Agree. I will take last season's throwbacks or the uni's from 1973 (blue pants with the road white jersey).

Or Houston isn't during "hurricane season."

Washington Post all over this today: Rams and Chiefs leading candidates

Living in the DC area, this next week will be painful...

Mrs. Silvius, a waitress at a truck stop (shocking) in Doswell, Va: "My children know not to come around when I'm on the front porch with my morning coffee, tending to my cows...because I'm having a cigarette," she said.

It wasn't until a couple of years ago, that I finally figured out what that song was about...

About ten years ago I got an Elvis Christmas CD that came with a pop-up Graceland, all decorated for the holidays...Classic!

Schoney music Scroll down the page a little to find the Shoenfeld album.

"Gramma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" Slightly humorous the first 200 times I heard it...now I want to stick knitting needles in my ears anytime it comes on.

Tell me you were half asleep when you saw/heard this, right?

This one's not bad Lids

On ESPN Classic, debuting February 2nd, Super Bowl week. This is actually a pretty good series on Classic, one of the last reasons to watch ESPN. ESPN Classic link Anyways, FWIW, here's my top five reasons you can't blame Scott Norwood for losing Super Bowl XXV: 5. The Bills abandoned the running game. Thurman was running wild, should have been the MVP, and should have been featured earlier in the game. 4. Lost chances. Due to Giant hits, Andre Reed suddenly afraid of going over the middle. Bruce does not swat the ball out of Hostetler’s paw in the end zone, resulting in a safety not a TD. 3. Mark Ingram’s (sp?) catch on third and forever. Kept a Giant TD drive alive as Ingram broke several tackles (most notably Shane Conlon). 2. Marv Levy. Marv never had control of his troops when they invaded a Super Bowl city. Bills players have recently boasted of the partying in Tampa during the short Super Bowl week. 1. It was a loooooong FG attempt. On grass. 47 yards. Never known for a strong leg, the chances of Norwood making the kick were no more than 30 percent before the ball was even snapped.

Was at the '93 game where Talley ran back an INT for a TD and Bruce made a circus-catch INT that you still see in highlight clips... Dang, THOSE were the days.

Fourteen point underdogs at Cincy...nine point underdogs at HOME last week. It's 'Back to the Future,' 1985-style.

The only commercial JP has been in, or mentioned in, is the one for the NFL Fantasy League where some dope claims JP is the second coming of KENNY STAPLER.

This "record" is tainted now, however, thanks to the shootouts...last night's game for example would have been a tie sans the new shootout rule. But hey, go for the "record" anyways!

That is the key: there is a history of success in Green Bay, three Super Bowls, and more than several NFL championships. Hey, if you're a Packer fan and can remember at least as far back as to when the Pack beat the Pats, everything else is just gravy.

I think it's safe to say, that I don't think a visiting team has been favored by such a large margin at Rich/RWS since 1985... These times they are a changin'....

Will check it out when I return for a game next year...or do they jack-up the prices ala that "tourist trap," The Tree, on home game weekends?

Get drunk faster: Watch the ESPN Sunday game and drink every time Joe Theisman says: "He did a nice job."

Good find! "...relocated to Utica, New York?" They need to update their tour sched...2004 is the last year on there.

Holy crap...loved OTGW! Saw them at the Arcade several times, always around this time of year when I was home for T-Giving/holidays. I'm thinking the last time I saw them was about ten years ago though...(or when I came up for a playoff game ) And yes, they were great...jeeziz, haven't thought about them in a loooooong time, wonder if they're still around? Another great cover band/act at the Arcade was Rob Levesque (sp?) who used to do great Howard Jones/Genesis/Phil Collins/etc

And another little known note, the Fish were three point UNDERDOGS to the Redskins in the Super Bowl... Link

But these are the type of people the NFL is after...17-24 year olds, still living with mommy and daddy and with plenty of disposable $$$. Seen a Coors Light ad recently? That video game LT is hawking? The louts are showing up in greater numbers in more and more stadiums, not just RWS. The Washington Post had an article last week on the growing number of drunks and fights at FedEx Field, of all places.

And that's the key...RW sits in his box, raincoat, tie, and baseball cap on, looks around, sees a stadium full of people while his offense is mustering a whole nine points, and thinks to himself, "I guess it ain't all bad." I re-read "Relentless" a couple of weeks ago and there is a quote from Ralph in there that read, to the effect, that the Super Bowl was actually anti-climatic, that winnning the conference was what it was all about...more than 10 years following the last SB loss, I think that statement still speaks volumes. Settling for second-best, settling for mediocrity, seems to be the Bills' way.
