I didn't see a NFL discussion area, so here we go.

10,15,20 years ago I remember seeing a story on tv about a father who was grooming his young son to be a future NFL quarterback. He had this excessive workout routine and it got quite a bit of publicity at that time. I remember the kid had blonde hair and lived out west (maybe CA). Does anyone else remember this and whatever happened to that kid? Is he playing nowadays?

I bet you're thinking of Todd Marinovich.

Here's a story I came across, printed in the USA Today in 2001.

Who, that's him. Thanks so much for finding that! What a sad ending though, I guess his father's high expectations and pressure led him down the path to drugs.

Can Indy go undefeated? That's the big story. Will they rest their regulars to get ready for the playoffs? I wouldn't.

I think going undefeated carries more cache than winning the Superbowl! It hasn't been done since l972 Miami. It's so much more rare, more of an accomplishment.

Blast you Indy! This should have been a no-brainer easy win for you! All you had to do is win this, and my Broncos would have clinched the division. But noooooo!

It's otay Granny, we needed the experience of knowing how it feels to lose (and at home) so's we don't repeat in the future. We'll win the whole thing, that's what counts.

Thanks, Gal!! I just hate to lose. But I guess if they have to lose 1 game, better this one than the SuperBowl. lol

Ladytex, I'm with you--if for no other reason, to have it happen so the Dolphin players would quit rubbing it in everyone's faces with that champagne celebration.

Cheering for the Seahawks all the way here! But, have to say that I hope that Indy is able to play strong despite the Dungy tragedy. What a horrible time for them all!

I think it's time for Brett Favre to hang it up.
