Title: GolfHos Court OF Public Opinion: Disrespect of Ernie Davis Post by: stroh on September 18, 2008, 08:08:15 AM A statue was commissioned and recently unveiled (timely enough) to commemorate the achievements of Ernie Davis.
Problem: Earnie is enshrined wearing a particular brand of shoes that weren't available until 7 years after his death. Story. (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Nike-bends-time-and-space-to-brand-Ernie-Davis-?urn=ncaaf,108456) Now, before you head straight to Tiger Corp. for Evil Empire type shenanigans, consider this evidence in support of what a boob the artist is: See if you can spot the inaccuracy. Now, before you go all what a boob this beret wearing Latte` drinker is and dismiss how manipulative the Victory Goddess of the sporting industry is, look at further evidence of subtlety: Or, Leonardo DiMoran was just copying verbatim what he was given. Either way, the statue will be redone. (http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf?/base/sports-1/1221209780287170.xml&coll=1) So, what say ye?

Are you some kind of closet Roger Staubach fan?

Are you some kind of closet Roger Staubach fan? Only as an admirer of history. But Staubach was never on That's Incredible! :D Title: Re: GolfHos Court OF Public Opinion: Disrespect of Ernie Davis Post by: Blader on September 18, 2008, 11:37:47 AM In situations like this, the first question I ask is, "Are homo****uals involved?"
That may seem random to you, but it really is not. Title: Re: GolfHos Court OF Public Opinion: Disrespect of Ernie Davis Post by: tdcoly on September 18, 2008, 04:15:02 PM Poor sumbitch is an artiste and was probably given a couple picture of Davis and another couple pictures of football players. So, you get what you get. [sm_dontknow]

Are you some kind of closet Roger Staubach fan? I've hated it for decades, seriously. The one with the little bar across the top to make a total of 3 horizontal ones isn't too bad, but that wide 4 bar one is TeH Sukk. I liked the Namath 3 bar: (http://www.opengroup.com/sports/images/(SC)Joe_Namath_Photo.jpg) I also kind of dug this: (http://bleacherreport.com/images_root/image_pictures/0047/6450/_sc_terry_bradshaw_photo_feature.jpg) Didn't Staubach flirt with that for a while? Hard to beat the classic single bar, which seemed to last forever with the Redskins: (http://www.go4thestars.com/5218jt.jpg) Title: Re: GolfHos Court OF Public Opinion: Disrespect of Ernie Davis Post by: Fuzzy on September 19, 2008, 06:39:40 AM Another classic (and one that every youth football helmet had in the early/mid-70's).
