Everybody always asks who was the fastest gunfighter, the best, the longest living, the most interesting, the meanest, the one with the most kills... no one ever asks Who Was The Worst Gunfighter Ever, who suffered the most and who had the most inglorious end ever. This is true in football as well.
Where oh where is Danny Dimes? What a year, driven out of his own territory twice now, he attempts a return this time in a different guise. He'l play in the same building but a visitor. He'll just be DJ. Unassuming you hardly notice me DJ. What is at stake? The heart and souls of entire city that's all... the ability to crush a fan base into smithereens. And YES the ability to get a coach fired. The coach that loses this game is a gonner. Seasons can be terrible but they cannot be terrible and also lose tot he Jets.
The Giants have more pressure on them than the Jets. The Giant coach pat Shurmur has more pressure on him than the Jet coach. The Giant coach's job is in a more perilous position than the Jets coach. That phrase should sink in. Mara has to be absolutely furious now, his rage directed in one direction towards the coach. How can this guy take Saquan Barkley and ruin him? What happened to the whole Green Coat, Hall Of Fame thing? Saquan has a way of running everyone knows that and that way relies upon many carries. He's apt to lose yardage a few times before breaking a big one-- this year he's not breaking any because Yes he's not being used right (the many carries) but is it possible last years offensive line was better? They did open some run holes if you remember.
It's kind of gross the way Shurmur embraces his young quarterback when he does something correctly. Maybe it's me but I see a octopus almost making out with Danny I mean he grabs his head and caresses the back of his helmet and he's got those lips right up in that earhole and he's whispering, whispering: love you man.. you're the only thing keeping me here. Thank you, thank you. People have come back from war and received lighter embraces.
Were it not for this teaching a quarterback how to lose thing... why would anyone keep a coach with his record around? It's not for the coaching it's for the new QB. It's a ridiculous pass card that Mara has handed out and now wishes he could draw back. Well now is his chance. Lose To The Jets, Have Dany Dimes not even show up and continue this misuse of Saquan Barkley... continue with the penalties and the horrible red zone play calling do all of that.. that's OK! Just don't lose to the Jets buddy.
The question is then-not the best outlaw but the worst. Who was the all time worst gun fighter. His name was Elmer McCurdy. Born in 1880 in Washington, Maine, Elmer McCurdy was always unlucky. At age 27 he joined the Army and he learned all about machine guns and how to blow things up with nitroglycerine. After leaving the Army Elmer tried his hand as an outlaw attempting to rob several banks and trains carrying money. Each time an unfortunate set of circumstances arose and bumbling crook Elmer would not be able to pull off the heist. Sometimes the treasure weighed too much, but most times Elmer's clumsy use of bomb materials led to premature explosions and several times melted coins that had been pilfered. In 1911 Elmer made his big mistake. He attempted a train robbery on train that was supposed to have $400,000 in cash. So close. That train was just behind Elmer's train, the one he robbed which had but the passengers pocket change and some bottles of whiskey. For this he was hunted down and shot!
Poor Elmer McCurdy he had it tough from birth and now he lay dead after robbing train with no money on board. At the funeral parlor he remained for a long time and no-one came for him. The mortician on duty used extra strong chemicals and his best tidying up work to preserve the corps because apparently he was going to be living with it for a while. The problem was a who was going to pay for this work? The undertaker decided to get his money back so he did something John Mara is probably thinking about doing to Pat Shurmur-- he propped the dead body up in a corner and charged folks five cents for a peek. It was the first freak show! and it was called “The Bandit Who Wouldn’t Give Up.”
That's our hero. In death Elmer became more popular than in life. One day lost relatives finally showed up and took possession of the corpse. Those relative turned out to be Carnival promoters and before long for Elmer was traveling the country with the Great Patterson Carnival Show under the moniker “The Outlaw Who Would Never Be Captured Alive.”
So you see fame and glory can come from the dead. Back from the dead. Now the worst outlaw of all time was being portrayed as the guy who wouldn't die... kind of like Danny Dimes.
Over approximately the next 60 years, McCurdy’s remains saw several different owners, traveled with different carnivals, appeared in a wax museum, was exhibited as a cautionary “dead dope fiend,” (Probably his low point) and even made an appearance in infamous director David F. Friedman‘s She Freak in 1967.
By 1976, McCurdy’s embalmed corpse had become mummified and had sustained some damage during all of his adventures. Now people thought of it as a mummy prop not a real corpse. Elmer was left hanging as a prop in a Long Beach, California, carnival funhouse called Laff in the Dark. What a ride. No one had ever been treated like this after death. Men women and children saw McCurdy as late as this era hanging in California. No one knew he was real.
On December 8, 1976, the crew of the television show The Six Million Dollar Man was filming at the amusement park, working on an episode called “Carnival of Spies.” Someone on the prop team moved what was thought to be a mannequin, only to have an arm fall off, revealing human tissue and bones.
A coroner and a forensic anthropologist were tasked with examining the remains, and confirmed that they were human, and identified the mummified corpse as Elmer McCurdy’s — Four months after he was found and identified, the Indian Territory Posse of Oklahoma Westerns volunteered to bury the body.
A funeral procession, with a glass-sided carriage hearse pulled by two white horses, took McCurdy 30 miles to the “Boot Hill” section of the Summit View Cemetery in Guthrie, Oklahoma, where he was finally laid to rest, aside other Old West outlaws.
They say you don't die until people stop talking about you. Adam Gates for the Jets and Pat Shurmur for the Giants, one of you after this matchup is going the way of Elmer McCurdy. One of you is going to be propped up dead but which one?~stoney
