Not all of this has to be funny, just post anything Retro about the Bolts. Some of it can be so surreal. :eek:

Your article was not all that funny! It was a reminder of how wrong everyone was about Leaf. What BIG hopes we had when the Bolts selected him!
I like this article because it was one of many that picked the '04 Chargers to for the ultimate indignity -- Negative Perfection --

Wow! 0-16, talk about getting owned. Fire Marty and AJ? Having the first pick again? We still would've taken Merriman I'm sure ;) Greatest article ever! :Beer:

I love the name of that website becase it really fits -- cracksmoker.com! Yep, Leaf was a loser!
My local (NY City) paper joked about the chances for the '04 Chargers to do an 0-16. That was a bit harsh even if the article was written in the midst of the Rivers' holdout. Wonder what would have happened if he came into camp and really challenged Brees?

Wow, that was a unbelievably bad trade! How did we ever think that was a good idea?

"With Ryan, you've got someone that has tremendous leadership qualities, whose teammates love him, who's unselfish in terms of spreading the praise around. He's as ready to go as any young quarterback can be, meaning that there's still going to be a learning curve."

Look what people thought of the guy. :D
