  • Where Did All the Veterans Go?
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 6 (1996) WHERE DID ALL THE VETERANS GO? by Steve Somma Without question, the past few years in the NFL have seen the dawning of a new era, as free agency, expansion, and the addition of Fox and TNT to the list of NFL television outlets have led to significant changes in the game and the way it presents itself. One complaint being heard with more frequency is that player loyalty is dead, that free agency has given birth to a mercenary mentality among the players. In the past few months, no less than eight commentators in the media have either written columns about or sounded off on national television about the shrinking number of players who are spending long careers in one place, usually within a screed complaining about the effect enhanced player movement is having on the league. While player movement is certainly more visible these days, it has been a constant at any period of change in NFL history that many people have been saying what is being said now -- player loyalty is declining, the league is losing its identity, etc. With that in mind, I wondered whether the hue and cry today was justified, or whether it was typical of the exaggeration that often accompanies the railings of traditionalists during any turbulent era. It is, and it isn't. The number of players that have been in the league for ten or more years and have played for only one team -- "ten-and-tens" -- has shrunk by two-thirds since the free agency era began in 1993.

    1 Copyright August 18, 2019. All rights reserved. Geist Christian Church Title: Keep the Faith! Preaching: Ryan Hazen, Senior Associated Minister Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-12 Text: Hebrews 11:29-12:2 E-mail: Ryan Hazen First, a question. What do these people have in common? Robert Irsay, Bill Brooks, Ted Marchibroda, Chris Hinton, Jim Harbaugh, Tony Dungy, Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James, Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk, Jeff Saturday, Bill Polian, Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Dwight Freeny and all Colts fans have in common? If you said that they are all a part of the Indianapolis Colts Ring of Honor, you would be correct. The Ring of Honor is an actual ring around the inside of the stadium with these names. It was started with one name in 1996 in the RCA Dome, has been added to over the years, and moved with the team to Lucas Oil Stadium.1 Even if you are not a football fan or Colts fan, you likely know most of those names. Without these names, the Indianapolis Colts would be a lesser organization. Another question. What do Debra Rusk, IMPD K-9 Officer Perry, and Pershing McAlister have in common? If you said that they are three of the many honorees of the Indiana State Fair this year, you would be correct. The Fair this year has the theme of “Heroes in the Heartland.” While Rusk, McAlister and dog Perry, named after IMPD officer Perry Renn who was killed in the line of duty in 2015, may not be household names like the Colts Ring of Honor, they are just as important in their respective fields.

  • Leadership Is a Choice
    The 1983 NFL draft is referred to as “the year of the quarterback” and is considered one of the strongest drafts in NFL history. The Denver Broncos had thirteen rookies make their team that year including me and their choice at quarterback Gary Kubiak. Gary was a ninth round pick out of Texas A&M but the Broncos expected him to challenge Mark Herman for the backup role and eventually replace Steve Deberg as the starter. Gary had been a three sport high school star in Texas and had put together an outstanding football career as an Aggie. Athletic and smart Kubiak was going to be the Bronco’s future quarterback. Kubiak came to Denver in June with the rest of us rookies to work out at the team facility, get to know his future teammates, and prepare for training camp. In July the Bronco’s brought rookies and a few nonstarter veterans to rookie camp. This was the week before the veterans joined them in Greeley and reported to training camp. Gary was a star at rookie camp with his accurate passes and his quick mastery of Dan Reeves offensive system. Then to Gary’s’ surprise the Bronco’s pulled off one of the NFLs biggest steals in history. They traded quarterback Mark Herrman and their 1983 first round pick Chris Hinton to the Baltimore Colts for the first pick of the 1983 draft, future Hall of Famer John Elway. To Gary’s credit he competed with John instead of pouting. When it became clear that John would be the Bronco’s franchise quarterback Gary realized that he could still be a leader on our team.
