I get accused of hijacking conversations.
I'll try to limit my discussions to here if I can.
I do come to this site to have some friendly banter, but it is what it is.
I genuinely loathe the Packers......and arguing with you guys is a highlight of my life. Hahahhahahaha
Take that as you will......

Now....Brad Maynard was a heck of a Punter back in da day for Da Bears.....
He did get a bunch of reps....unfortunately....

Do not know if you remember a guy named Bobby Joe Green with the Bears. Very good at coffin corner punts.

I think the Packers were hoping for a Ray Guy when they drafted Ray Stachowicz back in 1981. The only thing they got close was the Ray part.

Sorry, that name doesn't register in my memory bank.

That is probably because he was so short lived and his blunders were in the preseason. A Mike Sherman pick, which I foolishly tried to defend.

Not to change the subject but recall a Bear placekicker who was considered very good at a time when kickers were good when they only hit 50-60 per cent of their attempts. His name was Mac Percival.

Do you remember Tom Birney? A left footed kicker, I remember him shanking a FG really bad, like missed by about 15 to 20 yds to the right, but there was a penalty, so he got another try and missed that one by even more than the first one.

Might've been before my time or just missed him in the never ending line of kickers!!!!!

Lou Groza. Maybe mediocre in his stats but not in his time. Steve Mira. I watched him kick 50 yard field goals pregame and was amazed. Myhra

If I had been born the son of an NFL owner, I'd probably live my life exactly like him rather burn out than fade away. I just hope you didn't **** off too many people and you ended up going to the bad place Jim.
I always thought you were entertaining for what it's worth.....
Your dad was a ***** for leaving Baltimore in the middle of the night though.....not saying just saying.

Stachowicz came out of college as the best kicker outside of Mikhail Baryshnikov or the Rockettes - that was a huge let down because as I recall, we were in punter's hell for a long time.

Yeah ... the guy rode himself hard and he looked it. I remember him saying one of many things that came across as idiotic and mentally stunted that really got his sorry keester in trouble as the Colts were riding Manning to a Super Bowl - don't remember the specifics ... oh, and his guitar collection, something...something...?
