Who is Mike Shanahan? - Capital Comment Blog (washingtonian.com)

When he was a sophomore at Eastern Illinois University in 1971, Shanahan and a friend were cruising Chicago on Shanahan’s Kawasaki 500 motorcycle when a driver ran a stoplight and plowed into them. Shanahan was thrown 110 feet but escaped with an injured ankle. His friend died.

A few months after the motorcycle crash, Shanahan, a five-foot-nine quarterback, was hit so hard in practice that one of his kidneys ruptured and he was given last rites. After recovering—he lost the kidney—he wanted to play again but was sidelined for the rest of college, a turn of events that sparked his coaching career.

Funny how life always seems to have a plan for you.

I always thought he looked like a slim, white version of Uncle Ruckus........no relation.

New candidate for the worst WP thread ever.

Here's a new rumor...I heard Cooley has Neuticles.

I survived a motorcycle accident. The only thing it affected was the part of my brain that deals with spelling.

Glass eye? probably a result from multiple skullf*ckings he endured while in Denver

I'm not sure if this thread is an epic fail or a Warpath classic.

Both I think...

My boss has a glass one. Just because it doesnt look like fake doesnt mean it isnt. When i first started working there i had no idea, about a month or 2 later i thought he has a occasional wondering or lazy eye. About 6 months or so into my job someone told me that he has a glass eye. It took about another year to really be able to identify which one was which without thinking about it and making sure when i talk to him i look at him in the right one.

His glass eye is extremely good and to me it would otherwise be impossible to tell, notwithstanding the fact that it moves slightly different sometimes when he is is looking into his peripheral, and the fact that occasional he get all sort of shit on just one lens of his glasses since he cant see through it anyways.

Also ive worked there for almost 4 years, and a guy that has worked there for like 10 years just found out about 2 years ago, so its not just me. Something else to consider is that my boss has never once mentioned it. I tell him when he gets crap on his one of his lenses on his glasses, and i get the impression he knows i know, but he has never talked about it. He lost his eye in a car accident when he was 2, which makes me think if he lost it later in life he would have more muscle control and less "lazy eye" type issues.

So i guess i feel like its possible that shanahan may have one....

Man, if he ends up in white heaven with Ronald Reagan, I'm gonna be pissed. I wonder who's in black heaven.

I heard a rumor that Mike Shanahan is actually a sophisticated robot sent from the future to solidify the Redskins roster for the future so that we'll be better equipped for the NFL robot invasion, in which robots replace NFL players and all personnel and fight for NFL dominance. There will also be a supposed "Human Rule" which states that at least one human candidate must be interviewed for a head coaching position so that we get a fair shake at it. This supposed "Mike Shanabot" will be a defector from the robot side as he grew emotions and compassion for the NFL personnel through their extinction at the hands of the other, more sophisticated robots, and he came back in time (because such travel is possible in the future) to help save the NFL personnel all the way from the GM's to the ballboys so that the game will remain the same as it is now, in the future.
