Hey DJ,

Don't worry, there is always next year. You'd still be ahead of us if you were in the division!

STE,
Hope the 'good game karma' creeps over from yesterday, Last night's game was a good one!

[smokey the elder]

Way to mail it in, Green Bay defense! 51-29?? OUCH!!

[RICHARD]

Way to mail it in, Green Bay defense! 51-29?? OUCH!!

I popped on the tube for the beginning, came back at a little before halftime, 21-21 and thought that I could finish my chores and watch the second half.

I should have done the reverse.

ANd what is it with the people that dress up for the games?
I thought that the Raider fans were strange!

[RICHARD]

LOL, I just saw that Plaxico Burress shot himself at a night club!


Sure ya did! The commish should suspend any NFL player who gets caught up in any gunplay for one year.

Morons.

I recall the name, but not much else.

From the NY Times -

Sammy Baugh, the Washington Redskins quarterback who was one of football’s greatest passers and a pivotal figure in transforming the National Football League from a plodding affair into a high-scoring spectacle, died Wednesday in Rotan, Tex. He was 94.

His death was confirmed by the Weathersbee-Ray Funeral Home of Rotan.

In the fall of 1937, Baugh joined the Redskins, who were newly arrived in Washington from their former home in Boston. N.F.L. players of that era butted leather helmets in largely dull encounters, the single- and double-wing offenses almost always running the ball.

Baugh had displayed his passing prowess as an all-American at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. In his first season with the Redskins, Slingin’ Sammy, as he would be known, provided a preview of football’s modern era with his brilliant passing at tailback. He took Washington to the N.F.L. championship by throwing for three touchdowns in a 28-21 victory over the Chicago Bears in the title game on frozen turf at Wrigley Field.

I especially like the last bit from this obit -

For all of Baugh’s exploits, a tale from his rookie season endures. It is evidently apocryphal, but its telling reflects the awe in which Baugh was held for his uncanny passing skills and self-confidence.

Baugh was taking the field for his first practice session with the Redskins when his coach, Ray Flaherty, handed him the football.

“They tell me you’re quite a passer,” Flaherty is said to have remarked.

“I reckon I can throw a little,” Baugh replied.

“Show me,” Flaherty said. “Hit that receiver in the eye.”

To which Baugh supposedly responded, “Which eye?”

Thank you Santa for knocking the Cowboys out of the playoffs- and thank you for giving T.O. 6 catches and over 100 yards in a loss.

Please let the Broncos beat the CHargers and please let Al Davis get better so I can continue to make fun of the way he runs the team!

Go playoffs!

Thank you Santa for knocking the Cowboys out of the playoffs- and thank you for giving T.O. 6 catches and over 100 yards in a loss.

I'll drink to that! Dumb me - I didn't watch the Eagles/Cowboys game yesterday, since I thought the Eagles were going to lose. I found out this morning that I missed one heck of a game! So they made the playoffs, but I'm not going to get over enthused, since I really have doubts that they will go much further.

At least Philadelphia came up with a winner this year - the Phillies!!!

[RICHARD]

WHile not a CHarger fan, I found the game very entertaining.

Here's to two more GREAT games today....


-------------------------

I saw a highlight of a spectacular catch in college football.....A receiver caught the ball and juggled it behind his back.....All time great snag!

I forgot who it was!

[RICHARD]

Great college games lately!

--------------

What is up with the Pacman?

I bet Jerry Jones want to kick himself.

Tank Johnson and T.O. are next on the block. What a sad season for a great team on paper.

Go playoffs!

[RICHARD]

Good luck, peoples!

Let the games begin.

----------------

Notice that all the former Raider coaches that got the sack in the last few weeks?

Shanahan and Gruden. See, the Oakland jinx is real!

[RICHARD]

David P and DJ,

Quit screaming and settle down.

You have two weeks to prepare!

Great games!


--------------

What does the stadium music person play when someone is down on the field, hurt?


Creedence and Santana!

That was a nasty hit and you could tell from looking at Mcgahee's arms that he was knocked out.

Thoughts go out to him, his family and teammates.
