MCH Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I read it in an email a couple of weeks ago. Sounded too good to believe so I googled it and found this: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/k/kurtwarner.htm Not sure which one to believe, but the link above sounds more reasonable.

Steven Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 That's why I didn't watch the game. I heard this story enough 10 years ago and I didn't want to hear John Madden babble about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
