I thought I'd seen that he'd recently been to a game. I had no idea about any of this... Just wow...

I’d have to go through signing up. I may later. I read about Gallery’s post-NFL situation and it’s really too bad. He was thrown on to the worst team possible at the time and I feel it wasn’t warranted but someone always had him as one of the biggest draft busts. As I said I don’t feel it was warranted. He played his ass off for years. Always will be one of my favorite Hawks of all time

Reminds me a great deal of Chuck Long.

Both had all the tools, all the confidence, all the pedigree, all the good college coaching.

Both were drafted by loser organizations. Long was doomed when Detroit went to the "run and shoot" offense that was about a 3 year flash in the pan offense.

Both are considered to be "busts" which is both inaccurate and unfair.
Timing, organzations and coaching is everything.
They were both dealt a crappy NFL hand.
