There was a moment there where 225 wins looked possible. You know the deal, though. A big injury cost him a year at his peak, and then the last one (at age 33) cost him his career.
Bottom line was that LaLoosh was a key cog in the Yellow Springs win machine. Of course, that also means he was at the center of the Yellow SPrings October Choke Device, too. So there's that for voters to take into account, too. In the end I know how I'll be voting (I mean...three Nebraskas, am I right?), but it's going to be a fun one to see how the league reacts.
