There is more irony here than people realize. Jon was voted "dirtiest player in the NFL" in the late 90s. Google it..
I couldn't remember which was the dirtbag, Runyan or Jansen. Maybe the NFL couldn't remember, either.
Perhaps Tie Domi will take Shanahan's old position with NHL.
I like the way you're thinking here, but it seems that Claude Lemieux or Todd Bertuzzi would be even better choices. I'd go with Claude Lemieux here because Bertuzzi is mostly known for one awful incident, where Claude Lemieux was a twat his entire career.
Mario Lemieux should, under U.S. and Canadian law, be allowed to force Claude Lemieux to change his surname.
McCarty is one of my all time favorite players solely for the ass whippin' he put on Claude Lemieux. I think I'm gonna go watch it on you tube now.
Did you just call Jon Runyan a dirtbag?
I was thinking the same thing--seems a little harsh.

Goodell probably made him sign some agreement to keep Brady locked up... I kinda feel bad for him. Yeah, he had to apply for it, and agree to it. But that is a no-win job. Good luck, Jon!
Maybe his goal is to ultimately become the NFL commissioner someday. It would be nice to have a commissioner with some brains.
He was a US Congressman (R) for New Jersey's 3rd District (the fightin' third!) for four years. Would appear he already lived out those higher aspirations and is now stacking cheddar.
I was referring to Jon standing behind the "Vice President of the United States" seal. There can be higher aspirations than Congress.
oh. i see. this is what i get for knowing factoids.
....and whether he prefers money or sex???
The initial phrasing was not clear, but at the end it said:
If you choose money you can not be with a woman, if you choose women you are jobless and broke. Which option do you choose?
Plus, it would not make real sense to choose from either a) having money vs. b) having no sex.

How many All Americans do most teams have in 10 years? We've had 3 - Long, Molk and Lewan. A handful more, Omameh, Schofield, Glasgow, etc are on NFL rosters. We haven't exactly been a factory, but it's not like we've been without any good OL.
Runyan got tired of other Congressmen asking for autographs...
Yes. At least he was respected though...kinda like Conrad Dobler was back in the day.

I taught Jon English at Carman-Ainsworth High School his senior year when I was doing my student-teacher rotation. He was already 6' 9" and just a beast. But he was also the nicest kid you'd ever meet. Very respectful and a better-than-average student. I'm glad to see him do well, and this looks like a great move for him.
I graduated from Carman in '92 as well. What teacher were you working with?
And you're right, Jon was a down to earth, nice guy.

but it was Jean Hagstrom (sp?)
She taught 10th and 11th English and ran the yearbook program as well. I was there in 91 and also worked with the Marching band as a drill instructor for that semester.
Ok, I never had her but I remember her. If I remember correctly her husband taught Chemistry there. I had Digiacomo, I'm sure I butchered the spelling.
I seem to remember her husband worked there, but I never met him. After the first week, I completly took over all of the English courses (she still did the yearbook since I wasn't there for the full year), and I was buried, so I barely left the classroom save to use the rest room *lol*
I remember the name, but that's about it. I grew up in Swartz Creek, so I knew the area pretty well, but I didn't get to know a lot of the teachers since I was working a part time job some nights and on weekends while doing the student teaching thing. I was a busy boy.
I graduated from High School with Jon so I liked to keep tabs on him in college and in the pros. The first pro game I caught they were still the oilers in Houston the year before the move. He got ejected for punching Jerry Ball in the nuts.
Haha--I almost posted about this game. I knew Jon in college, so I was interested in watching his games on TV when possible. That game was over the holidays, and I happened to be home visiting my parents, which gave them a chance to watch him for the first time as well. The offensive linemen typically don't get a lot of attention during the game, but he definitely stood out when he punched Jerry Ball and got ejected. I guess we chose a good game to watch!
Haha, for sure!
of his son Jr. Anyone hear how he's progressing? Any chance he can help the line in 2017?
didn't he resign from congress due to breaking various rules? now he is in a position of enforcing rules.
