McMahon and Staubach

   
   "McMahon and Staubach"
   
   Beer makes you smarter, for:  "It made Bud wiser."
   Anyway, Coach Mike Ditka wanted Jim McMahon to be like "Roger the Dodger" Staubach, memorizing the playbook meticulously, as if Peyton Manning, not reading porn magazines with Donald Duck sunglasses on; indeed, McMahon could throw back the brew and still Tame the Defensive Shrew; alas, and in a positive way, the 1985 Bears were pure excellence.
   McMahon has proclaimed that when Ditka started running William "The Refrigerator" Perry near the goal line; specifically, when he handed the ball off to the juggernaut dude, it felt like a tank ripping off his arm.  These dudes could play, as would admit Grogan and the Patriots of that time period.
   And weren't those Patriot outfits awesome?  I dunno--a Minute Man in a 3 Point Stance or something tattooed on their ivory-white helmets?
  Still, Staubach could've been the only Quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a season if "The Old Man" would've let him call his own plays; alas, and still in a good way, the Titans got a runner at the helm.  
   You never know what's gonna happen in football.  Neurological damage?  That's why they get the millions baby.  You, as a white collar dude have no pernicious anxiety about getting tackled by a Defensive End--so enjoy your health care plan and shut up.  
   NFL players are pure gladiators.  Give the people what they want.
