  1. Please for the good that is all holy, no. I'm old enough to remember these games, the later ones played in Miami. Lombardi called them the "Losers Bowl," or the "S*it Bowl."
  2. I watch these guys because they're in my age bracket and complain about the same things I do. Wilbon mixes in Chicago sports in almost every segment, it's not that annoying, but his statement regarding his rooting interest in the game was odd to me as well. I said to my wife before the show, that they were going to talk about how the Ravens lost and not why the Bills won. I was pleasantly surprised that they gave the Bills pretty much equal time.
  3. I still say, that if that team had home field advantage, they would have went to the Super Bowl. Recall, there were five teams at 11-5 in the AFC and through some wacky tiebreaker scenario, we had to play AT San Diego, even though Bills beat them earlier in the season. We know what happened there.
  4. Grover Cleveland, former Erie County sheriff
  5. These ads are on par with the NFL Shop commercials...those are like teeth down a blackboard.
  6. Happy 80th birthday Rod Stewart...this is classic.
  7. Bravo. Magellan would be proud of this route.
  8. All things considered Mrs. Lincoln, how were the seats?
  9. I dunno...beating a team three times in a season (Fish) is tough. If the Bengals come here, take the over and pray. To me, Denver is the preferred matchup.
  10. I recall Curt Gowdy announcing Clemente's death the next day, during the Rose Bowl. Tragic.
  11. Recall the Ravens got the ball back and came up just short on a fourth down play...I saw one of the refs pointing the other way, indicating it was Cincy ball...it was at THAT moment that I really celebrated the drought being slayed.
  12. I like the '47 brand cotton dad hats much better than New Era...plus, I try to avoid New Era since they said goodbye to Derby, NY in 2019.
  13. Had Creepy Crawlers and also Mattel came out with a similar product where you made your own Army men. You would fill the mold half way with the goo, put in a metal form about the texture of a paper clip, and fill the mold to the top. You then had a bendable Army guy. Lincoln Logs very underrated and augmented my Fort Apache playset. Built all sorts of models, Revell and Monogram cars, ships, and planes, AMT model cars but Aurora monster models were the best. They also put out sports hero models...I remember building Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Willie Mays, and Babe Ruth.
  14. I miss when Bob Hope would introduce the All American team during his Christmas special...it was always fun. I'm old. Bruce:
  15. Here in DC, the saying goes, if you don't hear three rumors by noon, start one of your own. This post may reflect that. 2:55pm: I sit corrected.
  16. Agree, the AFC South is the most irrelevant division in the NFL, thus they get the least-watched time slot. The NFC South isn't far behind...
  17. Just got back from mine...lunch, office trivia contest (each person submits an anecdote about themselves and everyone guesses who it is), and pirate gift exchange...took a little more than two hours, then BACK TO WORK.
  18. Aurora HO cars were the best. Good for you for keeping hold of them. I look at the Aurora stuff on eBay and drool.
  19. I've been yelling at the TV from my couch that I could do better at clock management. I'm uniquely qualified for the job. Anyone have BBB's email address?
