30 for 30 Short: The Herschel Walker Trade
Everyone knows the outcome, but the backstory is great, too:
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:11619469 After his rookie year, Johnson considering trading Irvin just to acquire draft picks, he felt the team was so bad. |

I cannot believe the Vikings GM would be so stupid as to include/overlook language in the trade that would turn those five cut players into first or second round draft picks. That's almost as bad as the owners of the ABA teams that became the NBA giving the owners of the St. Louis Spirits 1/8 of their TV revenue in perpetuity.
When you look at what they ended up spinning all of those picks into, you understand why Belichick tries to maneuver in the draft the way he does; however, he is so completely inept at evaluating personnel that he constantly fills the roster with shitbags.

it was a staged trade. No human could come up with this.
the Coach said the idea came to him while jogging. Its simply nothing more than a lie Last edited by Crying Ramtard; 10-10-2014 at 10:18 PM.. |

I know times have changed, but Draft picks weren't valued any less back then, were they? I would assume they would have been more valued. And the media. They couldn't have known about the picks, or else they would have immediately been saying that the Vikes were fleeced. I have to assume with how much the media has progressed, that the trade would have been reported entirely differently had it happened today. Very interesting story all around. They should have done a full E:60 on it. I'd like to know the whole story on it, behind the scenes and everything. |

Another big one a few years earlier was the Eric Dickerson trade. Unreal how much teams gave up for RBs in that era.
Follow this: Indianapolis traded the rights to rookie linebacker Cornelius Bennett, a No. 1 draft choice out of Alabama whom it had not been able to sign, to Buffalo for running back Greg Bell and the Bills' first-round draft picks in 1988 and '89 and their second-round pick in '89. The Colts then sent all they'd received from Buffalo, along with their own first-round draft pick in '88, their second-round choices in '88 and '89 and running back Owen Gill, to the Los Angeles Rams, who in turn packed Dickerson off to Indianapolis. ... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-...erson-to-colts

C'mon, syphilis has clearly already eaten most of his grey matter.
If he continues to remember to breathe, he might just take your advice, and that's just plain mean.

its not my fault you believe anything your told. Theres no way in hell he came up with that idea even as a starting point. Its a lie plain and simple.
the NFL created the entire thing. This all happened to reward a new owner for buying a team and keep the cash cow of the mighty Star logo alive for the drooling football fans. |
