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: 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: 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 - 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: 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 - 12:11 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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....! |

That said, *I'm* nowhere near the TV as the last 2 times the Patriots were in the Super Bowl I was at parties where I was obliged to watch & they lost, so this time I'm hanging out here with y'all instead! |

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: catspaw49 Date: 31 Jan 02 - 06:48 PM You're right of course Loop and it's the owners, us, the whole damn system and it is what it is..........But every now and then around here I go off on these rants while dreaming of times past. One of the nicer things is that I live close to a city with a minor league ball club and you can see a good game and have a fun night with the family and spend less than 50 bucks including gas, parking, food, and assorted ballpark junk. Additionally, there is someone who's giving away tickets for almost every game when a block is bought by some company. Last year we had free tickets to "Dime-A-Dog Night" and our two families went (4 adults, 4kids). We got there early and were able to upgrade to box seats, ate around 40 dogs, bought a couple of caps, bought drinks and some other munchies too, and went home after seeing a damn good ball game feeling great because the whole night for EIGHT people had cost about $65.00. Geeziz, I can't get a pair of decent Reds tickets for that. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: LoopySanchez Date: 31 Jan 02 - 05:02 PM Spaw, I'm all for letting leagues tie their own ropes if they want to let salaries spiral out of control. But if owners are going to make big bucks selling advertising rights, luxury boxes, and team merchandise, I have no problem with players getting as big a slice of the pie as possible. Salaries will come down on their own in a hurry if people get fed up with paying $30 to park their car (da Bears), or $81.00 for a ticket (avg. price for a 'Skins ticket). They'll quit showing up, and the owners will cut costs to save their wallets. It hasn't happened yet, so more power to em' if they can find 80,000 people willing to turn over a Benjamin or two to enjoy a three hour footgall game eight Sundays a year. But as long as Jim Carrey, Ah-nuld, Julia, and Jack can make $20 million for a few month's work memorizing and reciting some lines, I have no problem if someone wants to pay Barry Bonds that much for a 162 game season, or if they want to pay Peyton Manning $7 million to play 16 games of football a year. When people stop coming to the games, those athletes will learn to live on less, or they'll learn to live on a LOT less selling shoes rather than endorsing them. |

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: van lingle Date: 31 Jan 02 - 11:08 AM rick, could that kicker have been pat summerall.i think he was a punter/place kicker for the giants and lions in 50's and 60's. |

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Big Mick Date: 31 Jan 02 - 10:46 AM I'd gladly swap Charlie Batch and my bodhran for Flutie to quarterback the Lions.......... Mick |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: JedMarum Date: 31 Jan 02 - 09:40 AM I like Flutie, Rick. He played in a league where he simply wasn't really big enough. He has contributed more to the first line of NFL QBs then most who do have the size and physical skills. It's true that he just cannot overcome his size to have had a long career, and the success he might otherwsie haev had - but he did much better then he should have been able to. Kinda like Spud Web. |

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Rick Fielding Date: 31 Jan 02 - 01:09 AM Thread creep (no I don't mean you Spaw) The greatest moment I've ever had in the NFL (well on TV anyway) "The snow was coming down...BLANK lines up for the field goal......here's the kick...49 yards, and through the uprights. The GIANTS win! I was a little kid, but that kicker became my hero. anybody know who it was? Biggest disappointment....That little fucker Flutie really CAN'T pass over an NFL defensive line! (he was great in Toronto and Vancouver where the defensive lines are (on average) three inches shorter. Oh, he also had sure handed receivers on the teams he played for here...he didn't get a lot of help in San Diego...'specially from the running game. There...now I can never mention his name again as long as I live. Rick

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Chip2447 Date: 30 Jan 02 - 11:51 PM Prostitutes vs Mercs, never thought about that. I kinda like the idea of the mascots duelling it out to determine the victor. "We're here in Chicago, and it looks like another rough Sunday afternoon for the Dolphins. In scores from around the league; The Eagles out flew the Cardinals, The Cowboys massacred the Redskins, and the Lions ate the Saints..." Just a thought from the weird zone... Chip2447 |

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Big Mick Date: 30 Jan 02 - 11:10 PM Rick..........on the Prosties team............can I be the tight ends coach??...........I believe I could help with technique.............and, given my background (pre union organizing) I believe I could help with strategies to use against the merc's..........as long as it didn't take away from my work on the tight ends.....................

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: Bobert Date: 30 Jan 02 - 09:54 PM SPAWZ: Yo Spawzer, you is absolutely right about the Browns. After my beloved Deadskins, the Brown's is my team. Screw Art Modell for stealin' em' from Cleveland. Fir the ol bobert, it ain't about color, though. It's about football. Man, I can still see Ernest's fumble. But, man, could he ever run. I loved watching him after the Brown's traded him to Washington. But the Browns to me is a lot like the Washington Senators back when I was a kid. If you think that corporate America has a plan for ripping off Washington, just think back and think of BASEBALL ITSELF stole the Washington Senators, not once.... BUT TWICE!!!!! AND THAT IS THE TRUTH!!!! The second thief stole MY TEAM and moved it to Texas where it is known as the Texas Rangers, it's former owner... being none other than.....(drum roll...) Ahh.... you guessed... George DUBYA, duby, dub, du..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: GUEST,BigDaddy Date: 30 Jan 02 - 08:32 PM Thanks Rick, I needed that! Laughing out loud for the first time today. We could be onto something here...more appropriate names for professional teams: The Pittsburgh Prostitutes, The Philadelphia Whiners, The Chicago Mercenaries, The Boston Bamboozlers, etc. |

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: catspaw49 Date: 30 Jan 02 - 06:48 PM I like the plan Loopy!! I think we could then do away with about half of the interminably long season along with a sizable number of teams. THEN we'd have a league that was once again small enough that only the very best would be playing. THEN we could impose some salary limits on it too. Give players a great retirement package and all, but cut the salaries from the ridiculous levels and then those who didn't want to play for say, $300,000 per year could sell Buicks instead. I propose we adopt the same plan for baseball and basketball and if the hockey or soccer leagues go nuts, we'll sit on their asses too. This would make tickets affordable and nobody's season would overlap on both sides. Glad I'm not king huh? I just get so disgusted with the whole thing though.................Sorry..Rant over. Spaw

Subject: RE: BS: Do Patriots Have a Chance From: LoopySanchez Date: 30 Jan 02 - 06:02 PM Quoth Spaw: "Once again though, these Patriots are simply lip-service liberals who maintain their vested interests when they could be taking a huge step forward in uncivil football rights..." What do you expect Spaw, After all, The Patriots are from the home state of lip-service liberalism--Taxachusetts! :>) (No, I'm not that dense, I get the parody... Hillarious stuff, Spaw!!!) However, if the NFL were a truly civilized league, they'd make sure that the Eagles make the Super Bowl regularly due to their status as a protected species, as would the Buffalo Bills. The Redskins would make it to compensate for their years of betrayal at the hands of the so-called "Patriots". The Chiefs would get the occasional free pass for the same reason. The The Steelers would need to be given a free pass once every four years too--After all, most steel workers are union members, and you'd hate for them to switch their voter support from the NFL party to another one. The 49ers would never go--after all, why reward people who mine for gold and destroy mother earth? The Cowboys would stay home every year as well--Punishment for their abuse of those poor innocent bovines that they round up to be slaughtered. |
