Kinda reminds me of something Bill Belichick would do. Oh wait! 2017 - Steelers release James Harrison on December 23rd and three days later, Belichick and the Patriots snatched him up.
@@jimwerther Yeah, but Belichick DID do this with LeGarette Blount. That move cost the Patriots some things on the down low. They stayed off a couple draft picks right after that. I'm from Pittsburgh and have friends in the organization. They leveraged going public for the picks. Robert Kraft and Dan Rooney ironed it out on a private call between the 2 of them.

@@MeneerHerculePoirot Truthfully, I don't know. Ever since the NFL caved to the woke, anti-American crowd, I largely stopped following. My guess, though, is that Steeler fans hate NE more than they do CLE because Belichick owns Pittsburgh in the playoffs, and Cleveland hasn't won a football game in 283 years.
Man, sports fans have the longest memory. Especially if they felt slighted by something. I still have to hear my old man complain about the damn tuck rule.
I really enjoy the amount of time spent on Rick Moser. This was a different era of football, I hesitate to say a greater era but these guys often bled their teams colors. They played for each other & the cities they represented as much as the almighty dollar. I just really enjoyed this reminder of a guy I had forgotten about. My Steeler fan hood runs deep, as I was just a little boy when Moser played, but I do remember him. I remember his preseason play more than anything. Thank you for this story, I know it was about Shula & Bradshaw but I enjoyed the entirety of the story.
Moser has acted in several movies, most notably as the high-sock-wearing assistant football coach in Dazed and Confused, as a football player in Everybody's All-American, and as himself in Fighting Back: The Rocky Bleier Story. He has appeared in the popular television series The Facts of Life and Diff'rent Strokes. He also had recurring roles on ABC's General Hospital and HBO's 1st & Ten. Moser appeared in numerous national TV commercials and had modeled in print advertisements.
The NFL has since somewhat limited this practice--ironically because of the Steelers. I remember back in the 1990s how much Bill Cowher and Tom Coughlin hated each other and Coughlin would claim players off the Steelers practice squad days before the Jaguars and Steelers would play each other. After multiple instances of this happening the NFL banned teams from signing practice squad guys from other teams if that specific team was their next opponent.
This was an awesome history lesson/video. Loved it. What a great job researching this story, along with excellent video clips. Really outstanding job on this one
That's also due to the salary cap and the "veteran minimum salary", both of which incentivize teams to not keep established players as these players are more expensive than younger players.
It was more because Bradshaw really owned the Miami dolphins during Shula's tenure as a head coach... But it was never a personal thing... Both had a mutual respect for one another....
And if you see the hits he took, it's amazing he played as long as he did. In today's era where you can't touch QBs or WRs, Bradshaw would have excelled.
What a waste of time. Here's all you need to know: Shula claimed two players (who were not very high on the depth chart when they were active) who the Steelers were trying to activate from IR by putting them waivers. This occurred 2 days before the teams were scheduled to play each other. Bradshaw didn't like that this was done despite a gentlemen's agreement by teams not to do such a thing, so he threw a meaningless pass with the game decided instead of just running out the clock. Shula didn't like it so he allegedly had a minor shouting match with Bradshaw after the game. End of story, end of "feud".
Yup. That sums it up. Kind of rich to hear about Bradshaw whining about this. He played for the most roided up team in NFL history, and he's worried about a "gentleman's agreement". LOL.

The thing is that Shula and Dolphins were a force in the early 80's. Making it to the divisional round in 81 and losing to the Chargers. 82 making to the Super Bowl and losing, 83 losing in the divisional round to the Seahawks, 84 losing the Super Bowl to the 49ers, 85 losing the AFC Championship to the Patriots.

Fun Video. I enjoyed watching it. In 1992, the Giants claimed TE John Brandes from Washington in very similar circumstances. It was December, and the two teams were preparing to play each other later that week. It was a home game for New York, however. Washington won easily, and I do not remember any animosity between the teams. I recall an interview before the game in which John Brandes said that he was now a Giant, and he was obligated to do his best to help that team win. I hope my memories are accurate.
A buddy of mine interned for the GIANTS in 1992 and 1993. He picked up John Brandes from the airport when the GIANTS signed him. He developed a friendly relationship with John Brandes and said he was a great guy. When the GIANTS later released Brandes, my friend gave him a ride back to the airport. Brandes gave him one of his GIANTS hats.
@@fredleeland2464 not at his former great plateau unquestionably,but he wasn't done ,made post season 4 times in 80's captured 2 road playoff victories ,advanced to 1 conference championship game, would have been three if not for a mark stork dropped pass late inthe divisional round game vs the broncos ,with Pittsburgh only needing a fg too capture a victory ,heading into Cleveland for the conference championship game ..
Rick Moser was one of the football coaches in the movie, “Dazed and Confused.” The coach telling the players about not getting soft during the summer in the beginning portion of the movie.
The move was obviously to wreck the Steelers chances of winning the game. Have to agree with Bradshaw on this one. This injured reserve rule of 3 sounds dumb and I hope the NFL changed this afterwards.
Yeah the NFL eventually changed this stupid IR rules and being able to claim IR players after using up 3 freebies because when in the mid to late 1990s I don't remember ever hearing about IR players being claimed nor having the stupid 3 freebies thing either.
The least he could have done was keep the video brief. The entire "feud" part lasted about 30 seconds and the whole story could have been told in 2 minutes.
A Bradshaw-Shula feud??? Didn't know that but I knew that Bradshaw didn't get along with Steelers' head coach Chuck Noll either. Good 'ol Terry must have been a bit on the difficult side lol..
He disliked Noll for how Bradshaw thought he was misused early in Bradshaw's career. Noll was not personally close to his players at all and Bradshaw, a small-town kid from Louisiana, really wanted a father-figure type when he got into the NFL.
Why is that a thing in the first place? Only getting three guaranteed people back from injuries seems detrimental if someone wants to yoink your star players and they can do without repercussions.
I was at that game. Oh I remember that play very well. I was so confused at first, I didn't understand why Shula was running up the sideline shaking his fist at Bradshaw. Shortly thereafter, through one of the small speakers mounted on the posts at Three Rivers,* I heard Cope say that Shula was calling Bradshaw "bush" for attempting to run up the score when the game was in hand. This was also discussed on Cope's post game show. Ah the good old days, I would listen to Cope's show all the way home to WV from the parking garage until I lost signal. Strangely, there was virtually nothing about the incident later on the 11:00PM news. *No video screens back then. Those speakers on the posts and in the restrooms provided the game audio. Many folks sat with portable radios and even a few portable small screen TVs to supplement the coverage.
Bradshaw, your boy, was just that. This is a business! Bradshaw crying about he 'took two of my players'!! No dude, they were NOT YOUR players, they were the Steelers organization's players, The ROONNEYS!!! If THEY weren't crying and whining about it, why was Bitchshaw, I mean Bradshaw? Please, give me a break!!
If we're being honest, neither team had a shot at the playoffs. Both teams would have had to win out. The Stealers might have made it(they would have swept Houston who ended up getting in). But Miami would have finished 10-6 which would have had them still out of the playoffs(both wildcard teams were 11-5).
@@MrPapageorgio10 That is quite the unusual occurrence for a playoff bracket; AFC was wide-open, and I'd say all those teams had a shot at winning the AFC (I don't think the Oilers would have, but I feel good about the other 4 team's chances back then; not so much today, as the players are older now).
Great video! Here is a potential video: On December 16, 1979, Terry Bradshaw ran the ball against my Bills ... he got tackled, his helmet came off and Bills LB Jim Haslett kicked his head and Terry was bleeding, but missed only one play. Former Buffalo News writer Larry Felser said: "Haslett claimed he thought he was kicking the ball, but that's not possible, the ball has more hair."
Yeah the IR rules were very stupid back then. Today's IR rules are million times better than what they were during the 1970s into the 1980s. Who ever thought of the IR rules for the 1970s and 1980s needs to get their heads examined.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about the Steelers-Dolphins rematch in Miami the next year, which the Dolphins won in a blowout. Did Don Shula try to rub it in Buddy Ryan-style on the Steelers in that game?
In a second playoff game against NE the Broncos Tim Tebow faced his old Broncos coach fired earlier but picked up by NE prior to this game. Guess who won?
Oh man, i remember that. Played the game in New York but the Saints were the home team, even changed the logo on the field didn't they? The Saints went through some serious shit that year.
@@leogetz3570 Yeah, the 2005 Saints lived in a stark reality; I don't even consider what they had to be a football season really, but more of a life circumstance. Humph, they win 3 games in an untenable situation, yet there are other teams with nothing going on like that and they win 0-2 games (that wasn't a great Saints team either, nothing at all like the 2008 Patriots without Brady).
So lets be straight........a Professional Sportsman did his job and ensured a healthy win for his team (that really needed it) and the opposing Coach - who was the model of NFL professional conduct - was upset about it? Yeah, right.
This is no big deal. This guy makes this little Mickey mouse scenario not even big enough to qualify as a footnote and acts like it's Ohio State and Michigan during the Ten Years War. Two HOFers feuding over the acquisition of a 4th string RB? Get real. Nobody cared and neither should you.
Damn, Shula was a genius... With those rules I would have done the same thing. Doesn't matter if the outcome of the game was meaningless, or if he needed the players, Don Shula does what it takes to win.
I have nothing wrong with it at all. Gentleman's agreement? LOL this is the NFL, man. He probably did it to pick their brain. And nobody stole anyone. It was done within the rules.
Yeah it was legal, but it was still a dick move by Shula. Funny thing was karma came back to bite Shula for the rest of his coaching career - He never did find a successor to Larry Czonka.
Don Shula was and always will be the greatest coach in NFL history! Even if Bill Belcheat surpasses him in the win column, many of those wins were by cheating such as spying on the opposing team and deflating footballs. New England has been fined numerous times and has even had draft picks taken away from them. And that's only the times they have been caught.
@@stevenpipines7773 That's why every year video game enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the release of the new Shula video game, have you reserved your copy of Shula '23 yet? Total number of wins says you coached forever, winning percentage carries more prestige and separates the hangers-on from the coaching geniuses! You may want to do a search to find out who leads ALL NFL Head Coaches in winning percentage, I'll hand you a 2-word hint... JOHN MADDEN!!!
I will never forget how "Saint Shula" rigged the 1982 AFC Championship Game by not covering the field thus negating the Jets team speed. Too bad for the Jets. I think they would have beaten that Redskins team that year. The 1982 Jets were loaded.
@Superlungs double the talent of Bradshaw, that's why Marino got into the hall of fame,on the first ballot,,it took Bradshaw longer,the voters know who's better,
@Superlungs anyone that knows football, knows Marino was far superior,,Bradshaw had far better teams( so many hof players- 8,9 ) Marino had one hof player( stephenson,and he only played five yrs)
@Superlungs this shows me how much football u know, Marino got in the first ballot, with over 94%,rivers might not get in for at least 5 more yrs,,if he gets in ,
I always thought the Dolphins held on to Shula way too long they should have given him the Tom Laundry Treatment and showed him the door sometime after their SB 17 loss to the Skins.
U do know they made the super bowl two yrs later,and made 2 more conference championship games,before Shula retired, ps- have u not seen what's happened to Miami without him?,,haven't won a playoff game in 22 yrs,and haven't made a conference championship game since 1992,,, Shula is still god in Miami,,
@@karlcooper7016 Yes but what I meant is no one in Miami like Shula. I believe he had around an 80 % record and no loosing seasons. Not bad since the owner for years never really paid players big money. He was a football genius.
DUDE love your stuff, but this js a reach...i am old enough to not only remember this era, i remember this weekend, because i am a Browns fan...DUDE WAS at non impact player at that point
1980. the end of the super steelers. just a matter of which ones retire each season now. steelers were old and aging. phins still had a few leftovers from the perfect squad. both had old qb's leading to that strange path both took at the '83 draft. did bradshaw even win a playoff game after this point? i know steelers had a few playoff misses then bolts beat them at home in playoffs (i think that was last bradshaw game) before raiders destroy them in la in playoffs.
Bradshaw played well in the playoff game vs San Diego in 1982. The Stealers had a 28-17 lead in the 4th quarter. The defense blew that. But he himself threw for 325 yards and 2 TD's and also had a rushing TD. The next season he was out the entire year but came back and started week 15 @ NY and threw for 77 yards and 2 scores before his elbow gave out. That was his last game so it wasn't like he fell off like a lot of players do, his body just couldn't do anymore.
@@Rockhound6165 that steel curtain d was no more by then. and bradshaw paid the price for many a vicious hits. ed 'turkey' jones reverse body slam sack and the hit boys put on him in that s b when he threw that td pass to swann are two that come to mind.
i think noll preferred d with the steel curtain now done and he fell in love with senore sack. rooney may have been concerned with so called marino baggage rumours out there with marino playing too close to home.
Shula recommended Chuck Knoll to the Rooneys when they hired Noll, and those two coaches always respected each other. So while I salute Bradshaw for his leadership here, I'd be more interested in what Noll had to say, which probably was nothing.
LOL Shula knew nothing about them...BS. I will guarantee you he had scouted those guys before they were ever drafted and then watched them play with the Steelers. And Bradshaw was bush league with that play. There was no feud between them, they played against each other for over a decade and most of it, they were professional. Shula churned that roster from 1980 and went back to the Superbowl in 1982. Claimed players off waivers was a part of that. In 1980, his leading rushers were Delvin Williams and then his QB David Woodley...he desperately wanted his new power running back, Moser wasn't it but he had a shot at it. It turned out to be Andra Franklin the next season.
Duh? You really don't know Bradshaw, back then he wasn't even average at qb, he was carried to those Super Bowls by the defenses and the other's on offense. Swan and Stallworth were always making acrobatic catches cause Terry couldn't throw accurate passes, but he had two great WR's.
WTF does this has to do with Bradshaw? Moser could never start for either team. Bradshaw had no class at that time. Bradshaw exposed himself as bush...
Bradshaw was and is a chump, everyone in his mind should kowtow to the Steelers. Had Noll done that to the Dolphins, Bradshaw would have said nothing. He thinks that his opinion really matters when his own coach thought he was a braying jackass.
Awesome video! As a lifelong Steeler fan, I never knew this. Amazing & thank you for it!

He developed a friendly relationship with John Brandes and said he was a great guy. When the GIANTS later released Brandes, my friend gave him a ride back to the airport. Brandes gave him one of his GIANTS hats.
Great video, Big Pittsburgh Steelers fan here for many years, I subscribed. Terry Bradshaw is my favorite all time Steelers player! :))
Idiot 😅
The Steelers were on their way down In the 80's. Their dynasty days were over.
Chuck Noll was done by 82 and held onto his legacy until moving on in 92

Rick Moser was one of the football coaches in the movie, “Dazed and Confused.” The coach telling the players about not getting soft during the summer in the beginning portion of the movie.
The move was obviously to wreck the Steelers chances of winning the game. Have to agree with Bradshaw on this one. This injured reserve rule of 3 sounds dumb and I hope the NFL changed this afterwards.
Exactly
Yeah the NFL eventually changed this stupid IR rules and being able to claim IR players after using up 3 freebies because when in the mid to late 1990s I don't remember ever hearing about IR players being claimed nor having the stupid 3 freebies thing either.
Apparently Story boy (JG9) doesn't know what the definition of a feud is, much less a "bitter" one!
He knows click-bait though
The least he could have done was keep the video brief. The entire "feud" part lasted about 30 seconds and the whole story could have been told in 2 minutes.

A Bradshaw-Shula feud??? Didn't know that but I knew that Bradshaw didn't get along with Steelers' head coach Chuck Noll either. Good 'ol Terry must have been a bit on the difficult side lol..
He disliked Noll for how Bradshaw thought he was misused early in Bradshaw's career. Noll was not personally close to his players at all and Bradshaw, a small-town kid from Louisiana, really wanted a father-figure type when he got into the NFL.
Why is that a thing in the first place? Only getting three guaranteed people back from injuries seems detrimental if someone wants to yoink your star players and they can do without repercussions.
Wasn't Shula also the head of the rules committee at the time, so if anyone knew how to game the system, it would be him?
lol... yep
I'm sure Shula was hoping he could get some intel. That's the only reason.
I was at that game. Oh I remember that play very well. I was so confused at first, I didn't understand why Shula was running up the sideline shaking his fist at Bradshaw. Shortly thereafter, through one of the small speakers mounted on the posts at Three Rivers,* I heard Cope say that Shula was calling Bradshaw "bush" for attempting to run up the score when the game was in hand. This was also discussed on Cope's post game show. Ah the good old days, I would listen to Cope's show all the way home to WV from the parking garage until I lost signal. Strangely, there was virtually nothing about the incident later on the 11:00PM news.
*No video screens back then. Those speakers on the posts and in the restrooms provided the game audio. Many folks sat with portable radios and even a few portable small screen TVs to supplement the coverage.
Bradshaw was right about Shula.
Don't complain about a 'bush' move only two days after you made a bigger 'bush' move yourself.
Bradshaw, your boy, was just that. This is a business! Bradshaw crying about he 'took two of my players'!! No dude, they were NOT YOUR players, they were the Steelers organization's players, The ROONNEYS!!! If THEY weren't crying and whining about it, why was Bitchshaw, I mean Bradshaw? Please, give me a break!!
If we're being honest, neither team had a shot at the playoffs. Both teams would have had to win out. The Stealers might have made it(they would have swept Houston who ended up getting in). But Miami would have finished 10-6 which would have had them still out of the playoffs(both wildcard teams were 11-5).
@@matthewdaley746 the fuck are you babbling on about?
That was a crazy season. Every team in the AFC playoffs had the same record of 11-5
That opening day loss in Buffalo (the one that ended the streak) came back to bite the Dolphins in the end.
@@MrPapageorgio10 That is quite the unusual occurrence for a playoff bracket; AFC was wide-open, and I'd say all those teams had a shot at winning the AFC (I don't think the Oilers would have, but I feel good about the other 4 team's chances back then; not so much today, as the players are older now).
Great video!
Here is a potential video: On December 16, 1979, Terry Bradshaw ran the ball against my Bills ... he got tackled, his helmet came off and Bills LB Jim Haslett kicked his head and Terry was bleeding, but missed only one play.
Former Buffalo News writer Larry Felser said: "Haslett claimed he thought he was kicking the ball, but that's not possible, the ball has more hair."
I specifically remember that play. You could see Hasslet reaching out to stop on Bradshaw. Very Bush league.
Morning JG9!
Yeah the IR rules were very stupid back then. Today's IR rules are million times better than what they were during the 1970s into the 1980s. Who ever thought of the IR rules for the 1970s and 1980s needs to get their heads examined.
That's too bad they hated each other. They're both Legends.
I used to love the Steelers (and I live on the west coast) Hey I have Mike Mercer Kicking shoes !! I used in HS and College....
Don Shula one of the greatest coaches ever .
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about the Steelers-Dolphins rematch in Miami the next year, which the Dolphins won in a blowout. Did Don Shula try to rub it in Buddy Ryan-style on the Steelers in that game?
In a second playoff game against NE the Broncos Tim Tebow faced his old Broncos coach fired earlier but picked up by NE prior to this game. Guess who won?
Your story is too loooooong!
Bradshaw looked amazing in these clips
Could you do a video about the Giants Saints game in 2005?
Oh man, i remember that. Played the game in New York but the Saints were the home team, even changed the logo on the field didn't they? The Saints went through some serious shit that year.
@@leogetz3570 Yeah, the 2005 Saints lived in a stark reality; I don't even consider what they had to be a football season really, but more of a life circumstance. Humph, they win 3 games in an untenable situation, yet there are other teams with nothing going on like that and they win 0-2 games (that wasn't a great Saints team either, nothing at all like the 2008 Patriots without Brady).
So lets be straight........a Professional Sportsman did his job and ensured a healthy win for his team (that really needed it) and the opposing Coach - who was the model of NFL professional conduct - was upset about it? Yeah, right.
On a scale of 1-10...

Awesome stuff!!!! Good for Terry to stick it right back to Shula!!!!
Shula got the best of Pittsburgh especially in 70s and 3 straight superbowls, 17-0
This is no big deal. This guy makes this little Mickey mouse scenario not even big enough to qualify as a footnote and acts like it's Ohio State and Michigan during the Ten Years War. Two HOFers feuding over the acquisition of a 4th string RB? Get real. Nobody cared and neither should you.

Damn, Shula was a genius... With those rules I would have done the same thing. Doesn't matter if the outcome of the game was meaningless, or if he needed the players, Don Shula does what it takes to win.
Yeah no Honor. That's bush that karma paid off lol. Least he got 2 SB's before coming up short the rest of his yrs.
I have nothing wrong with it at all. Gentleman's agreement? LOL this is the NFL, man. He probably did it to pick their brain. And nobody stole anyone. It was done within the rules.
Yeah it was legal, but it was still a dick move by Shula. Funny thing was karma came back to bite Shula for the rest of his coaching career - He never did find a successor to Larry Czonka.
Don Shula was and always will be the greatest coach in NFL history! Even if Bill Belcheat surpasses him in the win column, many of those wins were by cheating such as spying on the opposing team and deflating footballs. New England has been fined numerous times and has even had draft picks taken away from them. And that's only the times they have been caught.
@@stevenpipines7773 That's why every year video game enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the release of the new Shula video game, have you reserved your copy of Shula '23 yet?

LOL lucky QB with 4 super bowls.
@@TheJpep2424: At least you admit it.
Bradshaw was extremely lucky. The Steelers just had a great Defense. That`s why they won 4 Superbowls, not because of TB.
@@jjamesd1 I guess Bradshaw should return the MVP award he got for 1978 as well as disavow his Pro-Bowl selections.
@@joeterzio7175 I agree!
I will never forget how "Saint Shula" rigged the 1982 AFC Championship Game by not covering the field thus negating the Jets team speed. Too bad for the Jets. I think they would have beaten that Redskins team that year. The 1982 Jets were loaded.
Shula was a corrupted trickster he left the tarps off the raining afc championship 1982 jets
It was a WR screen not a pass. No different than a run.
Bradshaw is like an old west gunslinger
Even though Bradshaw won 4 super bowls,most people know Marino was still better( see hof voting),,
@Superlungs double the talent of Bradshaw, that's why Marino got into the hall of fame,on the first ballot,,it took Bradshaw longer,the voters know who's better,
@Superlungs I'm a Marino fan ,but I have Elway a little higher,he could scramble,
@Superlungs then why did Marino go into the hof ,quicker and on a higher %,,do u also think griese was better than Marino? Because he has 2 rings,
@Superlungs anyone that knows football, knows Marino was far superior,,Bradshaw had far better teams( so many hof players- 8,9 ) Marino had one hof player( stephenson,and he only played five yrs)
@Superlungs this shows me how much football u know, Marino got in the first ballot, with over 94%,rivers might not get in for at least 5 more yrs,,if he gets in ,
That hurts over 40 yrs ago uggggghhhhhhh!!!!

I always thought the Dolphins held on to Shula way too long they should have given him the Tom Laundry Treatment and showed him the door sometime after their SB 17 loss to the Skins.
U do know they made the super bowl two yrs later,and made 2 more conference championship games,before Shula retired, ps- have u not seen what's happened to Miami without him?,,haven't won a playoff game in 22 yrs,and haven't made a conference championship game since 1992,,, Shula is still god in Miami,,

I remember Rick Moser but I didn't remember this.

What a waste of time.
1980. the end of the super steelers. just a matter of which ones retire each season now. steelers were old and aging. phins still had a few leftovers from the perfect squad. both had old qb's leading to that strange path both took at the '83 draft. did bradshaw even win a playoff game after this point? i know steelers had a few playoff misses then bolts beat them at home in playoffs (i think that was last bradshaw game) before raiders destroy them in la in playoffs.
Bradshaw played well in the playoff game vs San Diego in 1982. The Stealers had a 28-17 lead in the 4th quarter. The defense blew that. But he himself threw for 325 yards and 2 TD's and also had a rushing TD. The next season he was out the entire year but came back and started week 15 @ NY and threw for 77 yards and 2 scores before his elbow gave out. That was his last game so it wasn't like he fell off like a lot of players do, his body just couldn't do anymore.
@@matthewdaley746 again, this had zero to do with Bradshaw and more to do with Pittsburgh's shortsightedness.

@@matthewdaley746 yes it did.
Gosh you must be old ! lots of details that seem very subjective, and hyperbole. Is this a term paper ??
Shula recommended Chuck Knoll to the Rooneys when they hired Noll, and those two coaches always respected each other.
So while I salute Bradshaw for his leadership here, I'd be more interested in what Noll had to say, which probably was nothing.

Shula is The Goat 🐐
Subsequent evaluation would suggest that one of the truly great NFL QBs of all time, ran on fuel largely composed of misplaced narcissism.
This has nothing to do with football. This was a life learning lesson. To many co incidents
LOL Shula knew nothing about them...BS. I will guarantee you he had scouted those guys before they were ever drafted and then watched them play with the Steelers. And Bradshaw was bush league with that play. There was no feud between them, they played against each other for over a decade and most of it, they were professional. Shula churned that roster from 1980 and went back to the Superbowl in 1982. Claimed players off waivers was a part of that. In 1980, his leading rushers were Delvin Williams and then his QB David Woodley...he desperately wanted his new power running back, Moser wasn't it but he had a shot at it. It turned out to be Andra Franklin the next season.
Duh? You really don't know Bradshaw, back then he wasn't even average at qb, he was carried to those Super Bowls by the defenses and the other's on offense. Swan and Stallworth were always making acrobatic catches cause Terry couldn't throw accurate passes, but he had two great WR's.
WTF does this has to do with Bradshaw? Moser could never start for either team. Bradshaw had no class at that time. Bradshaw exposed himself as bush...
👎
Bradshaw was and is a chump, everyone in his mind should kowtow to the Steelers. Had Noll done that to the Dolphins, Bradshaw would have said nothing. He thinks that his opinion really matters when his own coach thought he was a braying jackass.
