    LOL! .... that was good. I remember that was what he was best known for, well that and that memorable season where we started 10-0 and then O'Brien's "arm went sour", or so they said, and we finished 10-6.

    10-1, O'B had the highest QB rating at that point after 11 games in NFL History....nosepicker told him to take the sack rather than throw an int...

    ...by "nosepicker" I assume you are referring to our genius HC Joe Walton lol!

    omg when I googled Joe Walton and then typed the letter "N", the words "Nose Picker" and "Picking his nose" popped up LMAO!!!!!!! :D
    (sad to report that no such images popped up when I google imaged it, maybe that's a good thing for this board)

    ....wait, wait I found something! OMG this is just too funny!!! I found this in an actual article about our former HC!
    "The "Joe must go" chants would become prevalent at the Meadowlands, and Walton was caught picking his nose on national tv."

    so it was working until that point or are you saying he told him that after 10-1? b/c he got sacked at a much higher rate in 1985.

    he always held onto the ball looking for the big play, had a great year and a half then hurt his shoulder in '86 and was never the same.

    Just in!

    Wow, McFarlane's pieces are getting much better, this is so much more detailed than my Pennington. And a lot bigger too, Joe stands about 8 inches tall.

    This is like a piece of my childhood.

    Ha that's great. I've been eyeballing that thing since this thread started and just pulled the trigger on the last one! Couldn't resist, lol.
    It captures Joe and that image well, and it's iconic. The photos of Joe & Co. in the dusk in Miami, victorious, are unforgettable.
    I remember watching that game when I was 11. I remember listening to the Oakland game at Shea on radio...It wasn't televised locally.
    Had to grab it...maybe a print for the wall is next of a different shot from the field after the gun sounded.

    Thanks for putting that up

    Edit: it said last one. Now it says available with extra wait. Lol. The seller must be like... wtf's with Namath dolls?!
