GREAT Hobsin Article about Sam Wyche

The part about a long TD to Trumpy being potentially the first time a TE had been split out wide...well, let's just say that is another thing the NFL should tip their hat to Mr. Brown for helping to create the game as it sits today.  

I will be purchasing Sam's book as soon as swimming champs are over Tuesday (I volunteer a lot of time to coaching swimming and the season ends Tuesday and my life returns to somewhat normal).  Can't wait.

I still hope and pray that Troy, Katie, and Marv would reach out to Sam to help the Bengals self-scout.  Get him back in the game.  Give him a little money.  I think the man still has a hell of a lot to offer, and I almost got teary-eyed reading that he feels 20-30 years younger since the transplant.  Maybe I just feel like if the Bengals win a ring this year, I would like him to be a part of it and get the ring that eluded him as coach.

Love you, Sam!

I appreciate your throwing Butch a well deserved bone.  He does a good job, and is a sincere homer.   I also acknowledge that he has not been afraid to take the team to task at times - of course, not as much as we do LOL.


And Wyche may be my all time favorite Bengal.   I loved his heart and his genius.  He might be wicky wacky at times, but he was a true innovator and a think outside the box type of guy.

I too would love to see him return as a QB consultant at least.

I have always felt that the team as barely acknowledged their former greats and should be more active in recruiting their involvement.
