Steve Young started out in the USFL league before it went under. He was not in the draft from college to the NFL. 

Yeah and that wasn't the NFL's fault, he signed the deal with USFL before the NFL held its draft for his class.

 

It doesn't matter anyway, a 6th round pick making 7 superbowl appearances and winning 5 of them is still more impressive.

But not only did you dismiss the point of @Strandly's post, it's not even right, in spirit or letter.  He was one of the two or three best players coming out of college so were it not for the USFL he would have been drafted very high up in the first round had he not chosen that route.  Secondly, when the NFL had a supplemental draft to attract USFL players, he was chosen first overall.

And as @boogielicious mentioned ... he didn't "win" three Super Bowls.  He won one, and he held a clipboard for Joe Montana for two others.

He was a terrific QB though!

Come on now.  This isn't even remotely accurate.

I have to admit you are sharp!

A special supplemental draft was held in 1984 and SY was drafted first overall by the Bucks.

He was on the team, so he got a ring.

Just admit that your point was torn apart and let's move on :)

Why not? If he didn't win then he should give it back right?

As are Montana's "silicone spray on the O-line jerseys" admission and Jerry "Stick-um" Rice admission, and the 70s Steelers Steroids admission (they were my fav team BTW).

That wasn't illegal in the 70s. Nothing ever happened, let alone players being suspended, the organization fined, etc.

I've always said that since Jimmy Garoppolo has 2 Super Bowls he's better than Dan Marino. ;-)

The patriots kicker cost me $175 bucks when he missed that damned extra point. They shouldn't have won just because of that. 

I am the unluckiest football square player ever. I have never won any money. If I have the right numbers, with one second left, something will happen and the score will change!

I won $300 in squares and then some crazy Steelers fan decided he hated the Patriots more than the Ravens and gave me $300 cash to burn my Brady Jersey (which I bought back in 2004).  So I ended up with $600 cash. So it was a good night.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
