Ty Cobb was white. In 1911 he was white.
Check this: "He had no teeth, and he was slobbering all over himself. I'm thinking, 'You can have your money back, just get me out of here. Let me go be an accountant." I can't tell you how badly I wanted out of there." -- Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert(1983).

Lambert works in PA now for the game commission. I went hunting with my brother in law a few years ago and Jack fined my brother in law.

I still say Jack Ham was better than Lambert. Nothing against Lambert, but Ham was a nutcase. He just did not look like it like Lambert did. Dobre Shunka was from my hometown.

Couldn't agree more. I never saw anyone like Jack Ham until Lawrence Taylor came around, and thats saying something. Ham would dive 12 feet on the fly and trip some guy up by the shoes, then get up and do it again on the other side. All the while having the cutest lisp.
Strange man, that Jack Ham. Dobre Shunka.

quote:Mike Tomlin's first practice as the Steelers' head coach proved more than its billing when he put the team through what many believe was the most physical practice session at Saint Vincent College since the days of Chuck Noll.
No one could remember a tougher camp practice in Bill Cowher's 15 years as coach, not even a player who was with Cowher from the get-go.
"That was pretty tough, pret-ty tough," said former linebacker Levon Kirkland, a Steelers rookie in 1992 who is spending this week as a scouting intern with the team. "I'm sure the guys who have been here under Cowher are used to a certain way. You do it that way it's kind of tough. Makes you wonder what the evening practice will be about."
The afternoon practice turned into an indoors walk-through on a basketball court because a thunderstorm passed through Latrobe just before the players were to take the field. Nevertheless, that brutal morning session will stay fresh in their minds for a long time.
"Coach Cowher's not here anymore. We're doing it the way coach Tomlin's doing it," Hines Ward said. "He wants to prove to everybody he can be a great coach and he has a set way with the team. If you don't like it, get off the ship."

Here is an article I found from the Post-Gazette about 2 Steeler fan groups from my home town. They were well known back in the day. Gerela's Gorillas and Dobre Shunka. Those guys could dump the booze.

I love a good game, maybe I just haven't seen one in a while... A few seasons of Raiders and ( er's games will make any fan sick... I do hate how slow it's gotten. Baseball is suposed to be slow, not football. I record the games and fast forward past all the bullshit.

Bill Robinson, who had ties to Mets and Yanks, dies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS -- Bill Robinson, an outfielder who played on Pittsburgh's 1979 World Series championship team and had ties to the Yankees and Mets, died yesterday. He was 64.
Robinson, a former Yankees outfielder and Mets hitting instructor, was in Las Vegas to visit the Dodgers' minor-league team and was supposed to meet director of player development De Jon Watson to drive to the ballpark. But Robinson failed to show up at the appointed time and was found dead in his hotel room, Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch said. The official cause of death was pending, he said.
To Yankees fans, Robinson will best be remembered for his part in the Clete Boyer trade. Boyer, a terrific defensive third baseman who died June 4 at 70, was dealt by the Yankees to the Braves in November 1966 for the highly touted Robinson, who batted .196, .240 and .171 and never lived up to expectations in three seasons for the Yankees.
"I was supposed to be a black Mickey Mantle," he told Newsday's Steve Marcus in 1986. "I made the mistake of hitting a home run in my second game."
Robinson, who also saw action at third base and first base, played in the majors from 1966-83 and had 1,127 hits, 166 homers and 641 RBIs for the Braves, Yankees, Phillies and Pirates. He hit .304 with 26 homers and 104 RBIs for the 1977 Pirates.
Mets fans will best remember Robinson as the team's hitting instructor from 1984-89. "On behalf of the entire Mets organization, we send our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to Bill's wife, Mary Alice, and the Robinson family," chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said in a statement. "As hitting coach, he played an .integral role in the 1986 Mets' world championship. More importantly, he was a devoted family man, a consummate professional and one of the classiest men in our sport."
Robinson also served as a minor-league hitting coach for the Yankees and was a minor- league coach and manager in Philadelphia's farm system. He managed in the Venezuelan League and was an analyst for ESPN's "Baseball Tonight" in 1990-91. Most recently, he was the Dodgers' minor-league hitting coordinator. "Bill was a wonderful family man and a great baseball player, coach, manager and friend to .everyone he met," Dodgers .general manager Ned Colletti said. " ... Everyone he came into contact with was better for having known him."
Robinson is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter. Services were pending.
