Not just your humble opinion, I'm quite certain I saw Marty Schottenheimer say this, Offense, Defense, and special teams, the team that wins two of the three usually wins the game;
On national TV at least once if not more than once.

A Kelly's Heroes reference! That was a cool movie!

Donald Sutherland. That movie had a great cast...

It did, I've been a fan of that movie since 2nd or 3rd grade, and that's the 70's for me.

Both he AND Keifer are good at playing ruthless bastards.

Edit: I dunno if his character was a bad guy in the movie you guys referenced, but he can still be a p... on screen

Kelley's Heroes was a great movie. Great cast and based on a true story IIRC. The song by the Mike Curb Congregation was cool too.

He's in a new series called Trust on FX. He plays J. Paul Getty and is excellent in it. The character he plays is ruthless.

Spoiler alert: when they walk up to the tank and get the guy to change the side he's on, that's the best part.

The trade got called off.

And hes been cut ...

Randall Telfer - TE - Free Agent

Browns waived TE Randall Telfer.
Cleveland traded Telfer to Kansas City for LB Dadi Nicolas, but the move never went through. Now that he's been cut, Telfer figures to resurface with the Chiefs.

This is sad of a few different sides. Cleveland tried to help out Telfer, and the Chiefs tried to help out Daddy. This was a move that was good for both players, as well as for both teams.

I was wondering if someone didn't pass a physical and that negated the trade.

Dadi was a rolling stone, I guess.

hmm, thats weird

All is lost!!!

Wasn't it poppa?

So Dadi is still a Chief? Available or not?

We seem to have a quorum in camp. How many more are needed/wanted?

Yes, but since his name is not Nicholas Poppa, I wung it. (winged it?)

gc. One of the top 3 positives, (certainly Offensively) would have been all 3 tight ends are coming back!

I can't believe they let go Telfer! (not smart!) Woke up this morning, 45 minutes on why Telfer leaving to another team stinks.

He's 25 he's athletic, he's the most experienced, he's the one the coaches didn't utilize the right way, he's the best blocker.

Fells is 32, Fells has better numbers receptions wise,
I don't know if he's a real player or an also ran, but my hunch is also ran.

I liked Telfer - but if we think our number 3 TE is going to have a significant impact on our season, we're probably headed for a much crappier season than I was anticipating!

I lost any faith I had in Telfer when he completely gave up on a block and his guy tackled Crowell in the backfield. Crow was mad as hell at him.

Telfer had his man blocked well, out of the play and Crow was about to get it around the edge. Then, for no good reason I could tell Telfer just gave up on his block. He stopped and dropped his arms as though he though Crow already made it around the edge and was running downfield. But as I witnessed his guy made the tackle for the loss.

Cleveland’s former tight end has bounced between the Browns’ Chiefs, and Colts’ rosters the past few days, ultimately staying on none of them.

After being honored last year as the team’s 2017 Walter Payton Man of the Year, Randall Telfer can’t seem to catch a break.

Right before this year’s draft, word leaked out that the Cleveland Browns were looking to find someone to trade Telfer to. A few days ago, the team announced that they traded Telfer to the Kansas City Chiefs for DE Dadi Nicolas. But then, the trade was mysteriously called off, and both players reverted to their original teams.

That didn’t last long for either player — the Chiefs waived Nicolas and the Browns waived Telfer upon their return to the teams. Telfer had good news when the Indianapolis Colts claimed him off waivers. This evening, though, the Colts waived Telfer due to a failed physical.

Wow, sounds like a career-ender.

yeah, that sounds pretty difficult for him

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we cut him when he was injured, if he is not claimed, or is found to be injured, he reverts to our IR list.

Is failing a physical the same as an injury?

I believe so yes

It has to be related to football. Maybe he has developed a heart murmur, or a spot was discovered on his kidney.


I hope none of that happened, but it does have to be a football related injury.
