Kosar, what an idiot!

Big Blue '56 : 3/23/2017 11:03 am
He says he meant no harm. Referring to Clark as GM

Quote:


“We had a bad weekend with Gale Sayers being diagnosed [with dementia] . . . Dwight Clark with ALS,” Kosar said. “I could make a joke about his struggles in picking players when he was here. It almost makes me wonder if maybe it started earlier.”

To joke about someone suffering ALS — as cruel a diagnosis as anyone can ever receive — is shockingly callous. It’s also extremely ignorant to suggest that ALS would affect a general manager’s decision making. ALS does horrific things to the body, but it doesn’t touch a sufferer’s mind. (Stephen Hawking has been making brilliant scientific discoveries for decades while suffering from ALS.)

Wow, what a dumb thing to say.

And you don't try to make it better by saying you meant no disrespect. You say it was a dumb thing to have said and you're sorry.

Yup, sometimes when you're wrong, you need to simply own it..
I'm sure he'll soon follow up with some cookie cutter apology

drafted by some PR guy for him, where he apologies "to anyone who was offended". You know, not sorry he said it or anything
Anyone remember the 30 For 30 about players going bankrupt?

Kosar didn't come off as the brightest guy in the world. I could make a joke about CTE or taking too many hits to the head, but of course I would mean no disrespect.

I'll never forgive this idiot for beating Nebraska in the 1984 Orange

Bowl. Nebraska was a much better team and should have won, Miami got lucky. That Nebraska team might have been the best college team of all time.
Didn't

his daughter go into porn? lol

Yes, although she was no looker
He Emotes a Weirdness  
Suburbanites : 3/23/2017 11:33 am : link
He's always sent a chill down my spine, he just comes off as chillingly odd. Remember the bizarre and cruel comments he made about Rams players while announcing a preseason game a couple of seasons ago? Many speculated he was drunk. His daughter being a porn actress is just another weird foible about him. This latest comment is disgusting but consistent with his bizarre personality. I'm not sure he's a Cleveland institution as much as he needs to be in an institution in Cleveland.
During his playing days Kosar was always known for being very bright.  
Tom in NY : 3/23/2017 11:45 am : link
You have to wonder if he himself has not been affected with something as well...hopefully not, but the slurred speech, and odd decision making lead to this.

I was at that game!! I will not stick up for Kosar on this matter, it was a really dumb thing to say.

I will disagree with you on Nebraska being the better team that day. This was far and away the best football game I've ever seen.

out there. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. To make a joke about it, is more than just insensitive, it's stupid.

Not allowed on this forum, some of you like to make a "vague" hit and run reference and then look away like nothing was said. It's chickenshit.
