I have a better stat... 4-1 in five games. The PP will come around.

For my money it's the Michal Grosek to the Blackhawks for Doug Gilmour and JP Dumont deal that still makes me laugh. Friggin GROSEK and we get Killer and Dumont? Granted, I'm still mad at Killer for not catching up to Kasparaitis, but Dumont has more than tilted that deal in our favor many times over.

Boomer ain't been right in the head ever since Bruce got to him.

Oh my. The other 19 images aren't bad either.

This quote from the site pretty much tells you what people really use it for, though:

I come to this subforum seeking the BOTD. Where is it?

Archie Manning made the Pro Football HOF? Peyton will get in, SB ring or no, but it's a bit early to put him in the Marino/Fouts/Kelly "no-ring" category. And the calling his own plays, IMHO, wasn't as important to Jimbo's election as were the four AFC championships, the five title games in six years, and making the playoffs eight of his last nine years after joining a team that went 2-14 in each of the two seasons before he arrived. Nor was it as important as the fact he made Marino's teams his personal B word for a decade and, in three consecutive AFC title games, beat Elway, Marino and Montana.

Good thing the Yankees aren't in the ALCS or the games might be rained out.

I'm with Darin. My wife loves hockey. Not enough to follow it, but she will watch with me on TV and she especially likes going to games. I took her to her first Sabres game back in '97 or so against the Habs and after Quintal elbowed Audette with a minute left in a 6-1 Sabres win, the crowd started chanting "We Want Ray." Razor came out and skated a couple of circles around Brad Brown; then, when the puck came down, they squared off and Razor hit him twice and just dropped him. Wife was hooked after that. Out of all the sports, it's easiest to get my wife to go with me to a hockey game.

And now you know the real story about why Moulds is always willing to extend his contract to stay in Buffalo...

We could go all day. Joe Danelo kicked the game-winner in the Bills' epic win at the Orange Bowl in 1983.

As is Vince Ferragamo. And Torretta too. I guess they'll let anybody in. Then again, there's also Alan Ameche, Dante Lavelli... and, of course, Daryle Lamonica. Brian Piccolo as well.

He sucked.

Worked pretty well with Gino Torretta and Giovanni Carmazzi, so I don't see why not. Then again, Dan Pastorini wasn't bad for awhile, and neither were Gino Cappelletti, Nick Buoniconti (much as it pains me to admit) or Gino Marchetti. Or Franco Harris. But Hammer07 is right... Fonoti is Samoan!

Here's to red shorty-shorts. (On that girl. Not on Brett Favre. Please, let's not go there again.)

Great post and analysis. I agree completely.

I don't see a delete button. Maybe I need some powers activated?

All good things come to they who wait, I guess!

Biscuit's not on that list either. In terms of raw talent AND production, he has to be there (even if he didn't end up being the next LT as was predicted for him).

The OP asked about the stiff-arm. I think I read somewhere that defenders are very aware of it (and why wouldn't they be, when he put two or three guys out last year with it?) and are trying to avoid it when tackling him, i.e., coming in lower when he runs those sweeps. So he doesn't have as many opportunities to use the hammer.

What game were they watching? There was plenty of hitting, I thought. At least there was enough to satisfy most fans. What there WASN'T was clutching, grabbing and hooking. At least now when a guy goes down it's because someone put a body on him, not because someone hooked him or hauled him down by his jersey. Speedy skaters, hard workers, and fundamentally skilled players will thrive in this new game. Slow-footed skaters, lazy players, and bad puckhandlers are getting exposed all over the league, and I love it.

Tell you what, it was fun to watch the Bills and Sabres both win the last couple of days while listening to announcers who clearly wanted the other team to win -- Randy Cross because he hates the Bills and the OLN crew because of Crosby. Pens have Crosby, Mario, LeClair, Recchi, Palffy... and no damn D at all. Gonchar is their best blueliner and he's basically a fourth forward. Unless Fleury stands on his head for the rest of the season like he did tonight, that team isn't making the playoffs... and that will kill the folks at OLN.

Whooooo hoooooooooooo! Hecht with the winner with 20 seconds left in OT! Man the OLN announcers are crying in their beers after genuflecting before Mario, Sid, Fleury et. al. all game. A big :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: to those announcers and I'm glad we don't have to listen to them but four times this year. Pens 0-4. Life is good.

We had 6'10" Mike Rockwood for awhile. He couldn't block kicks, and he couldn't play tackle either.

Odelein just picked up a penalty; Sabres have a 5 on 3 now. I'll never forget when Barnaby called Odelein "Cornelius" from Planet of the Apes. That was hilarious.
