Bob Griese, I hope you read this...



Bob, when I was a kid, you were my idol. You still have more Super Bowl rings than me and Marino combined. But today you made me sick...

Why did you feel a need to apologize for a harmless off-handed joke? You used to be a man, THE MAN, what happened?

Maybe if you had not raised your son to be a pussy like that, he would have become as great of a quarterback as you.

Thanks for the memories Bob, I will cherish them always, but there is a little tarnish on your shine tonight. I'm sure Csonka feels the same way.

People are so full of shit...

Here is basically what he did…They asked where some Latin racecar driver was…cuz he wasnt in the standings image they put up.

Bob said…Har har….getting a taco somewhere.

If you can honestly say you have never said something like that….or worse…then your a better person than i am.

get over it…..Im 100% sure youve said worse

By the way....

I find it hard to believe Bob Griese was your idol growing up….and todays Taco joke made you hate him.

Some would saying calling another mans son a “Pussy” is a lil worse than a Taco joke about a Columbian guy that makes no sense.

Yea..

A taco joke today is as common as a handshake when Bob was playing. Stop trying to create drama, because Bob is still the man, and we all know that it is pretty darn hard to live up to your fathers image… just ask Jerry Rice’s, Joe Montana’s, and Dan Marino’s kid. They will never live up to the legendary status of their fathers.

Speaking of Dan Marino's kid...

Marino’s son lives here in Winston-Salem because his son goes to the North Carolina School of the Arts(or did until recently). The kid lived upstairs from this bar/restaurant downtown and the place was brand new and didn’t have a tv yet.
It was of those sole proprietorships and kind of operating on a shoestring budget. So Dan sits at the bar to have a drink while he’s waiting for his son and asks the bartender “Hey, where’s your tv?”
The bartender replies “Um, we don’t have one yet, sir.”
And Marino says “Oh, okay. Cool. No sweat.”
The next day two hi-def 32" tvs arrive out of the blue courtesy of Dan the Man.
Pretty cool, huh.

Read it again...

I don’t hate Bob. He just lost a little of my respect today.

It is not because of his “taco” joke; it’s because of his need to apologize.. Twice.

That is what pussies do. Not what fierce competitors do. Maybe my comment on how he raised Brian was unwarranted, but I stand by it.

I am a fierce competitor and expect nothing less from my Dolphins.

Hes like 65

lol….hes not a “fierce competitor” anymore….hes not in a UFC fight dude.

its a harmless joke….he said sorry….hes still a badass.

No..

that is not what pussies do. Pussies back down from fights.. pussies are afraid to step up in the clutch.. pussies are afraid to get hit…. pussies are afraid to lead their teams to victory.

Bob is none of those things. So he is definitely not a pussy.. if anything.. like RZayo said.. the guy calling someone who wants to keep his job because he does not have any benefits from playing a violent sport for most of his life is the…… lol

Yea…ESPN tells you just say sorry…..and you say NO.

It was a TACO JOKE….its not like he used the N word or said he was mowing the lawn…which wouldbe been funnier.

haha.. yeah your right...

but he also played back in the day where they did not get paid nearly as much as they do now. They also had even less benefits. We are always hearing about how the retired players are getting ripped off by the NFL, so how do you expect him to act when he likes the job he has.. i respect him for wanting to keep his job, and being one of the Dolphins greats.. but i guess at the same time you have to stand by what you say as well.

How do we know it was in fact a taco?

It could have been a burrito, maybe an enchilada or some nachos?

Who is Bob and what is the joke about eating a taco?

Joking about Bob, but about the taco. WTF is the politically incorrect about eating a Taco? Hell, i did eat tacos tonight cause there was a Mexican party at my house. My wife, she is mexican living in Puerto Rico, made a party with her coworkers at our house, mexican style! Im wrong about eating tacos made by my wife? Just dont get how stupid thing can go! I will tell my wife latter today that i eat Alcapurrias, so she doesnt get offended.

I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(22 years and counting)
