  1. We guys are lucky you dont live in Warsaw. At the Warsaw Sportspalast no matter where you sit you're behind a Pole.
  2. Soon they'll be renaming it HOA -- Hall of Adequate
  3. I agree heartily and applaud this decision. The announcers said that Josh had taken 683 hits in his career. Can that be correct? In a 4 years career that's 171 hits per year or about 10 a game.
  4. Cover 1's film analysis is excellent. The RB here executes what is known as a "look-out" block, as in yelling to the QB "look out!!"
  5. "Brownies" is an old term referring to elf-like creatures who lived in tree trunks. When I was a boy my mother game me a book on Brownies. It was full of illustrations of these elves in elaborate tree trunk houses. It's adoption as a mascot by the then Browns owner followed. The Browns, BTW, were named after their original coach HOFer Paul Brown.
  6. The Rams got some good licks on Josh. I'll bet he's feeling it today. Over the season those hits add up and can shorten a player's career. I hope the reason for running Josh so much was to give opponent's defensive coordinators nightmares. Hopefully we dial Josh's running back ober the season.
  7. Lat night Von was wearing a black triangle on the back of his head. What's up with that?
  8. Three crucial mistakes make this game close so far: Davis' non-catch leading to an interception; Cook's fumble looks to have been self-caused; Bass' KO out of bounds.
  9. I think the hot weather will be a significant factor as the game progresses. No clue as to whether the weather will favor the Bills or Rams. Thoughts?
  10. The firm I worked for at the time represented the Braves. I got to work on a few player's contracts. I remember one rookie was making $20,000 a year, much more than I made in the early 1970's
  11. My Little League team and I played another LL team at halftime in the old Rock Pile more than 60 years ago. It was heaven to hear my name announced ove the PA system for a tackle. I guess that makes me an OLD COOT.
  12. If your starting QB punts does he risk a hammy pull that takes him out of the game?
  13. Can we merge this thread with an Edmunds thread.
  14. Another thread says that the Bills have released Araiza. End of discussion. Onto the regular season.
  15. Note: You are quite right. This is intended as a joke not a flame.
  16. Blue cheese (stilton) sucks. Like Red Foxxx its too salty. Blue cheer, on the other hand, rocks; so does Blue Oyster Cult and Blues Boy King
  17. Didn't like the sound of the Feds after some of "our guys" (Bills palyers?) on a RICO beef. What's up with that?
  18. Jack jump over the candlestick
  19. No. It was Fergy who was colorblind resulting in the switch to red helmets. The Bills wore red helmets for years before Kelly joined the team.
  20. "Hey, you're gonna hafta pay for breaking that!"
