    I honestly believe backup quarterbacks enjoy their lives more than the starters do.

    Asked long afterward who he thought was the most valuable player for that Dolphins team, Morrall answered, “Bob Griese for breaking his ankle so I could play.”

    RIP to helluva pro

    The Jimmy Orr play was in SB III, not SB V.

    Guy could pick his spots. He retired with 3 rings and maybe should have had a fourth if the colts don't gag SBIII. If the Colts win that game and finish 16-1 then he's at the helm of two of the greatest teams ever. His numbers weren't great (74 career passer rating) but I talked/interviewed him several times in retirement and he was a joy. And the flattop remained brilliant until the end.
