Trent Green 1999...that was a brutal play. Harrison surely received an honorary Super Bowl ring from the Rams that year when Kurt Warner took over.

ah, he seemed remorsefull, but so did Albert and i found this interesting...

Green, 29, signed a four-year, $16.5 free agent deal with the Rams after a breakthrough year with the Washington Commanders in his first year as a starter. He threw 23 touchdown passes and 3,441 yards in 14 starts last year, and led Washington to a 6-3 finish.

he signed a four year 16.5 dollar deal! what a steal

It was also 1999. I bet this is cheaper than your skateboard!

Check out this blurb taken from the article...

"The Rams' backup quarterback is Kurt Warner, who has played in one game as a reserve in his career, a mop-up role in the season finale last year at San Francisco."

Damn a guy who only played in one game won the superbowl and was MVP? Impossible!

(the weapons around him carried him)

Maybe Jerry should sign a few of the Philthadelphia cheerleaders,,, don't get much nastier than THAT~!

Hines Ward?

 

[stag hunter]

He's notorious for those blindside crackback hits wayyy behind the play, maybe thats what its in reference to..

I heard a very interesting discussion on local NE radio yesterday evening night regarding Harrison's techniques.

Basically, it's the Romonowski school of after whistle 'extras', coupled with non-stop trash talk.

Yeah, I like Rodney Harrison, but as with most things, where there is smoke there is probably fire.
