I am honored by the presence of the one called " Buster" in this thread. You have bought me lots of laughs through out the past couple years, here and at Dirty`s wallow..Thanks for the laughs!..Your work is under appreciated!
Yeah Woodley took to his grave the fact that he- Replaced Bob Griese and Terry Bradshaw...Another claim to fame is that his successor was a kid out of Pitt..The "I cant win a big game for the life of me"-Dan Marino...Not bad company..This is Howard Cosell
I agree Gravy trainster-that it will be bad luck for those who have not spoken straight..Gotta give ya credit though, he does look alot like Dan in that shot.But its Woodley man..Gonna lay some SEC wood ta ya tonight homie.
Bet yea wit yea head not yee heart. and thoust will be a happy child come the midnight hour
Bet yea wit yea head not yee heart. and thoust will be a happy child come the midnight hour

Not Super For Everyone
He was the youngest quarterback to start in a Super Bowl, and the youngest to die.
Sun-Sentinel columnist Dave Hyde writes today about the troubled life of former Dolphins quarterback David Woodley, who led the team to Super Bowl XVII at the end of the 1982 season. He was never comfortable with the attention that came with being in professional sports, or the pressure to win the big game.

Sun-Sentinel columnist Dave Hyde writes today about the troubled life of former Dolphins quarterback David Woodley, who led the team to Super Bowl XVII at the end of the 1982 season. He was never comfortable with the attention that came with being in professional sports, or the pressure to win the big game.
"Some players are hard-core," [Woodley's ex-wife, Suzonne] Pugh said. "Some are big teddy bears. Some just don't know how to deal with what comes with the life. David was like that. That's what people should know -- he was a normal person, a good person, who couldn't handle the pro football life."
During his Super Bowl Week, he said a job with a paving company during a players strike was in some ways preferable to being an NFL quarterback.
"A lot less pressure and a lot less attention," he said.
David Woodley was just 44 when he died last year. For most people sports are a release from the pressures of everyday life; for some it is the other way around.During his Super Bowl Week, he said a job with a paving company during a players strike was in some ways preferable to being an NFL quarterback.
"A lot less pressure and a lot less attention," he said.
Wood-Strock !
Wow - I missed the news that Woodley had passed !
Anybody remember the days when Woodley and Don Strock were both playing QB at the same time for the Fins........
As a former long time season ticket holder for the Dolphins,
They could have used some of "Wood-Strock" last season !
"RIP David" and thanks for the memories........
.......even though we did spend a lot of time checking out the cheerleaders with our binoculars !!
