What a great thread. You all make a lot of great points about archaic language and I've been busy blasting them out on my cb radio to all of my good buddies with their ears on.
Really funny stuff - especially about the preseason and end-of-season games.
Oh, and "based on his name, I thought Frosty Rucker was a NASCAR driver" is priceless.

Came across this nugget on Youtube and thought I'd share.
Two observations:
1.) Thurman was even better than you probably remember (Andre, too)
2.) About the last name that springs to mind when someone says "Super Bowl Years" is Kirby Jackson. but he had a monster trio of games as seen here.
1991 Bills Highlights
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I should add that I was right along for the ride and I was as non-productive as anyone as I was banging on the F5 key on the Mario thread waiting for the news that he'd signed.
My latest, along with a sincere thanks to Scott for devoting his time and energy to TBD and TSW. It is a great honor to be a part of this online community.
Williams Signing Good News For Bills
Awesome! The only thing you forgot was:
- Lettering on "F5" button worn off on thousands of Bills' fan's computers due to an unknowable number of refreshes of a certain thread on TSW.
(Super) Mario "Freaking" Williams is a Buffalo Bill.
At least for today, we stole every bit of thunder in the NFL and it feels sooooo good!
My love for Buddy Nix grew more than the Grinch's heart today.
Thank you Bills!

Or a variation of this classic with Mauck playing the part of Luca Brasi and Marv as the Godfather.
Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on the contract.
This day (hopefully) will live in infamy on TSW as the day Mario signed AND the day a whole group of computer-challenged guys learned the beauty of the "F5" refresh.
Sales 101 - Once you're in the house (or in this case, they're in yours) don't leave without a signature. Come on Buddy, the immediate future hinges on this move - please GET 'ER DONE!!!!!
Do you ever look at a person and say that he/she looks just like a cartoon character? Here's a couple that I think could have been separated at birth.
Post 'em if you've got 'em.
