Glanville had people in his building who could've given him sound advice on what Valley of the Sun hotel to choose and he uses what comes with his choice as an excuse for that dinosaur egg his team laid at Arizona State's place?! Wow.
First World Problems. This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about another Falcons Coach, Norm van Brocklin, threatening to fight reporters after a loss in 1974.
With regards to Brett Favre, Favre himself understood why the Falcons traded him and owned up to his issues when he was on the Falcons--it was under Holmgren's tutelage that he turned into a good QB, and it also helped that the trade was a wakeup call for Brett to clean up his act, too. Plus, Glanville, IIRC, didn't want Brett Favre with the draft pick--that couldn't have helped... Glanville can be blamed for a LOT of stupid stuff, but trading Favre isn't one of them--it's more of a "it looked like a good idea at the time" trade...
I agree. I think Favre had the trade coming and Glanville didn’t have the tools on his staff to make him what he became later. It’s like blaming the Michigan coach for not playing Tom Brady 100% of the time.
As long as you're talking about Glanville and his lunacy, there is a particular game I'd like to see immortalized (notes below are from memory so details may have drifted over time). October 18, 1992. The Falcons come to Candlestick Park to face the 49ers. The 49ers are coming off their worst year in a decade, and are rebuilding. The Falcons beat every team in California in 1991, and a trophy maker in Atlanta gifted Glanville with a garish, 5 foot tall, "Champions of California" trophy, which he brought along, and, I kid you not, parked it on the Falcons sideline. This did not set well with the 49ers. The team found out about the trophy while they were still in the locker room before the game, and came out to play angry. They proceeded to take their bad mood out on the Falcons to the tune of 56-17. From what I remember, the trophy was abandoned on the sideline after the game. In all my years watching NFL games, that's the most NOT IN MY HOUSE game I can ever remember.
1:50, there’s still a weird divisional alignment in today’s NFL. The Dallas Cowboys are in The NFC East, but they probably have to travel fewer miles every time they play a road game against a NFC South team
Blame it on baseball, Divisional Realignment sent the, Reds, and, Braves, to the, NL West, while, keeping the, Cubs, and, Cardinals, in the, NL East, baseball wanted traditional rivalries to remain, dumb.
I need to call you out on this one because to narrow dumb stuff that Glanville to one is an exercise in futility. Remember, this is the same guy who didn't think Brett Favre was a good QB.
@Matt Pizzano Hell, Favre himself stated that being traded to the Packers was the best thing that happened to him and has admitted to his issues with the Falcons (and understood why they traded him). The Falcons trading Brett Favre only looks bad in hindsight--NOBODY knew what Favre would turn into under Mike Holmgren's coaching...
Or, how, the Packers lucked out, and, faced, the Steelers, in, the, SB, and, not, the Ravens, I get the feeling they'd have, beaten, Aaron Rodgers up, and, that would have made the difference.
Glanville used to leave tickets for celebrities when the Oilers were on the road. Once when the Oilers played at Seattle, he left tickets for D. B. Cooper. The FBI actually staked out the will call window before the game.
I can’t be 100% certain on this but I’m pretty confident that the home team organizes the lodging arrangements for the visiting team. I know the Packers opponents always stay at a designated hotel in Appleton (which is about 25 miles or about a half hour drive south is Green Bay). Having said that, it’s still a lame excuse.
And no one did excuses better than Jeff Fisher. My all-time favorite is his explaining how a fake punt got snuffed out because the crowd roared and it tipped off the defense.
@@teen_laqueefa To be fair, he convinced Nick Foles to leave the Rams, he, and, later, the Rams, would, both, serve the country in ways that can, never, properly be repaid, ever.

You should do a segment on Glanville vs. Noll, circa 1987. The Oilers were coaching their players to cheap-shot opponents, and they were going after kickers too. Noll told the league office they'd better put a stop to it or he'd settle the score with Glanville personally.
@@matthewdaley746 Lambert, Blount, and the entire Steel Curtain defense were not dirty players and cheap shot artists like Atkinson and most of the Raiders were. The Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s would kick your a$$ legitimately and gracefully. The Raiders of that era, not unlike Glanville's Oiler teams of the late 80s, had to kill opposing players and try to win through intimidation.

"We didn't have any short routes. We didn't have any west coast long handoff. I'd rather take a stick in the eye than watch Bill Walsh's offense." - Jerry Glanville
This is funny to me since I work at a high-end hotel resort (surrounded by down-to-earth workers,and mostly fun guests), but really, the 1991 Falcons were as unsound a 10-6 team could be. They were inexplicably good, considering that they didn't run the ball much, couldn't stop the run, turned the ball over too much (when Miller threw 4 picks in both Kansas City & Washington, how 'bout those hotels?), didn't have a strong pass rush, and could get burned on pass defense. On the plus side, their special teams were top notch, their defense made big plays, they could run the ball well when they actually ran, and the Falcons passing game had Andre Rison + Michael Haynes, so when Miller got hot great things happened with that. A true Wild Card team.
@@theknightswhosay Yeah, part of their charm was making intangible plays that opponents couldn't factor for since not even the Falcons knew when it would happen.
@@theknightswhosay No doubt, and factor in that the Falcons D & Special Teams made big plays WITHOUT laterals, that made the laterals more of a presence, especially during the team's late-season run.
Cool vid, but 9:17 needs a correction. The Pointe at South Mountain is still around, but it's since been renamed Arizona Grand Resort. You can still make bookings for it today. I know the hotel pretty well since I spent my 16th birthday there almost 12 years ago.
Block Letter G in front of the end zone. Home plate inside the end zone at Fulton County Stadium. 2:29. And Block Letter G also in front of end zone at Sun Devil Stadium. 6:17.
The 91 Falcons beating a good team only to lose to a bad team. This described the Oilers to a tee in 88 and 89 under Glanville. These were some very talented teams. One week, they would play like the Super Bowl favorites. Other weeks, a letdown. Glanville held them back and we were glad to get rid of them. Unfortunately Jack Pardee was no Bill Belichick. If the Oilers had had a good coach during the Warren Moon era, I, think they would have gone further in the playoffs.
Possibly, but, they, were, another, flashy team, with, no defense, and, no running game to bleed the clock late, combine that, with, Warren Moon's failures as a person, and, it's, Karmically, satisfying, they, never, reached, the, SB, simple as that.
