Damn, he was a fixture for me as a kid growing up in in Northern California.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

He is going to be buried dressed in a Dracula costume. :lol:

Ah back when the Raiders were a colorful bunch of meatheads. RIP Snake you were a great one.

LOL there is a reason he threw over 200 interceptions.

I remember his as QB; a blast from the past.

Because his stats are horrible. Even by the standards of the interception happy 70s.

perhaps, but when it mattered, in the big memorable moments of football's golden era, there was no better, more memorable, gamer at the helm

he deserves to be in the hall

I know what I saw

Hey I love Stabler but this is just not true. How many AFC Championships did the Raiders lose in that decade? What was his playoff record? Not every player that I like deserves to be in the hall.

ridiculous...how many times were the raiders in the championship game despite having to compete with the dolphins and steelers at the zenith of their respective dynasties

the snake was the real deal

I feared this was going to happen. Mobile QBs just don't have the durability.  :cry:
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
