A thin film of ice has started to form all across Hell and darkening clouds may mean conditions of snow. Hitler is trying to round up his cronies for a snowball fight. ***END OF MESSAGE*** Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Desdemona Date: 03 Feb 02 - 09:58 PM Hmmm...interesting to speculate who's playing on Hitler's team; d'you suppose Stalin's starting this time, or maybe Idi Amin? |

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Desdemona Date: 03 Feb 02 - 10:10 PM Well, it just proves my point that it's better if I don't watch; we have an extremely excited 10 year old & an unconscious 7 year old. Now all that remains is the inarticulate comments of the principles, to be recorded & replayed by sportscasters in the days ahead like the words of Aristotle....! |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Sorcha Date: 03 Feb 02 - 10:26 PM I don't believe it. What a game. They earned it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Lonesome EJ Date: 03 Feb 02 - 10:45 PM Brady was terrific. Maybe they'll trade Bledsoe to the Broncos. |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: DougR Date: 03 Feb 02 - 10:53 PM Congratulations, Louie Roy! DougR |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Lonesome EJ Date: 03 Feb 02 - 11:02 PM Yeah, Louie. By the way, can you give me six Lotto numbers? |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: JedMarum Date: 03 Feb 02 - 11:14 PM Louie Roy - You are a genius! What a game. The Patriots were just great, and certainly managed (and that is almost certainly the appropriate word here) to beat a very very fine team indeed! I'm thrilled. |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Big Mick Date: 04 Feb 02 - 12:13 AM I AM ABSOLUTELY FLABBERGASTED AND TICKLED TO DEATH OVER THIS ONE!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I was rooting for them all the way, but thought Louie Roy was wishful thinkin'. I am pleased as I can be to just say.........WAY TO GO LOUIE ROY. You nailed it, sir. Hat's off to you. I love it when the underdog wins. And with an Irish American at the helm...........don't git no better. I wonder what part of Ireland Lawyer Milloy's family is from?? LOL. Way to go to a great team. Mick |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Rick Fielding Date: 04 Feb 02 - 12:47 AM HOLY FRIGGIN' COW! What an amzing game! Boy am I glad to be wrong. Without that last second FG, they'd have been in big trouble....Warner and his receivers were comin' on strong. Lotsa fun Rick |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Sandy Paton Date: 04 Feb 02 - 12:55 AM Those dramatic endings are even better when it's your team that wins. Jed's long-distance loyalty has been rewardsd! Kinda fun to hear Madden back-pedaling when they played to win, not to go for the overtime. Best game I've seen in years! Sandy |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Mark Cohen Date: 04 Feb 02 - 01:55 AM Well, as long as the Eagles weren't playing this was the next best thing. It really was a classic game, even if our British friends can't figure out how a team can score that many goals in a football game. And Louie...my coconut-frond hat is off to you, my friend. Nailed down and preserved in cyberspace! And Rick, if you stayed around for the saccharine post-game show, you'll know that it was Pat Summerall who kicked that field goal for the Giants. I missed that one...I was only -5 years old. By the way, can anybody tell me if Bill Belichick is originally from Baltimore? I'm trying to check on my ear for accents. Aloha, Mark |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: catspaw49 Date: 04 Feb 02 - 02:08 AM Well hell done froze over because this one had all the classic makings of that Bengal-49er debacle and turned out to be maybe the best since the Jets and Colts!!! And wherever Belichek is from, that cheap, money grubbing, contemptuous, jackass of a carpet bagging, sleazy, scrotum licking, asshole, Art Modell canned him when the Browns had him. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 04 Feb 02 - 06:44 AM *sigh* I just don't get football. But I checked it at about 9:45 EST to see how they were doing. I was so confused that I shut the tv off when there was about 1 minute, 40 sec to go (in football time, that could take ages!). Score was tied, the Rams were jubilant- I figured it was all over. Wish I'd stuck it out for a coupla more minutes! |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: WyoWoman Date: 04 Feb 02 - 08:11 AM I guess so. ww |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: JedMarum Date: 04 Feb 02 - 09:34 AM My Bostonian sister-in-law sent me this little "true story." I thought y'all might enjoy it! ;-)
A first grade teacher in St. Louis explains to her class that she is a Rams fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Rams fans. |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: SharonA Date: 04 Feb 02 - 10:20 AM Nice goin', Louie Roy! I didn't speculate as to the point spread, but I also called it for the Patriots to win, earlier on this thread. See post here You may also recall that I predicted the Arizona Diamondbacks would take the 2001 World Series in 7 games. (You guys really oughta pay more attention when I say these things! *G*) Sharon |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: GUEST,Nancy King at work Date: 04 Feb 02 - 11:27 AM Quite aside from this being the most exciting Superbowl in years, and the special joy of having the underdog team I was rooting for actually WIN, I thought one of the true highlights was Terry Bradshaw and Paul McCartney singing "Hard Days Night." Totally cool! Cheers, Nancy |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Rick Fielding Date: 04 Feb 02 - 12:03 PM Hi Mark. Oh I KNEW it was Pat all right. I wasn't Too much) older than you, when it happened, and I was soooo happy, 'cause the Giants wuz mah team! Hmmmm, who was the first "sidewinder" kicker? Wasn't Garo Yepremian was it. The "old" kickers that I remember were Hornung, Groza, Blanda, and who was that guy from Philly (started with a "B") Bloody marvelous game! Rick |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: catspaw49 Date: 04 Feb 02 - 12:11 PM Ah yes....another Brown great! Lou "The Toe" Groza. Rick, how about Tom Dempsey? Remember him? Only had half a foot and he kicked the longest field goal in history....63 yards.....Is that still a record? I remeber reading alex Karras' book where he described that kick. Karras said he and the other Lions didn't even really rush the Saints and pretty much just turned around to get a good view of this laughable 63 yard attempt. I think he used the word numb in describing his amazement that it went through. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Mrrzy Date: 04 Feb 02 - 12:48 PM And wasn't that commercial with the hawk great? |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: catspaw49 Date: 04 Feb 02 - 12:51 PM Yeah Myrrz....I think Bud won the commercial contest.....The Clydesdales bowing at New York City, the Hawk pilfering pilsners and bras.......Pretty good effort. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Mark Cohen Date: 04 Feb 02 - 03:32 PM And the BattleBots parody, and the slippery satin sheets, and "So how much?" Some brilliance there. Almost makes me want to go out and buy some Bud Light. Almost. Tom Dempsey was an Eagle before he was a Saint, of course. And as soon as I have my ginkgo I'll probably remember the name of the Eagles old kicker for Rick. And who was the guy who was both QB and kicker? Was it Blanda? Aloha, Mark |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: catspaw49 Date: 04 Feb 02 - 05:17 PM Blanda also played QB. As soon as Rick said "B" the only Eagle that immediately came to mind was Chuck Bednarik. I don't recall him ever kicking a goal, but he kicked a lot of ass!!! As I recall he did boot Gifford through the uprights didn't he? There was only one running back who was ever a match for Bednarik. Could the kicker have been named something common like Brown or Baker....kinda' sticks in my mind. Also, who did come first in the sidewinders? Could it have been Stenerud (sp) with the Chiefs? Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: MMario Date: 04 Feb 02 - 05:21 PM oh - was that this weekend? |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Sandy Paton Date: 04 Feb 02 - 05:51 PM In spite of all the hoopla about Warner, Brady and McNabb are two SUPER quarterbacks. Maybe next time, Mark! Sandy |
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Big Mick Date: 04 Feb 02 - 08:50 PM And speaking of Alex Karras.............was there ever a funnier moment in film than when he cold cocked the horse in Blazing Saddles? I almost wet myself. Mick |
