ArmyBengal Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 And besides the D-Line (WHO FREAKIN DESERVE IT) we still find something to b*tch about. I for one say good job to the players, the coaching staff (Marvin is the best), and the one I would have rather seen hit by a bus two years ago... Mike Brown. Great year that ended to soon and on the wrong note. Congratulations to all involved, here's to a great 2006 season !!! WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
