I think Moon was a hall of fame QB. He's the best black QB I've ever seen and he was a great QB! Testaverde - never! Fouts and Namath I view as hall of fame QB's or legends. Bledsoe is in the same category as Testaverde

Ok....you know I'm out throwing the football with my son and the neighbor kids almost daily. Well, about 10 years ago I was all beered up and went to a pitching both to calculate my speed. I didn't warm up, there was no mound and I had no cleats. I wound up and threw as hard as I could (77 mph) and I felt something go. It didn't hurt too bad because I was 12 pack charlie. But now when I go out and toss the ball every now and then I'll throw it hard and I feel my shoulder almost slip and it hurts right to my finger tips - bad! I have to take a vicodin when that happens. I think I have a tear in my rotator cuff (yes thats cuff - not cup people LOL). It happened yesterday and my arm hurt for hours.

I have to say though.....without a mound, cleats and just throwing from pavement in tennis shoes - 77 MPH was not a bad speed at all. Bet a mound and cleats would have pushed that number up.
