stevestojan Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Well, I felt like opening some old wounds, so, I googled the Homerun Throwback, and this article just killed me... The play, designed by Lowry, calls for the Titans to field the kick and get the ball to tight end Frank Wycheck, who is supposed to run upfield and pass back across the field to kick returner Derrick Mason. But as luck would have it, Mason is out with a concussion. Back up Anthony Dorsett is also unavailable due to leg cramps. Kevin Dyson, who has never practiced the play, is called on to take their place. "As we were running on to the field, they were trying to explain the gist of the play to me," Dyson explained afterwards. ---- Now, I know it's just catching a pass, but christ, the guy had never practiced it? Someone up there doesn't want us to win.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 So how long have you been a football fan for? That was very common knowledge. It been talked about on every sports show for weeks following the game. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Now, I know it's just catching a pass, but christ, the guy had never practiced it? Someone up there doesn't want us to win.... 218090[/snapback] To be fair, the Bills special teams never practiced that season either so it all evened out.

stevestojan Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 So how long have you been a football fan for? 218104[/snapback] a week or so... s-o-r-r-y.... never read that before. I don't listen to sports talk show. If I wanted to listen to a community college drop out who thinks he knows sports and has a nickname like "mad-dog", or "Bulldog", or "Big Mike", I'd get text-to-speech for TBD ...

It was in almost every article written about the play, every recap of the game, etc. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
