if that's true, he's been elevated to Supa-Doosh!
I've heard the same thing. It is also mentioned on his Wiki page:
"He played football for the University of Notre Dame and was a runner-up for the 1970 Heisman Trophy which went to Jim Plunkett of Stanford University. Late in the season, his hallmates in Zahm Hall hung an enormous banner out of a 4th story window proclaiming, "Theisman for Heisman", (sic) changing the original pronunciation of his surname, "THEEZ-man," to rhyme with "Heisman", which he has used since."
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
I hereby nominate Joe Theisman for King of the Douches!!!
All in favor, say "AYE"
All opposed, break his shin...
Ok, I don't want to cause him any pain. But he is just the worst thing ever as far as color guys go. I hate him so much it hurts. Actually, its been a toss up between him and Lee Corso for years!

So wait...if a broken shin is a "nay" vote, then Lawrence Taylor doesn't think Theismann is a douche?

I remember that, I also remember that for the first few months after that was about the only time the guy ever displayed any humility. Kudos to L.T., he knew the Joe T. was hurt and immediately was signaling for the trainer.

Correct! I know, its crazy, right? Back when he was Joe Theesman he was LT's hookup. They go way back. If it wasn't for that, LT woulda probably stomped on him and walked off the field after the "incident."
