divorce with Joe DiMaggio made front page news in the Post-Herald, the newspaper buried a brief story by the Associated Press about Starr's hospitalization:

"UNIVERSITY, Oct. 4. (AP) — Bart Starr, Alabama's passing sensation, was placed in traction at Druid City Hospital today because of a nagging back injury."

Cherry Starr accompanied her husband to the hospital. The traction prescribed to Starr called for counterweights to keep his legs elevated. He was immobilized for a week. In a story in the Birmingham News two days later, Alabama's team physician "very frankly admitted that Starr's injury could be one of two things: (1) a strained back muscle or (2) disc trouble."

The story's lede echoed Alabama's frustration. "What's the score on Bart Starr?" wrote Hoose.

Starr kept it a secret for nearly 62 years.

'LOST CAUSE'

With Starr in the hospital, the Crimson Tide reeled off three straight victories, including a 27-0 shutout of Tennessee in Knoxville. Alabama was 3-0 in the SEC and churning toward its second straight conference championship. Then Starr returned to action. Playing injured, his presence seemed to disrupt the team's rhythm.

Beginning with its homecoming loss to Mississippi State, Alabama scored just 14 points over its final six games.

Between losses to Mississippi State and Miami, Alabama went scoreless for 16 consecutive quarters, tying a school record. The Crimson Tide was outscored a combined 71-7 over its final three games, losses to Georgia Tech (20-0), Miami (23-7) and, finally, Auburn at Legion Field (28-0).

It was the enigmatic Bobby Freeman who led the rout for Auburn in the 1954 Iron Bowl, giving the Tigers its first victory against Alabama since 1949. Another Auburn standout from that 1954 Iron Bowl, Fob James, would later become governor of Alabama.

Attending the game as a personal friend of Drew, baseball great Dizzy Dean, living in Texas at the time, told the Birmingham News to "watch that Bear Bryant out our way next year. He'll have a team at Texas A&M. You know, he never did take a bad beating."

Bryant went 1-9 in his first season with Texas A&M. In an interesting twist, Starr nearly played for Bryant at Kentucky, but instead signed with Alabama in 1952. It was a fateful decision. Starr's offense didn't score a single point against Auburn in his junior and senior seasons, and a few days after Dean visited Birmingham on an invitation from Drew, Alabama's coach was fired. Starr's injury-plagued junior year marked Alabama's second losing season in half a century.

Things got worse for Alabama and Starr before they got better.

Politics and football have always been wrapped tightly around the Capstone like vines of collegiate ivy — beautiful, but with a tendency to suffocate. As it is sometimes prone to do, Alabama football was choking itself to death in 1954.

Drew, an innovative coach, had a quarterback in Starr, who, before his hazing, had the potential to be the best passer in the nation. Drew's line coach, Hank Crisp, was from the old school, and wanted to run the football. Crisp, who doubled as Alabama's athletic director, was also Drew's boss.

Crisp fired Drew and hired in his place the worst coach in Alabama football history, Jennings Bryan "Ears" Whitworth. In perhaps one of the most inane decisions in college football history, Whitworth benched Starr for most of his senior season and instead ran a ground-heavy offense.

Alabama went 0-10 in 1955, Starr's senior season. In his final game — a 26-0 loss to Auburn — Starr played admirably in defeat. Noted Newman: "Bart Starr was a heroic figure in Alabama's lost cause. He gave it all he had."

Truer words were never written.

MEDICAL DISQUALIFICATION

There are so many unlikely plot twists in the story of Bart Starr's rise to greatness with the Green Bay Packers. For starters, he was drafted in the 17th round on a recommendation by Alabama's basketball coach, Johnny Dee. Starr then had three coaches in four years with the third being an offensive assistant from New York named Lombardi.

The most amazing aspect of Starr's career might be this, though. His back was so badly injured during his time at Alabama that he failed his medical examination with the Air Force after his rookie season in Green Bay.

The military said Starr was unfit for service. He then played 15 more years in the NFL and won five championships, including the first two Super Bowls. He was named Most Valuable Player of both games.

"Thank goodness he failed that physical," Cherry Starr said.

The son of a master sergeant in the Air Force, Starr was a member of Air Force ROTC at Alabama. He was called to active duty  after his first season with the Packers, and there was a great hope at Eglin Air Force Base that Starr could lead the base's football team to service glory.

A story on page 6 of the Feb. 14, 1957, edition of The Command Courier, Eglin's base newspaper, trumpeted Starr's arrival to the northwest Florida installation. Landing Starr's service was "quite a feather in the caps of Athletic Director Bill Bailey and football mentor John Sparks, because they've been hoping for some time that this lad would be assigned to Eglin."

Starr was looking forward to replacing former Eglin quarterback Zeke Bratkowski, who, coincidentally, would later be Starr's longtime backup in Green Bay. It wasn't to be. The commander at Eglin Air Force Base, Col. Frank H. Mears, wouldn't sign off on Starr's service, according to Cherry Starr, "because of the liability." Bart Starr was medically disqualified by the Air Force and discharged in the spring of 1957.

From the May 4, 1957, edition of The Milwaukee Journal:

"GREEN BAY, Wis. — AP — The Green Bay Packers announced Friday that quarterback Bart Starr had received his discharge from the air force and will report here around May 15. Starr, a former Alabama standout, entered service last fall after his first season with the National Football League club."

Starr wrote in his 1987 autobiography that the base commander "refused to sign the medical waiver that would have been necessary for me to remain on active duty. I stayed at Eglin for six more weeks prior to receiving a medical discharge."

Think about this: if Starr had a healthy back, he would have remained in the Air Force for at least two more years. In other words, his pro career might never have materialized if not for that beating by the A-Club.

It's a grotesque irony, and Starr's back trouble hounded him throughout one of the most physically demanding eras of professional football. Starr's dogged persistence got him to Green Bay. From there, uncommon toughness pulled him up the mountain. The NFL didn't keep statistics on sacks throughout most of Starr's career, but in 1969 (the first year Starr's sacks were officially recorded) he was sacked 24 times for a sack percentage of 14.0.

Brett Favre, a longtime admirer of Starr, was sacked more than anybody in the NFL history (525), but Favre's highest sack percentage in a full season was 6.9.

And Starr did it all with a nagging back injury that precluded him from military duty.

"He took a pounding, and I think that was his greatest attribute, his mental toughness," said Cliff Christl, the Green Bay Packers' official historian. "No one could ever question Bart Starr's toughness, and in particular his mental toughness."

DISCOVERY

Starr played and coached through chronic pain his entire career, and the winter temperatures of Green Bay, Wis., presumably didn't help. The Packers regularly flew Starr to Madison, Wis., for back adjustments by a chiropractor.

"He was in so much pain constantly," Cherry Starr said. "They nearly tried anything."

Of course, the locker room culture of Lombardi's Packers probably wouldn't have tolerated a constantly aching player. It's not that Lombardi wanted his players to play through injuries. He didn't even acknowledge that players could be injured.

"Vince Lombardi didn't recognize injuries," said Christl, the Packers historian and longtime sportswriting legend. "He treated injuries as something all in your head."

Regular back spasms, spine adjustments and epidurals were Bart Starr's life throughout his time in Green Bay and into retirement. It wasn't until he moved to Birmingham in the late 1980s and met with doctors at the group fronted by Dr. James Andrews that Starr finally received some permanent relief.

A small fissure, a nearly undetectable crack, was discovered in one of Starr's vertebrae, according to Cherry Starr. The fracture was "basically invisible," she said, and located on the anterior side of her husband's spine. Starr had back surgery "to remove a chip."

Did Bart Starr play his entire career needing back surgery? It's impossible to know for sure, but his injury at Alabama changed not only the course of his life, but also shaped the histories of two of the most storied teams in football history, the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Green Bay Packers.

Brady did not come out of this looking good.  For good reason.  You would have to be an OJ Simpson juror to think he was innocent.

Berman/Katzman thing.  I'm investigating that weird bias for Brady who appears Anglo.  Maybe he's closet Zio.  I'm good at sussing this stuff out.  I'll get back to you guys.
