...that I read with some satisfaction.......He always struck me as an arrogant prima donna asshole. I doubt I'll be missing him, personally.

you're CERTAINLY thinking of someone else.

Phillips is survived by his second wife, Debbie, and six children from his first marriage along with almost two dozen grandchildren.

I am not sure how I could get satisfaction out of telling the 2 dozen grandchildren their grandfather is dead. How does one attain that sense of superiority?

I could be wrong, but I think he did. Don't know much about him, though.

is acting like Jebus Christ just died.

I always repected you, I have lost inerest in pro ball,
but not you bum. I prefer the 5-4 Oklahoma to your 4-3.
What dissapoints me is nobody ever heard of the 5-4 Oklahoma.
Rest in peace.

"I never scrimmage Oilers against Oilers...what for? Houston isn't on our schedule."



(To an official) "Now, you can't do that! If you do it, I'm telling you you'll have more hell over it than a little bit."

(after playing the Steelers for the fifth time in two seasons and planning to meet them a sixth time) "The road to the Super Bowl runs through Pittsburgh, sooner or later you've got to go to Pittsburgh

(referring to Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula) "He can take his'n and beat your'n and take your'n and beat his'n."
(referring to Houston Oilers quarterback Warren Moon) "That boy could throw a football through a car wash and not get it wet."

(when asked by Bob Costas why he took his wife on all of the Oilers' road trips) "Because she's too ugly to kiss goodbye."
