It was your pathetic play that ripped the heart out of the team in 1996 and cost Wayne his job (this despite being the only successful coach in the 50 years that Ford has owned the team). I'll never forget how you just laid down on the turf in the Metrodome in the second game of the 95 season against the Vikes because the pressure was too much for you, or how you faked an injury in the playoffs against the Bucs so that you wouldn't have to face Sapp and their hard-hitting defense the rest of the way. The only decent season you had in your mediocre career was thanks to Barry Sanders and Wayne Fontes. You've always been too thickheaded to recognize this, instead continuing to laud Bobby Ross, a guy who obviously saw what he was dealing with after your Buccaneer playoff game fiasco and got rid of you as soon as he could the following season. Of course, Ross himself took a page out your play book not long after that, quitting on the team in the middle of the following season. But hey, you know what they say about birds of a feather...
